Provincial Salt Bureau revealed that yesterday afternoon, the Bureau received some cities in the province one after another salt rush situation, as of last night, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Maoming, Yangjiang and other provinces about one-third of the city's local appearance of this situation, mainly in some supermarkets, farmers' markets. Shenzhen Salt General Manager Ye Huanqing introduced yesterday afternoon, the phenomenon of salt from the east of Guangdong began, and then the west of Guangdong, there are individual places more than 6:00 p.m. salt began to go off the market. Shenzhen from last night around 6:00 pm began to have signs of scrambling to buy iodized salt, last night has spread to the city. Provincial Salt Administration yesterday night to start the emergency plan, 24-hour duty, strengthen the scheduling and timely organization of supply.

For individual supermarkets, farmers market unauthorized increase in salt prices, the provincial Salt Administration said that any act of raising the price of salt is illegal. Provincial Department of Health, Salt Industry Corporation and the industry and other relevant people said in an interview, from the current monitoring results, Guangdong's waters are not subject to Japan's nuclear contamination, nuclear leakage will not contaminate the province's salt, coupled with the country's adequate salt reserves, so the public do not have to be too nervous and panic, rush to buy iodized salt is not necessary. Relevant experts also believe that it is pointless to buy iodized salt to prevent radiation.

Official reaction Provincial Emergency Response Office: small and medium-sized cities are more serious Provincial Emergency Response Office Director Ji Jiaqi told the Southern Metropolis Daily reporter, the phenomenon of salt is only in Shantou and other small and medium-sized cities is more serious, the situation in big cities is still good. "We have already released information on Shantou's TV station, informing the public that China's waters have not been affected by radiation, and that Guangdong's maritime department, the Marine Fisheries Bureau and others are encrypting their monitoring, so there is no need to rush to buy salt.

Experts say nuclear medicine experts: buy iodized salt to prevent radiation meaningless "Buy iodized salt to prevent radiation meaningless." Last night, Beijing Fu Wai Hospital, nuclear medicine professor He Zuoxiang accept Nandu reporter interview, on the part of the public rush to buy iodized salt phenomenon, he believes that this is more from unnecessary panic. Do not need to buy anything to prevent radiation He Zuoxiang said, now some people buy iodine tablets, and even rush to buy iodized salt, which is meaningless. Japan's nuclear leak, from all sides of the information, and will not have a practical impact on our country, do not need to buy anything to prevent radiation, to do is to understand the information, do not excessive panic, "we are now the biggest problem is excessive fear, the lack of basic common sense". (Southern Metropolis Daily www.nddaily.com SouthernMetropolisDailyMark Nandu.com) Secondly, if there is radioactive iodine into the body, then using iodine tablets may reduce the thyroid gland's uptake of radioactive iodine, but now people are worried about nuclear contamination from Japan, it is the radioactivity in the air and the environment, then using iodine tablets is meaningless! As for iodized salt, which contains traces of iodine, it is equally pointless. And if you take iodine tablets there may also be unnecessary side effects. Some people are worried that the sea water is affected by the Japanese nuclear power plant incident, and then contaminate the sea salt made in the future, He Zuoxiang said there is absolutely no need to worry about the nuclear leak in Japan will affect the sea salt in China, the possibility of such contamination is minimal. World Health Organization: take iodine tablets should be careful The World Health Organization said potassium iodide tablets are not "radiation antidote", and not all people are suitable for taking, only in the clear guidance of the public **** health institutions, only need to also be able to take. The World Health Organization published information on its website on the 15th, pointing out that potassium iodide tablets are not a defense against external radiation, nor are they a defense against radioactive substances other than radioactive iodine. Taking potassium iodide tablets before or shortly after exposure to radiation can saturate the thyroid with iodine and reduce the thyroid's uptake of radioactive iodine-131, thereby reducing the risk of cancer. However, caution should be exercised when taking potassium iodide, as iodine tablets can cause illness in people with renal insufficiency, and potassium iodide taken by pregnant women can damage the thyroid function of the fetus. Therefore, taking potassium iodide must be carried out under the guidance of clear public **** health, and cannot be taken without authorization. Li Zhimin, vice president of the Shenzhen Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital, also said in an interview, "There is no need for this (iodine supplementation) without being contaminated." Guangdong coastal sea salt farms are definitely safe The Chinese Preventive Medical Association National Occupational Disease Specialized Committee vice chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention and Control, said Huang Hanlin, the day after the earthquake in Japan, that is, March 12, the hospital has begun to embark on the Guangdong coast of the major cities in the seawater and seafood radioactivity monitoring. Comprehensive current environmental protection and other departments to summarize the situation shows that the Guangdong coast, at least for the time being, is certainly not contaminated by radioactive substances, Guangdong coastal sea salt farms are certainly also safe. He said that the institute will certainly step up its monitoring of radioactive substances in seafood and seawater in the future. Once the problem is found, it will follow the prescribed channels to release to the society.
