Hey there! Did you hear the latest? Japan is taking big steps to clean up pollution at Fukuoka Airport, spending over 1.14 billion yen (that's more than $7.7 million)! 💸✨
So, what's the scoop? From 2015 to 2021, Japan's land ministry and other organizations inspected the site of the former U.S. military base at Fukuoka Airport in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City. They found a significant amount of benzene and lead along the fuel transportation pipeline. Yikes! 😱🚫
In fiscal year 2022, local authorities decided to tackle this issue head-on, implementing soil contamination countermeasures to make the area safe and clean again. It's all about keeping the environment healthy for everyone! 🌿🌍
This move shows Japan's commitment to addressing environmental issues and ensuring safe spaces for its communities. Way to go! 🙌🇯🇵
