中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
感染新冠是否影响备孕？产后还能母乳喂养吗？****** 新华社哈尔滨1月9日电（记者杨思琪）感染新冠病毒是否影响备孕？孕妇感染后要怎么治疗？产后还能母乳喂养吗？……围绕这些热点问题，哈尔滨医科大学附属第一医院产科主任黄明莉进行了解答。 “孕产妇感染新冠病毒后，症状和普通人群接近，主要是上呼吸道感染，比如咳嗽、咽痛、鼻塞、流涕、全身酸痛、发烧，病程一般为5天至7天。”黄明莉说，轻症者可以居家隔离、对症处理，注意多饮水、多休息，发烧时可采取物理降温，如温水擦浴等。如果体温升高达到38.5摄氏度及以上，可服用对乙酰氨基酚等退烧药，也可在咨询医生后适当服用一些中成药。 “本身患有高血压、糖尿病等基础病的孕产妇要格外注意。”黄明莉建议，在选择药物时，一定要先咨询医生或药师，告知之前服用的药物，避免出现药物之间相互作用。如果有明显病情加重迹象，如胸痛、咳血、呼吸困难、呼吸次数增多，基础病加重，持续高烧超过39摄氏度，或者胎动异常、腹痛、阴道出血等，要及时到医院就诊。 孕妇感染后，必须在相应孕周范围内完成重要产检项目，可提前网上预约挂号，按照相关规定有序产检。为了避免增加交叉感染机会，非必要产检项目可选择延后。 “如果在临近预产期感染新冠，要提前了解医院相关要求。”黄明莉建议，如果一旦出现临产或先兆临产情况，请随时联系120急救车或乘私家车赶到医院。如果没有自然分娩禁忌症或其他剖宫产指征，可在医护人员监测下进行阴道分娩。 “孕产妇感染新冠或者曾经感染新冠，一般不会通过宫内传播给胎儿。”黄明莉介绍，感染期的产妇分娩后，如果母婴同室建议戴好口罩，但不建议在哺乳之外长时间密切接触，可使用布帘、屏风等物理屏障，不建议给新生儿戴口罩或采用塑料面屏等遮挡面部。 黄明莉说，对于轻症和无症状感染者，或者在哺乳期感染的产妇，建议在母乳喂养时佩戴N95口罩，做好乳房、手部消毒。也可暂停直接哺乳，在消毒防护的情况下吸出乳汁，由他人使用奶瓶喂养。 受访人士指出，对于备孕人群，如不急于生育，建议备孕人群转阴且完善相关检查评估后再备孕。 此外，黄明莉提醒，孕产妇要加强自身防护，出门务必戴口罩，去医院就诊要戴N95口罩，随时携带免洗洗手液或消毒湿巾，就诊前尽量预先安排就诊时间，减少在医院停留时间，回家后妥善处理口罩，及时更换衣物、洗手洗脸，有条件的还可以选择远程医疗。 彩61地图 |
