Sea water contaminated with nuclear substances will return to earth with water vapor.
Nuclear wastewater is discharged into the ocean. After being evaporated, they will be carried into the global earth's sky with water vapor, then reach the surface through precipitation, and then enter rivers. fish will also be contaminated by nuclear waste. Nuclear wastewater treatment is the most important thing. In 2023, Japan decided to release more than a million tons of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean, and this discharge was directly released into the sea.
The water contaminated by nuclear weapons will drift northwest with the Japan Warm Current and reach the waters of Taiwan, China with the North Equatorial Warm Current, and then spread to the East China Sea and reach the east of China. The sea of my pays about 200 days after the release, which is harmful to China, poses a threat to marine fisheries, ecological environment and human health. Radioactive materials in contaminated water will spread with the evaporation of water vapor and the spread of wind, and may form nuclear rain. This type of rain is similar to acid rain and will cause corrosion and pollution of soil, plants, buildings, etc. on earth.
Ocean Salinity
The process of precipitation is the process by which water vapor forms water droplets. When water droplets fall from the sky, they absorb carbon dioxide. in the air and forms weakly acidic carbonic acid, the pH value is about 5.6! When weakly acidic rainwater falls on the surface, it accelerates the corrosion of rocks and dissolves salt from rocks. These salts enter the rivers par surface runoff and eventually merge into large rivers that flow into the sea.
The world's rivers transport 4 billion tons of salt to the ocean each year. Over millions of years of accumulation, the salt present in sea water has accumulated to a considerable extent. contained in each kilogram of sea water. The salt content is called salinity. The distribution of salinity in seawater is actually uneven. Sea water from closed bodies of water has very high salinity.
