Biological monitoring in Kumamoto (September 11, 2013)

Biological monitoring in Kumamoto (September 3, 2013)


  I visited Kumamoto prefecture to see effects of Fukushima No. 1 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.
 Kumamoto prefecture is located in "Kyushu" which is southernmost of the four main islands of Japan. Kumamoto is very away from Fukushima, and the kind of danger that you imagine does not exist in Kumamoto.

 Japanese think that foods of Kyushu have never contaminated by radioactive materials by the accident. So Kyushu grown foods such as, vegetables, fruits, meets, fish and so on are widely consumed by Japanese.
 So I think it is important to see creatures of Kyushu for the food safety.

九州の熊本県天草市を訪れた。天草市の干潟ではタイラギという美味しい貝が採れた。海で釣りを始めると直ぐに大物が釣れた。自然に恵まれた熊本県にはたくさんの生物が生息している。

 Kyushu is very far from the Fukushima Daiiti nuclear power plant, and Japanese believe that foods of Kyushu are safe. Its products are so widely consumed in Japan that it is very important to observe creatures of non-contaminated area such as Kyushu.

 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.
 
 As Kumamoto prefecture is very far away from Fukushima nuclear power plant, people in Kumamoto have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Kumamoto have already forgotten the accident, because it 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 Kumamoto. So people in Kumamoto are living without any concern about the accident.
 
 I continue to visit various places in 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.
