台鹽放射線物質超標 高金素梅批「輻射鹽」

台鹽放射線物質超標 高金素梅批「輻射鹽」
2017-09-21 10:45聯合報 記者徐偉真╱即時報導

無黨團結聯盟立委高金素梅今天舉行記者會指出,台鹽的產品「健康鹽」竟含有超量的放射線物質鉀-40,根本就是「輻射鹽」,而且其他國家的鹽都沒有這個問題;公民電力公司發起人方儉說,台鹽的「健康減鈉鹽」1公斤含超過8000貝克,實在是「獨步全球」。

高金素梅說,我們的食安環境只能用「危機四伏」來形容,毒蛋的問題還沒解決,現在居然又有輻射鹽,根據原子能委員會輻射偵測中心的檢測發現,健康鹽中含有超量的放射線物質鉀-40,且台鹽在市面上販售的3款鹽放射性含量都破表,健康減鈉鹽含有8860貝克╱公斤,健康超鮮鹽和健康美味鹽都是5063貝克╱公斤,都應該立刻下架,賠償消費者,衛福部及原能會要立即封存鉀原料,向國人交代。

記者會上方儉將檢測輻射的儀器放到健康減鈉鹽上,機器立刻大響,方儉解釋,這代表被檢測物的放射性超過一般人的容許劑量,而輻射的強度和距離的平方成反比,當他把屏蔽物拿開時,檢測到的輻射量就增加,所以吃到體內距離變零,輻射可說是「無限大」,「簡直比北韓的氫彈還危險」。

方儉表示,鉀是一種元素,在環境中鉀-39占最多數,沒有放射線,鉀-40最少,但天然的鉀-40有放射線的很少,台鹽的鹽是特別製作出來的,是被提煉出來的,天然中不會有這種東西;核能學者賀立維,這可能是濃縮出來的。

高金素梅說,原能會只管建材,鉀-40含量不得超過1萬貝克,但這是體外1公尺以上的輻射,無法接受人體吃進超過8000貝克;她說目前針對她的質疑,台鹽說遵照食藥署法規,食藥署沒有管制鉀-40,並說是原能會的輻射防護業務,原能會又說這是食藥署的責任,彼此推託非常不負責,她認為應該盡速把輻射防護健康風險的管制權責交給衛福部。

Rotary partners with International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness

EVANSTON, IL (August 7, 2017) — About 80 percent of the world’s 285 million visually impaired people have treatable eye diseases, according to the World Health Organization. Rotary and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) aim to promote eye health to underserved communities.

Under the one-year partnership signed today by Rotary International General Secretary John Hewko and Vice President of IAPB Victoria Sheffield, Rotary clubs can partner with IAPB member agencies to provide access to continuous eye care and blindness prevention services such as eye exams, cataract screenings and treatment, and diabetic eye examinations and follow-up services.

“IAPB champions the belief that in the 21st century no one should have to live with avoidable blindness or sight loss,” said Rotary General Secretary John Hewko. “Rotary also sees global health as a core priority. With IAPB’s expertise, and the power of Rotary’s volunteer network, we will strengthen our ability to transform the lives of millions of people who live with a visual impairment.”

“The impact of blindness prevention efforts is lasting and has a palpable effect at the local level. This service partnership agreement will help eye care agencies and hospitals tie-up with local Rotary clubs to deliver positive, lasting eye care to local communities” noted Victoria Sheffield, CEO, International Eye Foundation and Vice-President, IAPB. “Eye care work will greatly benefit from the passion, energy, and support of Rotary members worldwide”.

IAPB’s mission is to eliminate the main causes of avoidable blindness and visual impairment by bringing together governments, non-governmental agencies, academic institutions, and the private sector to facilitate the planning, development, and implementation of sustainable eye care programs.

Rotary members develop sustainable projects that fight disease, promote peace, provide clean water, support education, save mothers and children, and grow local economies. The recent partnership will help clubs further their efforts to provide disease prevention and treatment and maternal and child health programs worldwide. Over the past three years, nearly a quarter of a million people benefited from Rotary’s interventions for disease prevention and maternal and child health, supported by almost $100 million awarded through its grants programs.

IAPB joins a list of Rotary service partners including, the Peace CorpsDollywood Foundation, the Global FoodBanking Network, and Youth Service America.
