The core is pointed out: Since exceed standard cadmium rice has not fought for the fact already extensively, the public will have a right of being in know soon at first. Need to explain the public and cause also including more broad soil heavy metal is polluted of the concern dawn too.

It is always complicated in fact. Last issue of our publication reports the seat publishes with the front cover " Cadmium rice murderous intention " The article, announce the Chinese rice heavy metal pollutes the current situation. After the article is issued, the internal and external response is strong, among them, there are anxious, resentfulness, concern and expecting of readers, also there are some people's objections. The objection can be called three " Do not have " .

Say that " has no way out " . It is not a secret, but customary fact to think the stated this article. Such general pollution, how to manage? Since have no way, needn't " disclose " Come out?

Two says " insignificantly " . Think the soil pollution of China minor, cadmium is more limited in pollution. Take the intersection of cadmium and rice, either might not suffer from " ache disease " that Japan appear ,Why make a fuss?

Three says " unmovedly" . Aforesaid " 2 have " Though the view is opposite the conclusion is similar, it is unnecessary to face cadmium rice and soil heavy metal straightly to be all advocated and pollute the risk, needn't take action to some extent so. Then, many places or or appeared by the expert, show the rice flowing into the market here is OK by officersing; The government of central responsible institution and seriously polluted area that should make a response keeps silent.

We are right " There is not three " The attitude can't be accepted at all.

Since exceed standard cadmium rice has not fought for the fact already extensively, the public will have a right of being in know soon at first. Cadmium rice is not certainly potassium cyanide, edible cadmium rice does not mean is poisoned and even dies fasting, it is not very serious and Chinese present cadmium rice exceeds standard, but this person to threatening to hit in cadmium rice, it is very lucky in it is just the misfortune. Because it is generally acknowledged after all that it is harmful that cadmium is in the human body, in fact the heavy metal is poisoned is often chronic poisoning, just present the clinical response after decades. What's more, in some areas of Guangxi, Hunan, have already found cadmium rice of serious pollution, there are many villagers to present cadium poisoning symptom in some villages, and these areas are still planting, selling and eating and receiving the rice that serious cadmium is being polluted. If the government does not set up defences to this at all, dangerous just on everyone side.

Need to explain the public and cause also including more broad soil heavy metal is polluted of the concern dawn too. According to different situations of each contaminated area, the harmful heavy metal of China-Super target of rice is not only cadmium, may also include lead, arsenic, mercury, copper, zinc,etc.. Except rice, other crops may be influenced by the fact that the heavy metal exceed standard too. The pollution of heavy metal advances freely, it is exactly the most troubling place.

In recent years, China, to " food security " Attention degree to some extent improvement,and "food security " Key challenge soil pollution. The department in environment protecting mode has already admitted, the overall situation of China's soil pollution is quite severe. It is estimated, the grain polluted by the heavy metal every year in the whole country reaches 12 million tons, over 20 billion yuan of direct economic losses caused. Soil pollution causes the harmful substance to accumulate in the crops, and enter the human body through the food chain, initiate various diseases, detrimental to health finally.

It is in soil heavy metal pollution a certain session responsibility of government,but long-term should to doing one's best by bitter pill of forging; The pollution control of soil, it is difficult in it is difficult just for environmental improvement. However, this must not become the reason why the government turn a blind eye to this, do nothing, let alone suppress the truth because the public is panic that afraid or the major issue is little. " cadmium rice murderous intention " Environmental challenge not shown and threaten, should become opportunity healthily, implement comprehensive administration should wait for again.

Comprehensive administration needs information to be formerly transparent. Should admit, in recent years, departments such as environmental protection department, Ministry of Land and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture,etc. are from different directions, pollute the situation and launch the research in a large number of investigations to the soil pollution, grain. These investigation results are not " Secret" ,Should be made known publicly as much as possible, it is convenient to inquire, have already offered information support to the researcher and policymakers at all levels, also contribute to mobilizing the whole social forces to participate in managing. Based on investigation result, the government increases input, advance the heavy metal to pollute the study on health influence, advance the scientific research experiment of managing pollution, it is also urgent basic work.

To control soil pollution is more difficult than to control air pollution and water pollution. Japan issued " law of prevention and control of pollution of soil of agricultural land " in 1970, began the long pollution soil to repair, have not reached for terminal so far. China will go through the such one too " The course of the suffering " . In this course, resolution and execution strength of the government are exactly keys, and soil pollution should be brought into the agenda while legislating.

China need also establish the system of intervening healthily in environment, realizes supervision on heavily polluted area and prewarning, and pollute the victim's treatment and cure and compensation. The health that environmental pollution causes will appear to endanger if accumulating for a long time. Can predict, will count during the decade in the future, the Chinese heavy metal will take a favorable turn to pollute the situation to some extent, but the environmental health crisis that the pollution of heavy metal initiates will be in high-incidence season.

It has been already quite serious that the soil heavy metal of China is polluted today, but not evolved and helped the office nature ecocatastrophe yet, government as space getting larger relatively still,the countries and regionses peripheral one draw lessons from money ample experience, lesson too. However, like other numerous questions, the administration of heavy metal pollution of soil involves a plurality of departments, it is extremely apt to suffer the system not suitable it is hard. Moreover, the specific local government also regards managing pollution as the excuse, change the agricultural land into construction land at will. If the relevant department can not coordinate smoothly, it is very difficult for a prevention and control of pollution of heavy metal of soil already beset with difficulties to see the hope. In this sense, the prerequisite of removing soil pollution is the dirt of the consciousness of driving officers out, the losing of the system, " cadmium rice murderous intention " Challenges declared publicly are profound.
