Q62 What problem is the agricultural-chemicals contamination by import agricultural products? A It supposes by the amount of the agricultural chemicals used. For example, Japan is a nation with most amount of the agricultural chemicals used per unit area in the world. But, they have the principle which stops use of agricultural chemicals before two weeks of shipment. There is no guarantee from which this principle is protected certainly. But, there is capability which breathes out the toxin which entered the inside of the body in living thing. Therefore, a certain amount of agricultural chemicals are discharged for at least only two weeks. However, the agricultural chemicals which have adhered to the surface are not the limitation. When it says why import agricultural products are dangerous, it is because there is a problem at the time of transportation. As for the latest agricultural-products exporting country, the process in which agricultural products are made also uses agricultural chemicals for Japanese outshining. Since the thing which the agricultural-chemicals company in Japan sold is most, there is a place of the natural consequences of its own deed. But, since toxicity is strong in inside, even the agricultural chemicals which became use prohibition are contained in Japan. Developing countries' agricultural management organization applies a ring to Japan, and the present condition is irresponsible in many cases. The problem sets aside, and deterministically, a serious problem is that post-harvest agricultural chemicals are used, when exporting. This problem has been common sense among intelligent persons. But, generally it is known and is regrettable for twisting. But if this knowledge spreads, nobody will come to eat import agricultural products etc. Serious-ization will occur in the food situation in the world. For example, since Japan is an island country, the great portion of import food is carried by ship. But, goods value is lost if food deteriorates in the meantime. Then, an effort to maintain articles-of-trade value is made. Although it is desirable if it is made freezing, the cost will rise. Then, the medicine which prevents deterioration of food first will be given. An antiseptic is used in the first place. This is effective in suppressing breeding of bacteria or a virus. An antibiotic, sulfa drugs, etc. correspond to this. The antibacterial goods which are recently in fashion plaster the surface with sulfa drugs. Next, you have to prevent mold. Then, an anti-mold agent is used. Since effect changes with kinds of mold, this medicine will be sprinkled in some numbers. The next is the measure against a noxious insect. It does not pass by the insect having bred for food in quarantine. Then, various kinds of insecticides are sprinkled. The rat is attached to the ship. Then, a rat murder agent is used. But this will not be directly sprinkled by food. In what is used in these agricultural chemicals in order to exterminate a big individual, toxicity becomes strong. As a rat murder agent being special, an insecticide will have the strongest toxicity. In what kills a too big insect also in an insecticide, toxicity becomes strong. The toxicity of the aerosol for cockroaches will be stronger than a mosquito insecticide. Although it is not directly related to post-harvest agricultural chemicals, the weed killer also has powerful toxicity. Before especially gathering a harvest with a potato, a ground portion is killed with a weed killer. And the method of digging up is common. So, an unreasonable quantity of agricultural chemicals remain in the inside of a potato. And it is carefully , it processes with medicine so that a bud may not come out. Furthermore, radiation is showered. This way is performed regardless of the domestic product and the import thing. It is not necessary to say that an insecticide is a deadly poison. But, the toxicity of an anti-mold agent is also remarkable. Since the mold itself has toxicity, it is ticklish. Although an anti-mold agent is reluctantly used when mold grows in a human body, of course, it is powerful drug treatment. If it is not the patient of an unavoidable condition, a doctor will not prescribe it. However, in post-harvest agricultural chemicals, this is used like common sense. Since a smoke agent is cheap as a disinfectant, this method is used widely. It is certain that a smoke agent is also a thing detrimental to a human body. Import agricultural products are plastered thickly in such toxic high post-harvest agricultural chemicals. And in quarantine, it will pass in the state of a free pass. The maximum exporting country of import agricultural products is the United States. The dangerous agricultural chemicals which are forbidden at its own country . Till then, they have granted the permission to export just because they pursue profits. It is compulsorily forced on Japan etc. in the foreign country. It seems that a few had the consciousness whose Japanese government also defends national health at the beginning. They had taken the negative attitude to import of that. It will be that there was also pressure of the agricultural cooperative association. But they surrendered to U.S. extortion after all. They accept import of the poisoned agricultural products gradually.
