Biological monitoring in Tokyo (July 11, 2013)

Biological monitoring at Tokyo Metropolitan Park

I visited Tokyo Metropolitan Park to see biological impacts of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. Though I have visited various places in Japan to see the health consequence of the accident, I have never found any effect against creatures in Japan.
Now summer has come in Tokyo and we can see various insects at Tokyo Metropolitan Park. As Japanese boys like bug hunting, we often see them collecting various bugs at every park. Especially they want to hunt beetles or stag beetles. Generally speaking, bug's growth is so fast than human beings that they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us.
So I visited a park to see effects of the accident against bugs which are grown up in Japan.
Fortunately, I could see them grown up safely and I couldn't find any impact of the accident. It seems that there is no problem for childbirth and child-rearing in Tokyo Japan.

夏の虫を探しに都立公園に行ってきた。今年もカブトムシやクワガタなど夏の昆虫をたくさん見ることが出来た。東京に遊びに来たら、都立公園で天然のカブトムシを探してみよう。





Now the beetle is coming from the earth.

I found first beetle at the park on July 3, 2013.
I found 3 beetles on July 3,2013.
 
I found 6 beetles on July 4, 2013.
 
I found a horn of beetle in the earth.
He was just coming from the earth.
 
I could find many beetles this year.
 
There was a stag beetle too.
 
2 years have passed since Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. I have visited various places of Japan to see the health consequence of the accident. Fortunately I have never found any impacts by the accident among Japanese creatures. As far as I know, nobody has health problem which is caused by the accident in Japan.
So people in Tokyo have already forgotten the nuclear power plant accident too. Because Tokyo is very far away from the site and radioactive materials cannot reach there. We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Tokyo. So people in Tokyo are living without any concern about the accident.
I continue to visit various places in the Japan to see the effects of the accident, because I can meet various creatures which are more sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment. It is important to see their health for our safety.
