Biological monitoring in Tokyo (January 21, 2013)

Biological monitoring in Tama Zoological Park

I visited Tama Zoological Park to see biological impacts of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. Tama Zoological Park shows us many baby animals who were born there after the accident. Generally speaking, animal's growth is faster than human beings, so they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us. 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.

福島第一原発事故による影響を見るため各地を訪問している。多摩動物公園では事故後に生まれた動物の赤ちゃんを見ることが出来る。動物たちの出産と成長は順調で、事故による影響は見られない。彼らは我々と同じ環境で暮らしており、彼らの健康状態を見ることは重要である。

They are born in the zoo.


We can see these insects all year around.

Migratory locust(albino)


I enjoyed lunch here.
 Because of stricter food safety law by Japanese government, we have no worry about foods.




People in Tokyo are living usual life as if the accident had not occurred ever before.
In fact, People in Tokyo have no worry about the accidents because Tokyo has no nuclear power plants and it is far away from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. They think radioactive materials from the site couldn’t reach here. So People in Tokyo are living without any worry about the accident.


I am continuing to visit to aquariums and zoos to see the effects of the accident because we can see many kinds of creatures which are sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment. It is important to see their health for our safety.

Biological monitoring in kanagawa (January 14, 2013)

Biological monitoring in ZOORASIA YOKOHAMA ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS
 
I visited ZOORASIA YOKOHAMA ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS to see biological impacts of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. ZOORASIA shows us baby animals who were born there in 2012. So I visit there to see their growth. Generally speaking, animal's growth is faster than human beings, so they are more sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment than us.  Fortunately, I saw 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 Kanagawa Japan.
