Influence of Japanese Sewage Discharge into the Sea on China

Influence of Japanese sewage discharged into the sea on the ecological environment of China.

The discharge of Japanese nuclear sewage into the sea will deal a serious blow to China's economic development. The discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea will affect China's fishery industry, resulting in a decline in fishermen's income, a shrinking fishery market and an increase in fishery safety risks. According to statistics, China is the largest fishing country in the world, with a total fishery output of 65 million tons from 2065438 to 2009, accounting for 35% of the global total.

Among them, fish caught from the Pacific Ocean account for more than 60%. If the discharge of nuclear sewage from Japan into the sea causes the reduction or pollution of fishery resources in the Pacific Ocean, then China's fishery will face great losses and challenges; The discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea will affect China's tourism and trade, resulting in a decrease in tourism revenue, trade volume and trade friction.

Social impact of nuclear sewage

Nuclear sewage contains many radioactive elements, such as uranium, plutonium, cesium, strontium, iodine and cobalt. Some have a long half-life, such as the half-life of uranium -238 is 4.5 billion years, and the half-life of plutonium -239 is 24,000 years. These radioactive elements have serious harm to human body and environment. According to different sources and conditions, the concentrations and proportions of various radioactive elements in nuclear sewage are different, but they usually far exceed international standards and safety limits.

If nuclear sewage is discharged into the environment without proper treatment, it will have a serious impact on the ecosystem and human health. Radioactive substances can spread through water, soil, air and food chain, which leads to the increase of radiation dose in organisms and causes various diseases and gene mutations. Therefore, the treatment and disposal of nuclear sewage must follow strict safety standards and norms to avoid any possible leakage and accidents.
