Notes

Are tap water sources contaminated by the herbicide glyphosate? From where do these unfounded reports come from?
What exactly is Gryphosate herbicide you might ask?

https://app.glosbe.com/profile/6995704020329303295 , also known as "glyphosate Isopropylamine Salt", is an herbicide widely used in the fields of agriculture and in garden across the globe. When it is sprayed, it absorbs the green parts of plants, including the stems and leaves. It then migrates into the roots and eventually kills the entire plant. Because it's classified as a "non-selective" herbicide, all plants die when the agent is applied to the leaf's surface. Pesticide companies usually offer herbicides containing glyphosate after the patent expires. Of course, all herbicides containing glyphosate on the market are reliable products that have passed rigorous inspection.

Glyphosate is a product with one of its most distinctive characteristics it's safety. It is because of it being able to block the action of enzymes found in plants (not present in animals) and is low in the degree of toxicity to animals. When the chemical solution is sprayed on soil, it becomes a food source for microorganisms. They are able to differentiate the solution into water, carbon, and oxygen. It is a renowned pesticide in the world that helps reduce greenhouse gasses because it permits no-tillage agriculture.

Glyphosate found in tap water

Is there glyphosate in tap water?

Weekly Shincho declared, April 2020: "In Japan there is no standard for glyphosate that is present in the tap water. The only value is the Target." The value is higher that other pesticides and countries as well as drinking water is contaminated. In an article, I said the presence of. There has been speculation that high concentrations could remain in tap water. This is a false statement.

The primary reason that glyphosate doesn't have an "standard value" but only an "target value" is that if the standard for draft water quality value (concentration that is safe even when you drink 2L of tap water each day for the rest of your life) is glyphosate, 10 minutes of 2 ppm. This is because a level of more than 0.2ppm (1) has never been observed in tap water. In fact, in an examination conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, there are no instances of glyphosate found in tap water in Japan with a concentration exceeding 0.02 ppm. There is no risk of detection.

Furthermore, the soil degrades the glyphosate at a rate that is halving over two days. ラウンドアップ of glyphosate is then transfered to tap water and rivers, and will not be contaminated.

Tap water in Japan is believed as safe. Tap water is safe to drink in its current state. There are 51 specific inspecting items that are provided with strict quality control as required by law. Water is classified as "acidic" neutral, or alkaline depending on its pH. However tap water in Japan must be near neutral (between 5.8 and 8.6). But, if ラウンドアップ that supply water inside or around your home have been damaged, there is still the possibility of drinking iron corrosion.

How does tap water get produced? Tap water mainly uses surface water like dam lakes and river water as raw water. Once https://peatix.com/user/14383805 has been cleaned, chlorine is injected into the purification facility to remove any impurities. This tap water is then carried to every household via water pipes.

A story about Japanese pesticide residue standard value

The current glyphosate residue limit for wheat is in Japan, 5 ppm. It was 5 ppm until December 2017. There are many opinions about this. Some say "We decreased the 30ppm limit by six times and despised any health harm."

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

The truth is that the international standard wasn't altered, but rather adjusted to the residual value of the international standard. Japan imports huge quantities of wheat from South America and the United States. The importer is also referred to as the overseas producer , regulates the use of glyphosate in accordance with the standard set by international standards of 30ppm. However, Japan's standard value of glyphosate is 5ppm. If it exceeds the value of the standard then all imports will be prohibited. If this happens, there'll be a disruption in bread wheat supply and Japanese food products could be at risk. To meet international standards, we've modified the standard values. Of course there's nothing to worry about regarding safety with the current standard values.

Do you require to understand glyphosate?

To prevent consumers from being unnecessarily swayed by emotional discussions regarding pesticide residues, it's important to gain the right knowledge that is based on research done by experts. It is equally important to enjoy your meals without getting distracted by gossip.
