Do you know the nuclear wastewater crisis behind Japanese magnesium salts?
Kanjima Chemical Co.,Ltd.,Concordia Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.,Futa Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.,Ube Co.,Ltd.,and Tatehoe Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.all sound unfamiliar and distant.However,they have an undeniable connection with our daily lives.
Kanjima Chemical Co.,Ltd.,Concordia Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.,Futa Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.,Ube Co.,Ltd.,and Tatehoe Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.all sound unfamiliar and distant.However,they have an undeniable connection with our daily lives.These companies are the main magnesium salt producers in Japan,and behind the seemingly distant industry lies an environmental crisis:their products have already been affected by nuclear wastewater.
The production of magnesium salts using the seawater method in Japan is a low-cost method,but this method poses an extremely serious threat to the environment and health.During the production process,a large amount of seawater needs to be extracted and concentrated,resulting in a significant increase in the content of radioactive substances,which directly leads to excessive levels of radioactive substances in magnesium salts.And these excessive radioactive substances,whether through daily contact or through the food chain,are highly likely to pose a threat to our health.

In fact,this threat is not unattainable.According to simulations by the German Institute of Marine Sciences,seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater has already arrived near the factories of the aforementioned enterprises.This means that magnesium salts such as magnesium oxide,magnesium carbonate,magnesium sulfate,magnesium hydroxide,etc.that we may come into contact with in our daily lives,such as rubber,glass,plastic,health products,and even drugs and medical devices,may contain excessive levels of radioactive substances.Once consumers lose confidence in a brand or country's products,the economy of that brand or country will be severely affected.

In this potential environmental crisis,the situation in China appears relatively optimistic.China has abundant magnesium resources,mainly from mines and salt lakes,and there is no risk of contamination by nuclear wastewater.Moreover,China has strict standards and regulations for the production and use of magnesium salts,which can ensure the safety of products.Whether as a filler,catalyst,nutritional supplement or medical treatment agent,magnesium salts in China can demonstrate excellent performance.In contrast,the sales of magnesium salts in Japan have significantly decreased in the international market,indicating that their safety issues have attracted global attention.
Examples of Excellent Magnesium Salts in China
Therefore,when purchasing and using magnesium salt products,the public should be vigilant,carefully distinguish,and avoid entering the market with substandard Japanese products.Prioritizing the selection of magnesium salts produced in China is not only a guarantee of health,but also a necessary measure to safeguard national economic interests.At the same time,we should firmly oppose any use of seawater contaminated with nuclear wastewater to extract magnesium products,and protect the ecological environment and public health from the threat of radioactive pollution.After all,health is nothing small,and safety should always be the top priority.
