Notes

Do you think tap water is contaminated with herbicides? glyphosate? From where do these unfounded reports come from?
What is Gryphosate herbicide you ask?

Glyphosate (ingredient named "glyphosate Iopropylamine sal") is an herbicide used for farming and gardening throughout the world which includes Japan. When it is sprayed, it absorbs the green parts of plants, such as the stems and leaves. Then it spreads to roots and eventually withers the whole plant. It is not selective and all plants die when it's applied to their leaves. Because the patent on the ingredients has expired the majority of pesticide firms now offer herbicides containing glyphosate. All glyphosate-based herbicides are tested and reliable.

Glyphosate's safety is one of its most important features. It's low in toxicity to animals because of the mechanism of inhibition that blocks enzymes from being activated by plants. Furthermore, the chemical solution is able to absorb into soil and become food for microorganisms. グリホサート https://agriknowledge.affrc.go.jp/RN/2010890726.pdf The chemical can also be separated into water, carbon dioxide and other compounds. Since it permits no-tillage cultivation and is regarded as a pesticide that helps reduce greenhouse emissions of greenhouse gases.

Glyphosate in tap water

Tap water is secure

Is glyphosate mixed with tap water

Weekly Shincho reported that in April 2020 there would not be a standard value for glyphosate remaining in the tap water. It would only be the goal value. The value is greater than other pesticides and drinking water sources are contamination. グリホサート who I wrote an article that stated that there is. グリホサート 論文 There has been speculation that high concentrations could remain in tap water. This is not true.

First, glyphosate does NOT have a target or standard value. The reason for this is that tap water has not seen glyphosate concentrations exceeding 0.2ppm (which is one). A Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare survey found that the tap water in Japan does not contain glyphosate at levels exceeding 0.02ppm. There is no risk of detection.

In addition, the soil metabolizes the glyphosate in a manner of halving in two days. The same concentration will then be transfered to tap water and rivers, but will not be affected by pollution.

Japanese tap water is healthy

The tap water that is used in Japan is safe. It is safe to drink tap water in its current state. There are 51 requirements for inspection, and the water supply is controlled by strict quality standards. Water can be classified as "acidic" neutral, or alkaline depending on its pH. But, tap water in Japan must have a pH of near neutral (between 5.8 and 8.6). Iron can be a drinkable substance corrosion in the event that the water pipes around your house have been damaged.

How does tap water get made in the first beginning? Tap water is produced primarily from water sources , such as rivers and dam lakes. After water has been filtered and precipitated, it is cleaned with chlorine. The water that is produced in the purification plant is piped to every home.

Story of Japanese pesticide residue standards value

Japan's glyphosate standard value for wheat is now 5ppm. But it was at 5ppm prior to December 2017. グリホサート There are many opinions about this. グリホサート Some say "We loosened 30ppm by six times and despised any health harm."

Glyphosate in tap water

The residual value of glyphosate is the same as that of the international standard.

Truth is that we didn't change the standards. https://lovejapangardeningworld.com/%e6%96%b0%e7%b7%91%e3%81%ae%e5%ad%a3%e7%af%80%e3%81%ab%e3%81%b4%e3%81%a3%e3%81%9f%e3%82%8a%e3%81%ae%e3%81%8a%e3%81%a7%e3%81%8b%e3%81%91%e3%82%b9%e3%83%9d%e3%83%83%e3%83%88/ We modified it to reflect the international residual standard value. Japan imports huge quantities of wheat from South America and the United States. The importer, also known as the overseas producer, regulates the use of the glyphosate in the 30ppm range. But Japan's standard amount of glyphosate is 5ppm. If it exceeds the limit the import are banned. This will result in reduced supply of wheat and could cause Japanese food items being endangered. To ensure that we meet international standards, we have modified the standard values. The current standards do not pose any safety problems.

Do you need to understand glyphosate?

To prevent consumers from being affected emotionally by the debates about pesticide residues it is important that you have the correct knowledge. Experts have conducted research in the field of science. It is essential to be happy with your food choices and avoid getting distracted by the rumors.
