Pollution is getting serious nowadays.
But..it seems can't be stopped.
Malaysia, why are you allowed Lynas built rare earth refinery facility in Kuatan, Pahang?!
If you don't know Lynas, please ask Mr.Google.
Facebook helps to separate the news.
Almost all of my Fb friends are joining this function.
Why NO Lynas? (Source from Facebook)
In the process of rare earth refinery, certain radioactive elements such as Uranium and Thorium will be released.
Once the facility starts to operate, 300,000 tons of radioactive waste will be produced every year!
In the event of leakage, those radioactive elements will not only exist in solid and fluid waste, the fallout will contaminate the dust particles in the atmostsphere and become air-bound.
Lynas' solution to the waste is to "recycle" them.
Current technology is insolvent to diminish radioactive materials, would it be safe for the consumers to purchase contaminated products?
However, there is a report that questions the safeness of the storage.
Iit will lead to the contamination of drinking water, crops, sea and animal products.
The radioactive fallout can be spreaded up to several hundred square kilometers.
When humans are exposed to radioactive materials, the most common signs are: nauseous, dizziness, peeling of the skin and drop of white blood cell count.
Severe exposure will lead to death usually within 2 days up to 2 weeks, and it is incurable.
Radioactive material can also impair genes of all living organisms, causes the birth of abnormal infants and cancers.
SO
Please save our generation life
