Some villagers reflected that the day of the tap water tasted particularly unpleasant, there are not y poisoned villagers is to eat two mouthfuls of rice, think the taste is too bad, so the rice was poured out.

Toxic substances leaked from a local chemical company, leading to excessive barium metal in the tap water
According to some media reports, the local chemical company had already been exposed to illegal emissions and ate a fine before. According to local sources, the boss of the enterprise said that this is a competitor so-called, as for true or false, the official has not yet given any statement on this matter. So, everything has to wait for the official investigation results, but this food poisoning incident, after the media exposure, the relevant officials also said that the barium metal exceeded the standard leading to poisoning. Whether it's a leaky pipeline, a private discharge, or a competitor's act, it has nothing to do with the management of this chemical company. We hope that a thorough investigation will be carried out and that the company will be blacklisted because there is nothing more important than human life and health.
Local villagers have been discharged from hospitals after recovering from all but two serious illnesses, which is a blessing in disguise. Safety is more important than Mount Tai, and we hope that all places will pay strict attention to production management and safety construction to prevent things like this from happening again.
