Is the tap water contaminated with herbicides containing glyphosate? Where are these unsubstantiated reports originate?

What is Gryphosate herbicide you may ask?

Glyphosate (ingredient named “glyphosate Iopropylamine Sal”) is an herbicide used for farming and gardening across the globe which includes Japan. When it is sprayed, it absorbs the leaves and green areas of the plants, including the stems and leaves. Then, it moves into the roots and eventually kills the whole plant. The plants die when the herbicide has been applied to the leaves. Pesticide companies typically offer herbicides containing glyphosate after the patent expires. The herbicides that contain glyphosate have been tested and reliable.

Glyphosate, which is low toxicity to livestock due to a mechanism that inhibits enzymes in plants (not found in animals) is one of its attributes. Additionally, the chemical solution is able to be absorbed into the soil, and then become food for microorganisms. It can also be distinguished into carbon dioxide, water and other substances. This is a pesticide that is widely recognized around the world and helps in reducing greenhouse gases.

What effect does the chemical glyphosate on the water supply?

Weekly Shincho reported that in April 2020, there would not be a standard value for the chemical glyphosate in water that is filtered. It will be the value that is targeted. The value is greater than other pesticides as well as drinking water is contaminated. グリホサート I posted an article saying that there was. There are fears that tap water could contain the highest levels of Glyphosate. However, this content isn’t true.

グリホサート The first is that glyphosate doesn’t have a “standard value” however it has a “target value”. グリホサート This is due to the fact that the draft water quality standards value (concentration that is safe though you consume 2 L of tap water per day for the rest of your life) was glyphosate for 10 minutes at 2 ppm. Tap water has never experienced an amount of more than 0.2ppm (1). According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Japan has never seen any cases of glyphosate being detected in tap water. There is no chance of detection.

In addition, the soil metabolizes the glyphosate at a rate of halving within two days. The glyphosate will then be absorbed into tap water and water sources at the same time and won’t cause any harm.

Japanese tap water can be safe

The tap water that is used in Japan is safe. It is safe to drink tap water as is. There are 51 items of inspection to be completed prior to the sale of tap water. They are under strict quality control as mandated by law. グリホサート who Water is classified into “acidic”, “neutral” and “alkaline” according to the difference in pH, but the tap water of Japan is defined by the water quality standard to ensure that the pH is near neutral (5.8 or greater and 8.6 or less). You can still drink iron rust if the water pipes that surround your house have been damaged.

How is tap water made? Tap water mostly uses dam and river water as its raw water source. After purifying the water by adding chlorine, it is then added to make it more sterile. The tap water produced by the purification plant is then piped to homes.

Story of Japanese Pesticide Remains Standards

The standard value for glyphosate residue for wheat in Japan is 5 ppm at present however, up to December 2017, it was 5ppm. There are many opinions about this. Some say “We loosened 30ppm by six times and despised any health harm.”

Tap water glyphosate

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

The truth of the issue is that we actually adjusted the standard in accordance with the global standard’s residual value and not loosening it. Japan imports wheat in large amounts from the United States, Canada and South America. The importer is also referred to as the overseas producer controls the use of glyphosate in accordance with the standard set by international standards of 30ppm. The standard Japanese value is 5ppm. Imports that go over the limit will be snubbed. If this happens, the production of wheat could be hindered and Japanese food may be threatened. This is why we have updated the standard value to conform to the international standard. The current values don’t pose any safety issues.

Understand glyphosate properly

To ensure that consumers are not influenced from emotional discussions concerning pesticide residues, it is important that they are able to get the right information that has been gathered through research conducted by scientists. It is equally important not to let gossip detract from your healthy eating habits.
