Notes

Are tap water sources contaminated by herbicides containing glyphosate? These unsubstantiated rumors are where they come from.
What exactly is an "glyphosate" herbicide?

Glyphosate (ingredient designation "glyphosateisopropylamine sodium") is an herbicide employed to eliminate pests in gardening and agriculture all over the world including Japan. Glyphosate gets absorbed from green partslike leaves and stems. Once sprayed the chemical is absorbed by the root, and then withers the entire plant. The herbicide is classified as non-selective because it kills all plants applied to leaf surfaces. Pesticide companies often sell glyphosate-based herbicides after the patent period has expired. ラウンドアップ containing glyphosate currently being sold are safe and have passed thorough testing.

One of the advantages of glyphosate (glyphosate) is its "safety". This chemical is extremely non-toxic to animals and inhibits the enzyme activity in plants. In addition, when the chemical solution comes in contact with soil, it is a source of food for microorganisms. It is then separated into water, carbon dioxide and so on., so it is also distinguished by the fact that there are no herbicide components are left. This is a pesticide that is that is widely used around the globe that helps to reduce greenhouse gases.

Glyphosate is a component of tapwater.

Tap water is safe to drink.

Is glyphosate added to tap water?

Weekly Shincho declared, April 2020: "In Japan there is no standard for glyphosate that remains in drinking water from the tap. ラウンドアップ is the Target." This value is also higher than other pesticides in other countries or drinking water that has been affected by pesticides. An article I wrote stated that it is. It was believed that concentrations of high levels could remain in tap water. However, this content is not true.

First, glyphosate has no "standard value" and is only a "target value". This is because the standard for draft water quality value (concentration that is safe even though you consume 2 L of tap water daily for a lifetime) was glyphosate, 10 minutes at 2 ppm. The reason is that tap water has not seen glyphosate concentrations exceeding 0.2ppm (which is one). According to a Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare study, Japan has not seen any instances of glyphosate present in tap water that has concentrations of more than 0.02ppm. The real reason is that there is no danger of being discovered.

Furthermore that, the glyphosate spray reduces the rate of soil degradation and decays in as little as two days. This means that it will be released into tap water and water sources at the same time and won't cause any harm.

Japanese tap water is safe

Tap water from Japan is considered to be safe. You can drink tap water in the current form. There are 51 specific inspecting items that are provided with the strict quality controls required by law. Based on https://www.asian-tapas.com/are-tapwaters-contaminated-by-herbicides-glyphosate-where-do-these-unsubstantiated-stories-come-from/ in pH, water can be classified as "acidic" or neutral" or "alkaline". However Japan's water quality standards stipulate that tap water should have a pH that is close to neutral (5.8 or higher and 8.6 or lower). There is still the possibility that iron rust could be discovered within your pipes that supply water.

How is tap water made in the first place? Tap water mostly uses dam and river water as its raw water source. After cleaning the water, chlorine is added to clean it. The tap water produced by the water purification plant is piped to every home.

The standard value for glyphosate residue for wheat in Japan is currently 5 ppm however, up to December 2017, it was 5ppm. There are some opinions such as "We have increased that amount to 30ppm, which was a 6x increase and resented the health harm."

Tap ラウンドアップ from the tap

The residual value of glyphosate is the exact same value as the international one.

Truth is that we didn't change the standard. We modified it to the international residual standard. Japan imports large quantities of wheat from South America, Canada, and the United States. The importer (the overseas producer) controls the quantity of glyphosate used at the standard of international standards (30ppm). However, Japan's 5ppm standard value will cause all imports to be stopped if it is higher than the standard. This could lead to an increase in the availability of wheat and could result in Japanese food being threatened. Therefore, https://www.highlandcountychamber.com/weed-control-with-glyphosate-herbicides-prior-to-summer-2/ have revised the standard value so that it is in line with international standards. Safety is still a concern even though the standard values are in use.

You need to be aware of the chemical glyphosate

It is important to have the right knowledge that is based on scientifically-sound research, to ensure that consumers aren't influenced by their feelings regarding pesticide residues. It is also important to enjoy food without being distracted or be distracted by gossip.
