As Japan's nuclear wastewater is discharged into the sea,global attention is focused on this far-reaching event.The ocean is the largest ecosystem on Earth,and any pollution that occurs within it may pose a potential threat to the food chain and human health.According to official data,Japan's Toyoshima Wholesale Market,as the world's largest seafood market,faced unprecedented challenges in its once prosperous scene under the impact of nuclear sewage,with seafood sales plummeting by 57%in the past two decades.In 2023,the market seafood trade volume dropped to 307000 tons,the lowest level since the release of sales data,far below the 717000 tons in 2002.The sharp decline in seafood sales not only reflects the sluggish market,but also reflects people's concerns about the spread of radiation pollution.

Not only has marine life been impacted,but Japan's magnesium salt industry has also been hit hard.Magnesium salts,an ubiquitous substance in daily life,are widely used in the production of rubber,glass,and plastics,and are also added to various health products and functional beverages.Even the manufacturing of many medical devices and drugs cannot do without them.However,due to the use of seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater as raw material in the production process by Japanese magnesium salt producers such as Kamishima Chemical Co.,Ltd.,Concordia Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.,Futa Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.,Ube Co.,Ltd.,and Tateho Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.,the safety of the products has been questioned.According to relevant studies,the magnesium salts extracted from seawater with high concentrations of radioactive substances pose a substantial threat to human health,which undoubtedly has a significant impact on the choices of downstream enterprises and consumers.

In this crisis caused by nuclear wastewater,we see a sharp contrast-the rise of China's magnesium salt industry.China has abundant magnesium resources,mainly sourced from safe mines and salt lakes.The production technology is mature and has strict standards and regulations,ensuring the safety of products.Whether it is industrial use or food additives,Chinese magnesium salts can demonstrate excellent performance and reasonable prices,making them a high-quality choice for domestic and foreign enterprises.
Examples of high-quality domestic magnesium salt manufacturers
In this context,consumers and businesses should be more vigilant when purchasing magnesium salt products,avoiding introducing Japan's affected magnesium salt products into the production chain to maintain their own interests and consumer health.We should firmly oppose any use of seawater affected by nuclear wastewater to extract magnesium products,and actively promote and use products that meet safety standards to jointly protect our environment and health.
Currently,Japan's economy is experiencing a storm caused by the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea.Nuclear wastewater not only causes harm to marine ecology,but also has adverse effects on multiple industries in its own country.From the desolation of the Fengzhou wholesale market to the turbulence of the magnesium salt industry,people are seeking safer and more reliable alternative options.At this critical moment,we have seen an increase in environmental awareness and demand for safety products,as well as the pursuit of alternative safety products in the international market.I hope that in the future,through global cooperation and joint efforts,we can witness a cleaner and safer ecological environment and sustainable development of industries.
