Notes

Is tapwater contaminated with herbicides like glyphosate? Where are these unsubstantiated rumors coming from?
What is a glyphosate-based herbicide? And how does it work?

Glyphosate (ingredient known as "glyphosate Iopropylamine Sal") is an herbicide used for cultivation and gardening in all parts of the world including Japan. It is absorbed by the greens of the stem and leaf before moving towards the root and finally dries out the whole plant. Because it's classified as a "non-selective" herbicide every plant dies when the herbicide is applied to the leaf's surface. Pesticide companies often offer herbicides containing glyphosate after the patent has expired. Of course, all herbicides containing glyphosate on the market are reliable products that have passed rigorous inspection.

Glyphosate's safety is one of its main features. It is low in toxicity to animals because of the mechanism of inhibition that blocks enzymes from being activated by plants. Additionally, when the sprayed chemical is in contact with soil, it transforms into the food source for microorganisms. It is a recognized pesticide in the world that aids in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions because it allows no-tillage agriculture.

Glyphosate in tap water

Tap water is safe

Does glyphosate mix with tap water

Weekly Shincho stated in April 2020 that "In Japan, there's no standard value left for glyphosate in tap water. There's only the target value." The value is greater than other pesticides and countries and drinking water sources are contamination. I wrote an article that stated that there is. グリホサート There are concerns that tap water may have the highest levels of Glyphosate. This information is not accurate.

First, glyphosate does NOT have a standard or target value. The reason is that tap water has not witnessed concentrations of glyphosate that exceed 0.2ppm (which is one). According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Japan has not seen any instances of glyphosate being detected within tap water. The truth is that there is no risk of being found.

Additionally, the sprayed glyphosate actually is degraded in soil at a rate that's reduced by half in just two days. The same concentration of glyphosate is transferred into waterways and rivers and will not be polluted.

Japanese tapwater is secure

Tap water in Japan is safe. It is safe to drink tap water in its natural state. There are 51 strictly inspected items, and they are supplied based on strict quality controls imposed by law. Water can be classified as "acidic" neutral or alkaline based on its pH. https://cbijapan.com/gmo/question/epa（米国環境保護庁）は、グリホサートの残留許/ グリホサート However the tap water that is used in Japan is required to have a pH that is close to neutral (between 5.8 and 8.6). However, if the water supply pipes in the vicinity of your home have been damaged, there is still the chance of drinking iron corrosion.

グリホサート How is tap water produced? Tap water is mostly made from river and dam water as its raw water source. After eliminating impurities via precipitation and filtering the water is then sterilized in water purification plants. The water produced is then delivered to every household through water pipes.

The story of Japanese standard value for pesticide residues

The current maximum value of glyphosate residue for wheat in Japan has been set at 5 ppm. However, it was only 5 ppm in December 2017. There are some opinions such as "We have increased that amount to 30ppm, which was a 6x increase and were adamant about the health effects."

グリホサート Glyphosate found in tap water

The glyphosate residual value is the exact same as the one used in international trade.

However, the truth is that we didn't reduce the standard, but adjusted it to the standard residual value of the international standard. Japan imports huge quantities of wheat from South America and the United States. The importer, or the overseas producer, is responsible for the use of the glyphosate at 30ppm. But Japan's 5ppm standard amount will trigger all imports to stop if it is higher than the standard. The supply of wheat could be affected and Japanese food could be at risk. To ensure that it is in line with international standards the value of standardization was rewritten. There is no safety issue using the current standard values.

Learn to comprehend the glyphosate chemical formula properly

To ensure that consumers are not affected emotionally by discussions about pesticide residues, it is crucial to have the correct knowledge. Experts have conducted research that is scientifically based. It is crucial to be content with your eating habits and avoid being influenced by the rumors.
