Hype Japan’s groundwater “110 times exceeding the standard”, party media collectively overturned | Fluoride | Carcinogen | Water Pollution

[NTD News June 30, 2021, Beijing time]A few days ago, the major party media of the Chinese Communist Party reported that the groundwater organic fluorine compounds in Osaka, Japan were “5500 ng per liter, 110 times the limit”, and there was hype on the Internet that “Japan has serious water pollution.” However, after someone pointed out that the fluoride standard for drinking water in China is 1 milligram (1 million nanograms) per liter, Chinese netizens rallied to criticize the party media for being partial and misleading public opinion.

On the morning of June 28th, Beijing time, China Economic Net published a report on “The organic fluoride in the groundwater of Osaka, Japan exceeded 110 times the standard”. Afterwards, major central-level party media including China News Network, CCTV News, and People’s Daily followed the report. The words “110 times exceeding the standard” in the title were particularly eye-catching.

According to a report from China News Network, 21 monitoring points in 12 prefectures in Japan have detected that the concentration of organic fluorine compounds in rivers or groundwater exceeds the provisional standard for water quality management, that is, 1 liter of water contains no more than 50 ng of organic fluorine. Compound. Among them, the groundwater of Osaka City with the highest concentration of organic fluorine compounds is 5500 ng per liter, which is 110 times higher than the standard.

That night, the self-media on the Chinese Internet also began to follow up, hyping “Japan’s water pollution is serious”, and even replaced the “organic fluoride” in the party media reports with “fluoride”, distorting the content of the report into “Japanese drinking water.” Source fluoride exceeds the standard”, “drinking water carcinogens seriously exceed the standard”.

This round of intensive public opinion bombing has made some “patriotic netizens” lament “China’s happy life”, but it has also aroused the resentment of other netizens. A large number of netizens created another large-scale “car overturning scene” in response to related reports.

Some netizens left a message: “I want to know how the water quality is in our country.”

Another netizen replied: “We only care about foreign countries.”

Another netizen quoted a report by Deutsche Welle in 2015 that more than 200 million people around the world drink water with excessive fluorine content, of which about 80 million occurred in China. By the end of 2013, there were 20.94 million patients with dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis in China. In addition to the problem of high-fluorine water, one-third of China’s major rivers and 60% of groundwater are polluted.

In addition, some netizens checked public information and found that in the official drinking water standards of the CCP, the fluoride content per liter requires no more than 1.0 mg, which means 1 million ng, which is approximately 182 times the concentration of organic fluorides in the groundwater in Osaka. .

Some netizens also pointed out that the fluoride content standards of drinking water and groundwater in Western countries, including Japan, are similar to those of the Chinese Communist Party. The party media deliberately avoided mentioning the fluoride content standards and only highlighted the organic fluoride content of groundwater in Japan. Exceeding standards is suspected of using partiality and misleading public opinion.

A netizen commented: “Looking up, the title is exaggerated and generalized. It is blind to see Taishan. It hits the taint directly. It is not as good as the rest. The position is big and the orientation is the highest. The poor people passively instilled these spam messages without thinking , There is no choice but to go with the flow and the point of view is supreme.”

The so-called organic fluoride is a type of fluoride compound containing carbon-fluorine bond (CF). Like inorganic fluoride, organic fluoride has different toxicity, some are non-toxic and some are highly toxic.

Regarding Japan’s so-called “tentative standard” of “50 nanograms of organic fluorine compounds in 1 liter of water”, the party media reports did not mention the source and the language is unknown. It is currently difficult to determine the specific reference.
