Notes

Is tapwater contaminated by herbicides such as glyphosate? Where do these unsubstantiated rumors originate?
What is what is a "glyphosate" herbicide?

グリホサート Glyphosate (ingredient known as "glyphosate Iopropylamine sal") is an herbicide that is used in farming and gardening throughout the globe, including Japan. It is absorbed by the leaf and stem greens and then moves towards the roots and eventually smothers the entire plant. It is non-selective and every plant will be killed when it is spraying their leaves. Pesticide companies often offer herbicides containing glyphosate after the patent period has expired. All glyphosate-based herbicides are verified and tested.

One of the attributes of glyphosate (glyphosate) is its "safety". This chemical is very low toxic to animals, and it inhibits the action of enzymes in plants. The chemical solution that is sprayed becomes food for microorganisms when it comes into contact with soil. It then is separated into water and carbon dioxide. This makes it unique because it contains no herbicidal components. It is recognized worldwide as a pesticide, which contributes to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Glyphosate in tap water

Tap water is safe

Does glyphosate get in tap water?

Weekly Shincho stated that there was no set value for glyphosate found in the tap water of Japan. The only value that is considered to be the target. https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AF%E3%83%A2%E3%83%88-%E8%91%89%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E5%90%B8%E5%8F%8E%E3%83%BB%E6%A0%B9%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A7%E6%9E%AF%E3%82%89%E3%81%99%E9%99%A4%E8%8D%89%E5%89%A4%E3%80%90%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AA%E3%83%9B%E3%82%B5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%80%91-%E9%9D%9E%E8%BE%B2%E8%80%95%E5%9C%B0%E7%94%A8/dp/B003FLADPS Additionally, the value is higher than other pesticides, and in other countries, and drinking water that is contaminated with pesticides. I wrote an article in which I stated that there is. This has led to concerns that tap water may have excessive levels of Glyphosate. This information is not accurate.

First , the reason why glyphosate isn't have a "standard value" but only a "target value" is because if the standard for draft water quality value (concentration that is safe even if you drink 2 L of tap water each day for the rest of your life) is glyphosate, 10 minutes of 2ppm. This is because a level that is higher than 0.2ppm (1) has not been found in tap water. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare There was never a case of glyphosate that was greater than 0.02ppm was discovered in Japan tap water. There is no risk of being detected.

Additionally, the sprayed glyphosate actually is degraded in soil in a manner that can be reduced by half in just two days. The same concentration can be transferred to tap water and rivers and is not harmful to the environment.

Japanese tapwater is uncontaminated

The tap water of Japan is considered as safe around the world. Tap water can be drank as is. There are 51 inspecting items that are provided with strict quality control as that is required by law. The difference in pH of water is what determines whether it is acidic, neutral or alkaline. Japan's water quality standards require tap water to be near neutral (5.8+ or 8.6+). There is a possibility that iron rust could be discovered within your pipes that supply water.

How does tap water get made in the first place? Tap water typically uses river and dam water as the primary source. After the water has been cleaned, chlorine is added to the purification facility in order to eliminate any impurities. The tap water is carried to every household via water pipes.

グリホサート The story of Japanese pesticide residue standard value

The current maximum value of glyphosate residue for wheat in Japan has been set at 5 ppm. It was 5 ppm as of December 2017. There are many opinions about this subject, such as "We reduced the limit to 30ppm six times , and deplored health damage."

Tap water glyphosate

The residual standard value of glyphosate is the same as the standard used in international law.

However, the truth of the matter is that we did adjust the standard in accordance with the international standard's residual standard value but not loosening it. Japan imports wheat in huge quantities, mostly from South America, Canada, the United States and South America. The importer, also known as the overseas producer, controls the use of glyphosate to a level of 30ppm. However, Japan's 5ppm standard value will cause all imports to be halted in the event that it is higher than the norm. This could cause a decrease in wheat supply and threaten Japanese food. グリホサート 稲 Therefore, we modified the standard value in order to conform to the international standard. Safety is still a concern even though the standards are current.

You must have a good understanding of the glyphosate

To avoid consumers being unnecessarily affected by emotional debates regarding pesticide residues, it is important to allow them to get the right information which has been gained through scientific research. It is important to be satisfied with your food choices and avoid getting distracted by gossip.
