〔編譯林翠儀、羅倩宜/綜合外電報導〕日本福島第一核電廠核災危機發生後,日本部分地區農產品陸續驗出輻射物質,世界衛生組織(WHO)二十一日表示,日本食品受輻射污染問題比預期的還要嚴重。對此,日本政府也在二十一日下令禁止福島等四縣的菠菜、油菜及福島牛乳出貨。亞洲鄰國也為之恐慌,紛紛加強查驗或暫緩進口日本食品。

世衛西太平洋辦公室發言人柯丁利二十一日接受透路訪問時表示,世衛初期研判輻射問題應僅限於福島核電廠二十到三十公里範圍內,但明顯可見,污染情況比原先預期的嚴重。

日本近日陸續從核災區附近數縣驗出葉菜類與牛乳輻射量超標情況,其中茨城縣古河各市生產的菠菜超過標準值二十七倍。日本政府的原子能災害對策總部二十一日依據「原子能災害特別對策法」,禁止福島、茨城、?木和群馬四縣的菠菜和油菜出貨,福島縣也被要求暫緩牛乳的出貨。至於被停止出貨農家的損失,官房長官枝野幸男表示,政府將負起責任要求東京電力公司賠償。

東京等九都縣 自來水也受污染

另外,上述四縣以外其他地區也有飲用水及農產品遭到輻射污染的狀況。飲用水部分,目前已知文部科學省進行的檢測中,在?木和東京檢測到放射性碘和銫,群馬、埼玉、千葉、神奈川、新潟檢測到放射性碘。福島和茨城在之前的自行調查中已檢測出輻射物質,全國共計在九都縣的自來水中檢測出放射性物質,但據稱均不會影響人體健康。

另一方面,厚生勞動省日前也在福島縣飯館村的自來水中驗出每公斤九六五貝克的放射性碘,為規定上限每公斤三百貝克的三倍。福島縣已要求飯館村民暫時不要飲用自來水。

另外,千葉縣旭市的山茼蒿二十一日也被驗出放射性碘超標一倍,旭市是千葉縣農產品主要出產地,盛產蘿蔔、高麗菜、小黃瓜和山茼蒿,該市三十項農產品正在檢測中,在二十二日全部檢驗結果出爐前已被要求暫停出貨。

南韓零售業暫停進口日本食品

儘管日本表示食品輻射尚不足以為害,不過亞洲鄰國已掀起一陣排拒日貨的恐慌反應。日本朝日啤酒原訂四月底推出十四款新的啤酒及軟性飲料,目前因輻射污染已暫緩;東洋水產也延後推出新款的咖哩口味杯麵。

南韓農林水產食品部二十一日表示,日本農漁產品的檢驗範圍將擴大至乾燥及加工食品,檢驗項目包括銫134、銫137及碘131,南韓各大零售業者也暫停進口日本食品;香港政府自三月十二日開始對日本食品全面檢驗,香格里拉亞洲旅館集團等飯店上週已全面暫停使用日本食材,週一香港東方文華酒店也跟進。

亞洲部分飯店停用日本生鮮食材

日本食品遭輻射污染,餐飲業也在尋求替代來源。例如亞洲地區的希爾頓酒店停止採用日本生鮮食材後,開始改向菲律賓、印尼、蘇格蘭及澳洲等國採購,其中尤以澳洲牛肉對日本和牛的替代性最高。

日本食品進口量遠大於出口,二○○九年食品進口總值達五三五億美元,出口僅三十二.七億美元,食品出口有七成是銷往香港、美國、中國、台灣及南韓,因此影響最大的仍為該國國內市場。以稻米為例,日本去年稻米產量八五○萬公噸,出口僅占二%。震災最嚴重的六個縣稻米產量約占全日本三成。

日本災區傳出失控!英國《衛報》報導,在宮城縣重災區石卷市,災民已忍受一個多星期沒有水、電、瓦斯的日子,有災民陷入飢餓恐懼,尖叫著搶食物,超市也出現竊賊闖入行竊,甚至傳出有婦女遭受性侵害,但是當地警方根本無暇管理,無法證實該消息。理髮師鈴木勝弘(音譯)就在回去收拾家園時,遇竊賊潛入將提款卡等偷走逃逸。鈴木說:「我對人的信任就像眼前的景物一樣,已破壞殆盡。」
