The old chimney built of red bricks is located on the campus of Pullman Hanoi Hotel. Photo: Qinghai Location of Pullman Hanoi hotel, formerly Tam Tile Factory or La Tuilerie Tonkinoise. The factory is equipped with presses to produce bricks and tiles; there are two chimneys 50m high, built according to European standards to draw air into the double tunnels of the kiln, each 100m long. The factory was built by Mr. Nguyen Van Giem, also known as Nam Giem. During its heyday, more than 600 workers worked here. The factory was shut down during World War II and reopened in 1956, and later became a state-owned enterprise.
Entering the renovation period, the factory and land were invested with foreign FDI capital to build one of the first five-star hotels in Hanoi but still retain a chimney. In the project of building the hotel, the designers once intended to destroy both chimneys of the brick factory. Fortunately, in the end, “historical evidence” was kept to decorate the hotel due to the demolition party, after the demolition of the first one, the price was too high for the other. Perhaps this is also a “destiny”, not a human effort.
Today, the more than hundred-year-old chimney looks so small and simple compared to the majestic buildings or the splendor and prosperity of Hanoi Capital. However, this evidence has contributed greatly to making Pullman Hanoi Hotel well known to many people, especially for those who love Hanoi and want to keep the old beauty in the heart of the city, which contains both cultural and cultural elements. history in the same space.
Priceless Values
There is a man named Martin Rama who fights tirelessly for the preservation of ancient Hanoi. He has a photo book “Hanoi a roaming place” taken and written by him, while implementing the project “Sustainable Urban Development in Hanoi – Sustainable Development of Hanoi Capital” initiated and chaired by him. The project aims to advise the city on how to develop the new and preserve the old. Anyone who loves Hanoi like Martin loves how to keep the beauty of Asia mixed with French architecture, the look of Russian onions, ancient China and a little bit of the wet rice civilization rising low and high, in the heart. City…
Today, Hanoi in particular and Asian cities in general have made rapid development steps, many commercial centers have been built but still lack a high-class commercial center that can combine shopping. with cultural and historical elements in the same space. In London (UK) has a Covent Garden, San Francisco (USA) has a beautiful Ghirardelli area.
Many investors find demolishing old houses and building new ones as the cheapest way and according to the wishes of people with money. But the cultural values ​​hidden in each brick or wall with hundreds of years old cannot be calculated in money. According to Martin Rama, an important principle that needs special attention is to prioritize in-situ resettlement for the original residents of Hanoi. He said that Hanoi is inherently attractive and unique not only because of its uniqueness in architecture and landscape… but also by its residents. Every Hanoian is already a cultural entity with great attraction, this value cannot be calculated in money…
Returning to Pullman Hanoi and its durable old chimney, I secretly wish, if only investors were like this hotel owner, understanding what cultural and historical elements are in the same space to be next to. The construction of the new building still preserves some of the old features. Currently, the Cat Linh underground station of the Nhon UMRT line – Hanoi station, with an entrance next to the Pullman hotel on Cat Linh street is under construction and gradually formed. We, the people of the Capital and tourists can completely go to Pullman by French-style subway and hope that 100 years later, there is still a historic chimney.
With another UMRT project, Line 2, section Nam Thang Long – Tran Hung Dao, international visitors can go directly from Noi Bai airport to Hoan Kiem lake, connecting from the modern place to the “sacred and sacred” place. pompous”. On that UMRT line, there is underground station C9 (Hoan Kiem station) which will be a link between the past – present – future, contributing to the construction of the capital of a thousand years of civilization, bright – green – clean – beautiful… The construction The metro station in Hoan Kiem Lake area not only develops transportation infrastructure, contributing to socio-economic development, it is also a way to bring tourists from all over the world to the heart of the capital. do, is the current hyphen with the thousand-year cultural values ​​of Thang Long – Dong Do – Hanoi. The story of the chimney column that survives the construction of a monumental structure is a good example of the success of an approach that respects the past. The capital of Hanoi has thousands of years of civilization, through a long history we have countless stories like that, the heritages carry with them layers of cultural and historical sediments that need to be enhanced and brought to life. new colors over time.

The bus took mother and daughter, pregnant woman T, back to her hometown. This woman is patient 3,961 (named HTKT, 20 years old; from Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang province), who was transferred to the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases 2 from May 17 when she was 35 weeks pregnant. . After a period of follow-up and treatment, on the morning of June 9, the pregnant woman with HTKT went into labor when the pregnancy turned 38. The hospital’s team successfully delivered the baby T, welcomed a baby girl born. healthy with a weight of 2.2kg. Currently, this woman has been treated for 14 days and has tested negative 3 times. In addition, the daughter of the F1 dependent mother has also been isolated for 7 days and has tested negative 3 times. Therefore, both mother and child are eligible for hospital discharge as prescribed. After returning to the locality, the mother and daughter will continue to isolate and monitor their health at home. Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Dung, nurse at the Pediatrics Department (National Hospital for Tropical Diseases) – who directly takes care of pregnant women, said: “Since the birth of mother T’s daughter, me and another colleague have been I was assigned to take care of the child. Thief, he was very obedient. In the last two days, he ate and slept during the day, but at night he was disturbed. Therefore, we had to take turns holding him. However, he ate. drink well and have stable health. To this day, I’m much stronger …”. To ensure the safety of mother and child, the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases arranged a bus and sent a nurse to take the mother and daughter back to her hometown. In addition to the above two cases, on June 15, there were 4 other patients being treated for Covid-19 at the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases 2, who had 2 or more negative tests, were discharged and returned to their places of residence. stay at home and continue to isolate and monitor for 14 days.

Previously, on May 17, the patient was transferred for treatment at the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases after testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. At that time, T. was pregnant at 35 weeks. On June 9, the patient successfully gave birth to a baby girl weighing 2.2 kg at 38 weeks of gestation. After giving birth, the woman was transferred to the Hepatitis Department for further Covid-19 treatment. After giving birth, the baby was cared for and nurtured by 2 nurses from the Pediatric Department to avoid infection from the mother. After 14 days of treatment, T. had 3 times tested negative for SARS-CoV-2. T.’s daughter is in the F1 category, has been isolated for 7 days and has also tested negative 3 times. Therefore, both mother and child are eligible to be discharged from the hospital according to regulations. After returning to the locality, they will continue to isolate and monitor their health at home. To ensure the safety of mother and child, the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases arranged a car and sent a nurse to take them home after nearly a month away from home. The daughter of pregnant woman T. is taken care of by medical staff in a separate area to avoid contracting the virus from her mother. Photo: BVCC. Pediatrician nurse Nguyen Thi Phuong Dung, who directly took care of the baby, said: “Since the baby was born, me and a colleague have been assigned to take care of the baby. Thief, the baby is very good. The last two days. Here, during the day, he eats and sleeps, but at night he is disturbed. That’s why we have to take turns holding him. However, he eats well and is in stable health. To this day, he is hard. cable a lot”. In addition to the above 2 cases, on June 15, 4 other patients being treated for Covid-19 at the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases had 2 or more negative times. They were also discharged from the hospital and returned to their place of residence, continuing to isolate and monitor for 14 days at home.

Dr. Leonard Perry, from the University of Vermont (USA), said that using the right plants can reduce the temperature in a room by up to 10 degrees Celsius. In addition, houseplants help maintain humidity from 30% – 60%, while helping to prevent wooden furniture from cracking when the weather is too dry. When it is sunny, hot and polluted, growing indoor plants is a good solution that is recommended. There are many types of plants that are likened to natural coolers to help cool down and filter the air. These plants like low light, easy care and less deciduous (not unhygienic) very suitable for indoor. In particular, these are all meaningful plants in terms of feng shui, bringing good luck to the owner Aloe vera: This is a fairly familiar houseplant. Besides the familiar effect of soothing sunburn, this succulent plant also has the ability to cool the house and remove formaldehyde from the air. Ornamental plants: They are known as decorative plants and natural air fresheners. In addition, ornamental plants also help reduce the temperature in the room, remove benzene, formaldehyde and trichlorethylene from the air. Fern: This plant not only cools and humidifies the air, but can also remove formaldehyde. In fact, scientists at the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) consider ferns to be one of the most efficient “air purifiers”. In addition to cleaning the air in the room, it also controls the temperature. Tiger tree: The tree releases oxygen at night, keeping the air cool as well as absorbing a large amount of toxins in your home. With the ability to generate O2 and absorb CO2 of this plant, the bedroom space will become clean and cool. Betel nut: This plant is especially suitable for rooms with frequent air conditioning, thanks to its ability to absorb toxic gases characteristic of this plant. Van Nien Thanh is a bio-regulatory machine, thanks to its ability to absorb carbon dioxide and return O2 to the environment. Red banyan tree: Able to provide O2 for a really cool atmosphere. In addition, the tree has the ability to absorb dust and toxic gases in the air such as carbon monoxide … and also absorb toxic substances in cigarette smoke. Trees of life: Trees have the effect of cleaning the air, absorbing dust, absorbing toxic gases that pollute the environment such as formaldehyde, carbon dioxide… Spider plant: The tree can purify harmful substances such as: Xylene, Carbon, Formaldehyde, Benzene. At the same time, according to NASA, this plant is also capable of absorbing more radiation systems, especially those coming from electronic devices. Moreover, the ability of the tree to absorb CO2 is also highly appreciated and is on the list of good poisonous plants.

Therefore, in order to control plastic waste, Ho Chi Minh City has launched a plan to strengthen the management, reuse, recycling, treatment and reduction of plastic waste in HCMC. Prioritize recycling of plastic waste One of the solutions to reduce plastic waste is to organize the classification, collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of plastic waste. Accordingly, Ho Chi Minh City will promote the classification of domestic solid waste at source in accordance with the direction and direction of the City People’s Committee. It also encourages the separation of waste at source for plastic waste separately from other types of waste. Thereby, helping to make reuse and recycling activities more profitable and economic. HCMC will promote the separation of domestic solid waste at source. Photo: CN In addition, Ho Chi Minh City encourages the classification of plastic waste mixed in domestic solid waste at transfer stations, or domestic solid waste treatment plants and prioritizes transferring plastic waste to recycling units. use, recycle function. In case plastic waste is no longer able to be reused or recycled, other appropriate and effective treatment solutions should be implemented. Ho Chi Minh City will also organize the implementation of technical solutions or movements and campaigns to collect solid waste, plastic waste in public places, vacant land, rivers, canals, canals… in the area. . In addition, mechanisms and policies will be developed to encourage, give incentives and support to organizations and individuals that collect, reuse and recycle plastic waste and for production facilities. recycled, environmentally friendly products to replace difficult-to-biodegrade plastic packaging and disposable plastic products, etc. Minimize the use of non-biodegradable packaging The habit of using single-use plastic and nylon bags may bring convenience to people, but it is a big polluter for the environment. Therefore, one of the plans of Ho Chi Minh City is to minimize and proceed to not use non-biodegradable plastic packaging, single-use plastic products in all daily activities of administrative agencies. the state, non-business units, unions, schools, medical facilities, people… in the city. In addition, the city will review and assess the current status of plastic waste generated in the area, thereby proposing appropriate and effective solutions in managing and minimizing plastic waste in the area. The city will also continue to mobilize and urge the system of supermarkets, trade centers, convenience stores, people’s markets … in the area to strive to fulfill the targets set by the city. Specifically, the system of supermarkets, commercial centers, markets, convenience stores, bookstores, etc. have forms of encouraging consumers to bring bags when shopping, limiting or not giving free plastic bags. for consumers. Towards charging for bags and packaging of goods for consumers who need to use them when they do not bring bags when shopping… Convenience stores, food stores… have a discount policy, accumulate points for customers who bring products to store, store goods, food, drinks… Strengthening handling of the act of dumping plastic waste in public places Ho Chi Minh City will inspect and handle violations of environmental hygiene, indiscriminately disposing of waste and plastic waste in public places in the area according to regulations. At the same time, inspect and handle violations of environmental protection lease, value-added tax, corporate income tax… in the activities of importing, manufacturing, distributing, and trading in packaging. non-biodegradable plastic and disposable plastic products, recycled products, environmentally friendly and activities to reuse and recycle plastic waste in the city.

nguyenthu@yahoo.com Small sweat glands are distributed throughout the body, responsible for eliminating waste products, excreting 99% water and 0.5% salt. The large sweat gland located in the subcutaneous layer, will open in the pores, this gland is only distributed in the armpits, vulva and eyebrows, excreting quite thick liquid, containing lipids, proteins and iron. When armpit hair grows a lot, sweat, especially in the hot season, creates conditions for bacteria to grow. To clean the armpit area, the optimal way is to remove armpit hair for both men and women. If you have to choose between using tweezers and a razor, using a razor to remove armpit hair is better than using tweezers because it’s safer. Because in fact, for hair follicles to pop out of the armpit area with tweezers, even though there is no pain, the hair follicle is easily injured. This is the reason many women come to the hospital in a state of painful lumps in hair follicles due to trauma when plucking hair, active bacteria. In people with poor immunity, bacteria have more conditions to grow, creating large pores, causing darkening of the skin in this area, inflammation, inflammation of the sweat glands leading to underarm odor. Using a razor is faster than using tweezers, does not cause pain, but this way makes the hair grow back faster, more abundant and harder. In addition, with the razor method, great care must be taken to avoid leaving scratches when shaving. If there are scratches, it will be an ideal condition for bacteria to work. To prevent increased sweating in the armpits in the summer, it is necessary to regularly bathe, use deodorant products, and clean armpit hair. If you do enough measures but the armpit area still has an unpleasant odor, you should go to the hospital to have a doctor prescribe an effective method to cure excessive sweating.

Monarch’s electric plow. Photo: CNN CNN channel (USA) said that the plow was programmed to perform the tasks of digging trenches and reaping and harvesting. Manufacturer Monarch says this electric plow can work for 10 consecutive hours after 5 hours of charging. Although there is no operator, but based on US regulations, the plow is designed to be operated remotely. Thus, the operator can remotely command the plow to stop working when necessary. The plow is also equipped with sensors to avoid collisions with livestock and works automatically next to farmers. Monarch claims that when these electric plows come to market, they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year, equivalent to the emissions of 14 gasoline-powered cars. In addition, this electric plow has the ability to collect data during operation, helping to provide information about crops and support for farmers to promptly handle arising problems such as lack of irrigation water. … Below is a video simulating the operation of the plow published by Monarch: Monarch expects to sell the first plow in the next two months to farmers in California, Washington and Oregon for an expected price of $50,000. These farmers will work with Monarch to perfect the electric device. Monarch expects to mass produce electric plows by the end of this year. According to Monarch, the electric plow can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in fuel and labor.

Cows and other ruminants use microbes in their stomachs to break down tough fibers that cannot be digested by humans. Artwork: AFP. Accordingly, one of the largest dairy producers in the world, the Fonterra Cooperative Group, is using a cocktail branded “Kowbucha”, a well-known kombucha fermented drink, to see if it can reduce the anesthetic gas. -tane produced from 4.9 million New Zealand cows. Unlike most developed economies, New Zealand is heavily dependent on agriculture, especially cows and sheep. So while other countries focus on cutting carbon dioxide, New Zealand has a much bigger problem with gases produced in animal stomachs. “The ferment produced can have quite a large impact on digestion, not just in humans, but also in animals,” said Jeremy Hill, a scientific researcher at the Fonterra Cooperative Group. Kowbucha is one of the company’s options, and the company is also looking at other options including seaweed. The technology is still in the early stages of research and, like other potential solutions to treat methane emissions from cows, questions about how to implement it are and whether the farmer will have enough. affordability or not. But what matters for New Zealand is whether it reaches zero net emissions. Methane, made up of carbon and hydrogen, is 56 times more effective than the effects of CO2 to heat the Earth when measured over 20 years. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that global methane levels need to be reduced by 40-45% by 2030 to be able to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. . What’s more, because methane has been in the atmosphere for only a decade, reducing it can yield a relatively quick victory over CO2, which has been around for centuries. The Global Methane Assessment, to be released next week, shows that curbing man-made methane emissions at 45% by 2030 will drop by almost 0.3 degrees Celsius. global warming in the 2040s, preventing more than a quarter of a million premature deaths. But the scientific approach to reducing the emissions from cow digestion is much more difficult than to limit other methane emissions, such as oil and gas field outbreaks or leaks from fields. bury. Cows and other ruminants use microbes in their stomachs to break down tough fibers that cannot be digested by humans. Therefore, suppressing the methane they generate requires adjusting the biology and physiology of the animal. Like the Kowbucha solution, Fonterra is working on using red seaweed to suppress bacteria. The company partnered with the Dutch Royal DSM NV Nutrition Company to accelerate the rollout of Bovaer, a synthetic feed supplement that has been shown to reduce methane emissions by about 30%. The company, which has an annual $ 72 million research budget, has also researched the development of “climate-smart” cows whose stomachs release less methane, as well as research to develop vaccines. But producing climate-friendly cows takes years and vaccine development is “very, very difficult,” Hill said. Seaweeds, which have attracted a lot of attention in recent years, are difficult to eat in grassland animals, species that do not like the taste and may have safety problems with substances such as bromoform, A toxic chemical found in small amounts in ocean plants. Dairy companies are under increasing consumer pressure to reduce livestock carbon emissions, according to Dan Blaustein-Rejto, director of agriculture and food at Breakthrough Institute, an environmental research organization. Creating more climate-friendly products could allow them to gain an edge and could help fight competition from a growing number of alternatives, such as oatmilk, sandwiches. Vegan meats and other plant-based alternatives. If successful, the New Zealand efforts could serve as a test case for the global livestock industry, especially countries like Ireland and Brazil that rely on ruminants for a share of export revenue. . But the Climate Change Commission says technologies under development cannot be considered to meet the interim goal. Harry Clark, commissioner of the Climate Change Commission, said: “The silver bullet (referring to the easy, quick-PV solution) for dairy technology has only been taken into account for the past 12 years. It hasn’t worked yet. “

Treated contaminated wastewater tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Photo: AFP / VNA Mr. Aso ensures that wastewater discharged into the sea will be treated according to the plan announced by the Government, whereby the concentration of radioactive tritium in wastewater will be diluted to 1,500 becquerel / liter, equivalent to 1/40 of the permitted concentrations are according to Japanese safety standards and 1/7 of the World Health Organization (WHO) standards for drinking water, before being released into the sea. The discharge of this wastewater into the sea will be implemented in about 2 years. After the 2011 disaster, water pumped into the damaged reactors at the No. 1 Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant to cool the fuel rods. Along with contaminated rainwater and groundwater, the reactor’s cooling wastewater is treated with an Advanced Liquid Treatment System (ALPS). ALPS removes most radioactive substances, including strontium and cesium, but cannot remove tritium. At the present time, there are more than 1.25 million tons of wastewater that has been treated but still contains radioactive substances being stored in storage tanks at the plant. On April 13, more than 10 years after the factory incident, the Japanese government decided to discharge this wastewater into the sea. The IAEA expressed support for Japan’s decision to discharge treated wastewater into the sea, and affirmed its readiness to provide technical assistance in monitoring this discharge. Before the Japanese decision, the Russian Foreign Ministry on April 15 expressed concern about this issue, at the same time urged Japan to approach the issue of wastewater treatment from the Fukushima nuclear power plant with all responsibility. responsibility. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova expressed her expectation that the Japanese government would show transparency and inform all countries concerned about Tokyo’s actions. In addition, Ms. Zakharova added that Russia is waiting for Japan to have more detailed explanations, while calling on Tokyo not to make economic activities of other countries difficult, including in the fishing industry. fish. On the same day, Chinese Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Wu Jiang Hao (Wu Jianghao) summoned the Japanese Ambassador to the country Tarumi Hideo to present a note protesting the decision to discharge treated radioactive wastewater into the sea. Stored at the No. 1 Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Photo: INA FASSBENDER | AFP | Getty Images Policymakers are under increasing pressure to fulfill the commitments of the Paris Agreement ahead of COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, November 2021. Politicians and businessmen acknowledge the need to transition to a low-carbon society, but slowing global warming and meeting global goals of reducing emissions is increasingly so difficult. According to the director of the International Center for Environmental Law Carroll Muffett, the energy transition is going too slowly from a climate change perspective, but most importantly the acknowledgment of the problem is mainly willpower. political and economic options. World leaders and business sectors repeatedly reiterate their commitment to “transform the energy”. Nearly 200 countries have ratified the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, unanimously pursuing efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This continues to be the main focus of COP26, albeit one Some climate change scientists say that now this goal has been “unattainable”. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) thinks that between 2030 and 2052, the global temperature will get 1.5 degrees C hotter; To reduce global warming, it is necessary to reduce carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 from 2010 levels, before reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The problem is not that there is no technology or the ability to transform, or economic choice, but the structure of power and support for an industry that will decline. The emissions balancing strategies of some Governments and companies still depend on the increasing use of fossil fuels in the “coming decades”. According to Carroll Muffett, this reality can be seen in US policy, particularly in the plan to invest heavily in carbon capture and capture. The road is bumpy ahead . According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Earth’s carbon level is higher than at any time in the past 3.6 million years; If the worst effects of climate change are to be mitigated, it is important to focus on reducing fossil fuel emissions and studying how to prevent greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal releases large amounts of carbon into the air. Fossil fuel emissions and industry accounted for 89% of global emissions in 2018, the IPCC says. The US Energy Information Administration projects that global carbon emissions from fuel sources will continue to increase over the coming decades. According to energy finance analyst Clark William Derry, the current “energy transition” process is like the “transition of energy systems from the 19th century to the 21st century”; transition is taking place but it is not clear whether it is fast enough to prevent the worst consequences of climate change, fast enough to improve air quality in cities in developing countries such as in India, China, Bangladesh, Vietnam as well as some other countries; The road ahead is very bumpy. Is the current essential issue . The IPCC Intergovernmental Group notes that the transition from fossil fuels is underway and will require “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented” changes in all aspects of the commune. festival. However, the February 2021 United Nations report showed that countries’ commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions was “far from” compared to the far-reaching measures needed to avoid the dire consequences of Climate Change. Currently only 75/195 countries have signed the Paris Agreement on climate change, submitting the National Contribution Plan (NDC) on emissions reductions to 2030. USA, China and India, are emissions countries. The world’s largest has yet to release its own NDC. United Nations Executive Secretary on Climate Change Patricia Espinosa urged policymakers to “accelerate” ambitious plans to cut emissions by 2021, emphasizing it as “crucial. ” The current./.

Director of Hai Duong Hospital for Tropical Diseases Nguyen Van Hai handed the decision to discharge a patient 2414. Photo: Hai Duong Newspaper

This is the last patient with COVID-19 being treated at medical facilities of Hai Duong province who recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

The patient entered the field hospital No. 2-Hospital of Hai Duong University of Medical Technology for treatment from February 25. After the field hospital was dissolved, the patient was transferred to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases of Hai Duong province from March 28. Up to now, after 3 negative tests (April 11, 14 and 16), the patient was declared cured and discharged, and went home to be isolated for 21 days under the supervision of the local authorities. method and continue to be tested according to regulations.

According to Dr. Nguyen The Anh, Deputy Director of Hai Duong Hospital for Tropical Diseases, the patient is elderly (62 years old) and has a background disease of type II diabetes, so the treatment time lasts 51 days.

After the patient was discharged from the hospital, in Hai Duong province, there were no longer patients with COVID-19.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Vietnam until now, Hai Duong Hospital for Tropical Diseases has received and cured 55 cases, of which 31 were hospitalized from January 27, 2021. , at the time of the 3rd outbreak of COVID-19 in Hai Duong.

According to the Center for Disease Control of Hai Duong province, there are no longer COVID-19 patients in the province and need to be treated at medical facilities. All cases F1, F2 have completed quarantine, no more cases need to be isolated at home or in the residence. From the beginning of the year until now, Hai Duong province authorities have collected 746,104 samples to test for SARS-CoV-2.

Mr. Zhao also emphasized that “the ocean is not the trash of Japan”. The same message he posted on Twitter personally.

Zhao’s statement came after the Japanese government approved a project to discharge 1.25 million tons of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea.

Earlier, on April 13, Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso said in a press conference that “there will be no harm” when drinking treated water, and he said that Japan should drain water sooner. .

Foreign Ministry spokesman Trieu Lap Kien. Photo: Twitter.

The Chinese spokesman also mentioned Minamata disease, saying Japan “should not forget the historic tragedy” and urged Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga not to discharge wastewater into the sea without the consent of other countries.

Miamata disease is a neurological disease that has killed nearly 2,000 Japanese people, and is caused by a Japanese company discharging methyl mercury waste into the environment.

According to the plan, Japan will discharge wastewater into the sea within the next two years. The government said wastewater was treated and diluted to meet World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standards. However, treatment cannot remove tritium – a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.

Although Japan’s decision to discharge wastewater was approved by the United States and the IAEA, it faced opposition from the country’s fishing industry and neighboring countries. The Chinese spokesperson stated that Japan must reach a consensus of all concerned before proceeding with the discharge.

Mr. Zhao also warned: “China has the right to make follow-up reactions.”

According to the Tokyo Shimbun, the Japan Revival Agency(A government agency established in Japan for post-disaster reconstruction after the 311 earthquake)A leaflet was produced and released on the 13th to explain the safety of the radioactive tritium contained in the water processed by the Tokyo Electric Power Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.In the leaflet, “Radioactive Tritium” was drawn as a cute “mascot” image.

The leaflet states that tritium exists in rainwater, seawater, tap water, and human bodies; it also explains that tritium does not accumulate in humans, but is discharged with water, or its concentration is greatly reduced when it is discharged into the ocean. The concentration of tritium in the water will be basically the same as that of tap water.

The person in charge of the Renaissance Office said,The reason for choosing this way to express is because it is very “approachable”, “it is neither’good’ nor’evil’, but takes its middle meaning.”

It is reported that in addition to publishing this leaflet on the homepage of the Department of Reconstruction with the same content video, it will also be considered for distribution in the surrounding area of ​​the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

Mascots are indeed very common in Japan,Sure enough, some Japanese netizens shouted: So cute, tritium sauce…

However, many netizens said they were speechless and felt that the Japanese government’s approach was staggering.

“The Renaissance Hall made a so-called’mascot’ for radioactive tritium. This is really astounding. But the point is that this wave of operations misled people to believe that nuclear waste water contains only radioactive tritium, and it has become an established fact. This is even more astounding. The Liberal Democratic Party government claimed to be’treated water’, but even after treatment, the strontium 90 in the nuclear waste water exceeded the standard.”

Some painters modified the image of “Tritium Sauce”:

“The Fuxing Hall made a “radioactive tritium” mascot, and I further personified it. The focus is on the emptiness of the eyes.”(Xiaotong: This is very much like a kappa suffering from being immersed in polluted water)

Some netizens made suggestions:

“Please change to Yoshihide Suga’s face.”

To tell the truth, even in neon, which can germinate everything, it’s really not appropriate for the Japanese government to germinate harmful things and make ambiguous popular science propaganda…

According to research published in Nature, fishing operations emit about 1 billion tons of CO2 emissions per year – higher than those emitted by aviation (before the COVID pandemic – 19 ).

Industrial fishing, in particular the method of pulling nets along the seabed, not only contributes to climate change becoming more serious, but also greatly damages biodiversity. positive.

“This activity is the equivalent of plowing an old forest, repeating until there is nothing left,” report author Enric Sala, a marine biologist, points out.

Industrial fishing is also one of the least expensive fishing methods. Researcher Sala also said that most of the hunting grounds have been repeatedly caught, leaving little value left to catch.

Mr. Eric Sala is looking at possible dynamics that could cause the fishing industry and governments to abandon netting methods and hope the findings on the carbon footprint could be just a wake-up call.

The study of Mr. Sala et al. Breaks down the entire ocean into 50 square km units, measuring the extent to which each unit contributes to global marine biodiversity, fish stocks and climate protection, based on a complex analysis of the location, water temperature, salinity and distribution of species, among other factors.

At the same time, this study also monitors the amount of CO2 emissions each unit is capable of absorbing.

By mapping baselines for each previously divided unit, research can calculate the effects of an increase or decrease in fishing and other human activities.

The overall goal is to develop a map of ocean locations that, if protected, would be of maximum benefit to humans in increasing fish stocks, biodiversity and carbon sequestration while minimizing losses. income harm to the fishing industry.

Dismissing the long-held view that protecting oceans harm fisheries, research shows that marine protected areas designed to prevent overfishing will actually boost marine life. by acting as fish nurseries.

According to the study results, ocean protection could increase global fisheries production by more than 8 million tons per year, despite the challenges of overfishing and climate change.

“However, the fishing will have to stop,” said Mr Sala. While mangroves, kelp forests and sea grasslands have good carbon sequestration capacity, below the ocean floor is a large carbon sink.

Once fishermen’s nets are released into the ocean, the carbon gas is released back into the water. Excess carbon in the water turns it into acid, which is harmful to marine organisms.

Worse yet, this situation also affects the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon in the atmosphere: if seawater is saturated, it will not be able to absorb man-made emissions, limiting one of the The best “weapon” of man in the fight against climate change.

By combining publicly available data on the operations of fishing vessels globally with unit estimates of the amount of carbon stored in ocean sediment layers, researcher Sala and his team had The amount of emissions generated by this method can be calculated at the national level.

For example, the European Union emits 274,718,086 tons of carbon into the oceans each year, while Chinese fleets emit 769,294,185 tons and the US emits 19,373,438 tons.

Technological innovations such as green energy production and battery storage are critical to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. But there is a need to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, and so far the technology has not been able to do it at a reasonable cost and scale.

Mr. Sala said the oceans have been absorbing carbon for thousands of years. “Most people still see oceans as victims of climate change. What people don’t realize is that nature is part of the solution to the climate crisis. ”
