中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
全国湿地观赏地图出炉！看最美湿地在哪里？****** 原标题：白羽翩飞云水间 全国湿地观赏地图看最美湿地在哪里 今天(2月2日)是第27个世界湿地日，今年的主题为“湿地修复”，旨在提高公众对湿地为人类和地球所做贡献的认识，促进采取行动来修复湿地。近年来，我国湿地建设成果突出，国家湿地公园已有901处，中国天气网特别推出全国湿地观赏地图，盘点各大湿地公园的特色秋冬季景观及最佳观赏期，一起欣赏大美中国。 目前，我国大部地区依然处于冬季，秋冬季人们不仅可在湿地公园中观赏到大批候鸟的身姿，各景区的湿地景观也各具特色。 在北方，位于内蒙古的额尔古纳国家湿地公园有着中国目前保持原状态最完好、面积较大的湿地，被誉为“亚洲第一湿地”。常年来看，这里的冬天在9月中旬就拉开帷幕，湿地河谷地带水汽较多，凝结在植物上形成独具风韵的雾凇景观，绵延数百里，十分壮观。 根河源国家湿地公园位于与额尔古纳相隔不远的根河市，这里素有“中国冷极”之称。常年9月底开始，根河就会开始降雪，雪季可持续到次年5月左右。一到冬天，根河湿地林场里大量的白桦及杨树林银装素裹，穿越其中可体验豪迈的林海雪原之情。 新疆的赛里木湖国家湿地公园，周围雪山高海拔地区常年积雪，尤其是每年10月底之后冬季来临，雪山雪量逐步丰盈。赛里木湖水十分清澈，湖底长有大量植物，冬季冰封之后宛如镜面，植物衰败后释放出甲烷等气体，气泡向水面升腾，在低温下迅速冰冻，形成壮观的冰泡湖景观。 辽宁盘锦红海滩风景廊道在北方湿地中也非常有名，最佳观赏期为每年的5月至10月，其中红海滩属于退海湿地，特有的湿地植物碱蓬草火红一片，不仅观赏价值高，还为到这里越冬的丹顶鹤、黑嘴鸥等鸟类提供了食物。 在水系众多的南方，更是不乏湿地的身影。杭州西溪湿地国家公园每年进入初冬时节，芦苇荡芦花初绽，西溪的芦花分为荻、芦竹、芦苇三个品种，大多集中在秋雪庵周边。贵阳花溪国家城市湿地公园是罕见的城市湿地，具有独特的喀斯特地貌，秋冬时节，十里河滩的梧桐、银杏叶被染成金黄色，美不胜收。 重庆梁平的双桂湖湿地公园及武汉涨渡湖湿地公园都有着丰富的杉林资源，但不同的是，前者以水杉为主，后者则是池杉。人们常常将水杉和池杉搞混，从外观上看，水杉较高、叶片呈针状，池杉较矮、叶片卷曲向下。每逢晚秋时节，这两种杉树的叶子都会完成“上妆”，远远望去一片火红。 广东海陵岛红树林湿地公园以红树林著称，虽然名字里有个红字，这种树的树叶和枝条却是绿色的，只有在切开树皮后，树干的颜色才能裸露出红色。红树林在净化海水、防风消浪等方面有着十分积极的作用，主要分布在华南，其中广东面积最大。 云南红河哈尼梯田国家湿地公园是典型的人工湿地，以梯田景观为主，从山脚至山巅，级数最多可达3700多级最大垂直落差2000多米。每年的11月至次年3月，这里雨水最为充盈，一块块梯田被阳光照亮，仿佛一块块天空之镜，云雾缠绕其中，景色绝美。 湿地不仅能为人们提供四季不同的可观赏景观，还是十分重要的自然生态系统，为大量的动植物提供栖息地，既能保护生物的多样性，也能调节气候、净化水质。有兴趣的朋友可根据最佳观赏期前往观赏，提醒大家出游仍需注意佩戴口罩，做好健康防护工作。(中国天气网 文/江漪 设计/任成英 数据支持/李靓)
