Cooking, Food & Wine

report from (by reporter Wang Weiwei) yesterday, the Ministry of Health held a news conference, China CDC radiation protection and nuclear safety Institute of medicine, Director of the National Center for nuclear accident emergency medical Su Xu said at the meeting, China has not detected the radioactive substance in the milk and drinking water, detect radioactive material after cleaning vegetables consumption does not affect public health.

milk drinking water are qualified

according to Su Xu introduction, big-leaf, down on the surface of vegetables easily contaminated by radiation, is by far the main sampling, main examination in Beijing, Shepherd's purse, lettuce leaf spinach. CDC said a total of 3 machines to detect radioactive materials in China, vegetables, milk and drinking water testing, because of very low levels of radiation, detection of a sample to more than 20 hours, "can test only one a day, currently not detected radioactive milk and drinking water".

Su Xu says, point daily data reported to the State of emergency across the country and Coordination Authority published, as long as the environment in the country and can detect radioactive materials in the air, food and drinking water testing will continue. In addition, the coastal areas of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Liaoning and other layout test seafood products.

immersion cleaning may be subject to radiation

recently, several city in spinach, lettuce and other vegetables were detected radioactive materials. In response, Su Xu, said recent experiments have shown that detects the radioactive iodine-131 of spinach to soak in water for about 10 minutes, then after cleaning radiation will not be detected. Trace cases cleaning, cleaning out about 50%, cleaning can reduce 90% three times, "there is a trace of pollution, and can be cleaned off, we do not need to panic."

Su Xu said, because the air is extremely trace of radioactive material, therefore natural precipitation, even in rain and snow to accelerate settlement down is at very low levels.

vegetable surface contamination is detected radioactive material is now very weak. Even if no cleaning, eating 1 kg of vegetables a day, producing radiation dose burden of about 3 per thousand of the equivalent of a day of natural radiation.

our coastal waters unpolluted

according to Su Xu introduction, results of the analysis display, currently Japan Fukushima nuclear power plant near the ocean affected by nuclear radiation contamination is heavy, but so far has no impact on our coastal waters. Radioactive substance diffusion slower in the ocean and marine waters is a large amount, with water surging up or down in the diffusion process, will continue settlement.

for the current "Japan marine products containing radioactive substance into China" rumours of Su Xu said China has banned from Japan 12 counties of imported food and feed, edible agricultural products from Japan into the domestic items through quality supervision departments of strict radiation detection, contaminated foods have very little access to the country.
