Biological monitoring in Tokyo (July 25, 2013)

Biological monitoring in "Kasai Rinkai Suizokuen"

I visited Tokyo Sea Life Park "Kasai Rinkai Suizokuen" 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.

Tokyo Sea Life Park shows us realistic and dramatic displays of freshwater and marine life not only from Tokyo, but also from around the world, even from the Antarctic. In the huge 2,200-ton tank, you can enjoy watching bluefin tuna darting swiftly around. The aquarium also exhibits sea birds including penguins, and giant kelp from California, US. The facility sits on the beach of Tokyo Bay and could be reached in half an hour by train from Tokyo station.

Generally speaking sea creature's growth is faster than human beings, so they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us. Fortunately, they seemed healthy and I couldn't find any impact of the accident. Japanese stricter food safety law saves our lives successfully so people in Tokyo have no worry about food.

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 Tokyo is very far away from the nuclear power plant, people in Tokyo have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Tokyo 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 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.

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.

Biological monitoring in Kanagawa (July 3, 2013)

Biological monitoring at YOKOHAMA HAKKEIJIMA SEA PARADISE
 
I visited YOKOHAMA HAKKEIJIMA SEA PARADISE 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 can find no effect against creatures in Japan.
There are over 500 different varieties of fish with more than 100,000 sea creatures there. It is one of the largest Aquariums in Japan. There is an immense three-story aquarium filled with thousands of tropical and fresh water fish. You can even enjoy fishing horse mackerel. Furthermore we can cook and eat them inside the facility.
Generally speaking, fish's growth is so fast than human beings that they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us.
So I visited the aquarium to see effects of the accident against creatures which are living 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 Kanagawa Japan.
