The environmental pollution incidents in China in recent years are as follows:
In 2112
On September 11, 2112, a lead-zinc tailings dam in the upper reaches of Duojie Village, Guzhen Town, Duyun, Guizhou Province collapsed, and thousands of cubic meters of slag poured down from the cliff and injected into Fanjiahe River at the foot of the mountain. The trees soaked in tailings along the coast died, and the fertile fields were buried by slag, and the powdery lead-zinc tailings mixed with river water to become sticky. After the incident, the Qingshui River, more than 21 kilometers downstream, was still muddy, making it difficult for people and animals to drink water for a while.
water pollution incident in Nanpanjiang, Yunnan
In October p>2112, a serious water pollution incident broke out in the upper reaches of Chaishitan in Nanpanjiang, Yunnan Province, killing hundreds of tons of fish and polluting more than 311 million cubic meters of water in the downstream Chaishitan Reservoir. Because of the dense population and concentrated industrial and agricultural production along the Nanpanjiang River, it is one of the more developed regions in Yunnan. This water pollution incident not only caused huge economic losses, but also had a very bad social impact.
In 2113
Sanmenxia Reservoir discharged "a reservoir of sewage"
In 2113, due to the increasing industrial sewage discharge from some enterprises in the upper reaches of Sanmenxia Dam and domestic sewage discharge from towns near the Yellow River, the Yellow River suffered the most serious pollution since the measured records were recorded. The water discharged from Sanmenxia Reservoir was "soy sauce color" and the water quality deteriorated to V, making it a veritable "reservoir of sewage". Although Sanmenxia City is close to the Yellow River, citizens have to spend money to buy mountain spring water from nearby mountains. "Watching the Yellow River to buy water to eat" has become a wonder of Sanmenxia City.
2114
Extraordinary water pollution incident in Tuojiang, Sichuan
At the end of February and the beginning of March, 2114, the Second Fertilizer Plant of Sichuan Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. discharged a large amount of high-concentration ammonia nitrogen wastewater into Pihe River, a tributary of Tuojiang River, which caused the Tuojiang River to turn yellow and smelly, and the ammonia nitrogen exceeded the standard by 51 times. After the pollution, 511,111 kilograms of cage fish died, resulting in a direct economic loss of about 311 million yuan. Jianyang, Zizhong and Neijiang along the Yangtze River were forced to stop water supply for four weeks, affecting millions of people. The local pure water was snapped up, and the local government mobilized fire engines from Yibin and Chengdu to deliver water, which still could not meet the daily water consumption of residents. In order to alleviate the disaster, 2111 tons of ammonia nitrogen were diluted by emergency water transfer from Dujiangyan and Sancha Lake, but it was too late. According to experts' calculation at that time, it will take at least five years to restore the destroyed ecology of Tuojiang River.
Puyang, Henan Province can't drink "safe water"
Since October 2114, a water pollution incident occurred at the water intake of the Yellow River in Puyang City, Henan Province, which lasted for more than four months, and the drinking water safety of more than 411,111 residents in the urban area was threatened, and Puyang City was forced to use the standby underground water source. According to the survey, since 1997, the water intake of the Yellow River in Puyang City has been polluted for many years, and the urban drinking water source is affected by pollution for about 4 to 5 months every year.
water pollution incident in Qingyijiang, Sichuan
In late February, 2114, a large amount of industrial sewage was secretly discharged into Qingyijiang, Leshan City, Sichuan Province by some paper-making enterprises, resulting in a large number of white bubbles on the water surface and a pungent alkaline smell. Qingyijiang was originally the drinking water source for nearly 411,111 people in Leshan City. However, after the water quality was seriously polluted, the surrounding water supply companies were on the verge of stopping production because of the increased difficulty in producing qualified drinking water, and the local people were facing a water shortage crisis.
2115
Water pollution incident in Qijiang, Chongqing
Since October 3, 2115, the water intake was polluted by wastewater discharged by upstream Chongqing Huaqiang Fertilizer Co., Ltd., which caused the water supply of the water plant to stop, and nearly 31,111 residents in Qiaohe area of Gu 'nan Street in Qijiang, Chongqing were cut off from water for two days, and the production of Qijiang Gear Factory was also suspended.
Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province suffers from pollution water shortage crisis
In mid-March p>2115, various water-saving publicity materials appeared on the streets of Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, asking residents to wash vegetables with rice washing water, wipe the floor with laundry water, or put bricks in the toilet tank to save flushing water. The price of water for residents in this city has also increased from 1.65 yuan per ton to 1.9 yuan. The survey shows that although Jiaxing is a world-famous "water town" with dense river network, there is a shortage of usable water in Jiaxing due to the upstream transit water pollution.
Yellow River water has become a "harm to agriculture"
In p>2115, crops in some areas of the Yellow River Basin decreased or even failed to harvest, because there were many highly polluting industrial enterprises such as energy, heavy chemicals, non-ferrous metals and paper making along the Yellow River from Qinghai to Inner Mongolia, and the discharge of waste water increased year by year, and a large number of substandard industrial wastewater was directly discharged into the diversion canal, which led to the irrigation area along the Yellow River being similar to sewage irrigation, and the Yellow River water became ".
major water pollution incident in Songhua River
On October 3, 2115, an explosion occurred in the aniline workshop of Shuangbenzene Factory of PetroChina Jilin Petrochemical Company, killing 5 people, leaving 1 missing and injuring nearly 71 people. After the explosion, about 111 tons of organic pollutants such as benzene, aniline and nitrobenzene flowed into the Songhua River, which caused serious pollution of the river and affected the lives of millions of residents along the coast. Songyuan City, Jilin Province and Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province successively stopped water supply for several days. The downstream pollution even threatens the Khabarovsk Krai in Russia, causing serious international negative impact. The incident also exposed the disadvantages of undisclosed information and insufficient crisis handling ability. For example, there were panic scenes such as rumors and snapping up drinking water in Harbin.
afterwards, the investigation team of the State Council determined that this was a particularly serious water pollution responsibility incident, and dealt with 12 persons responsible for the accident by party discipline and political discipline. Xie Zhenhua, former director of the State Environmental Protection Administration, resigned for this reason. In the past five years, the state has invested a total of 7.84 billion yuan in pollution control for the prevention and control of water pollution in Songhua River Basin.
cadmium pollution accident in Beijiang, Guangdong
On February 5, 2115, serious cadmium pollution occurred in Shaoguan section of Beijiang, Guangdong, and the cadmium concentration in Gao Qiao section was detected to be more than 1.2 times higher than the standard. Beijiang River is one of the three tributaries of the Pearl River, and it is also an important source of drinking water for cities in Guangdong. Because Shaoguan is located in the upper reaches of Beijiang River, this pollution directly threatens the drinking water safety of nearly 11 million people downstream and the normal water use of thousands of enterprises, and the supply of tap water in some cities has stopped. After investigation, the accident was caused by illegal and excessive discharge of cadmium-containing wastewater during equipment maintenance in Shaoguan Smelter.
2116
Dead fish incident in Baiyangdian Lake, Hebei Province
In February and March of 2116, Baiyangdian Lake, the largest freshwater lake in North China, which is known as the "Pearl of North China", witnessed a large area of dead fish. The investigation results show that the main causes of the dead fish incident are heavy water pollution and low dissolved oxygen in the water, which eventually leads to fish suffocation. According to statistics, 96,111 mu of water belonging to Renqiu City, Hebei Province is polluted, the water is black and smelly, all the fish cultured in cages die, a large number of dead wild fish float in the lake, and some aquatic plants are black and dead.
River pollution incident in Mangniu, Jilin
On August 21th, 2116, Jilin Environmental Protection Bureau received a report from the public that chemical pollution occurred near Mangniu River. After field investigation, it was found that some water quality was red with a small amount of foam, and the pollutant was dimethylaniline, which formed a pollution zone about 5 kilometers long. After investigation, the accident was caused by Jilin Changbai Mountain Fine Chemical Co., Ltd. artificially discharging chemical wastewater into Mangniu River.
arsenic pollution incident in Yueyang, Hunan
On September 8, 2116, a water pollution incident occurred in Xinqianghe, a drinking water source in Yueyang County, Hunan Province. The arsenic exceeded the standard by about 11 times, and the drinking water safety of 81,111 residents was threatened. After investigation, the culprit of this pollution is three chemical plants in the upstream. Due to the daily discharge of industrial sewage, a large number of high-concentration arsenic-containing wastewater flows into the Xinqiang River.
Major environmental pollution accident in Sichuan Luzhou Power Plant
On October 5, 2116, the construction unit of Sichuan Luzhou Chuannan Power Plant started to install and debug the fuel system before the sewage facilities were built, resulting in diesel oil leaking into the cooling water pipeline and being discharged into the Yangtze River. On the same day, the company reported that the diesel oil entering the Yangtze River was 1.38 tons. After supervision by the environmental protection department, the diesel oil entering the Yangtze River the next day was actually 16.945 tons. This accident caused the urban area of Luzhou City to stop water supply and entered Chongqing to form cross-border pollution.
afterwards, the state environmental protection administration decided that this was a major environmental pollution incident, and Luzhou chuannan power generation co., ltd. was fined 211,111 yuan, and the relevant responsible persons of the company were punished by deducting bonuses and revoking their posts. Before May 5, 2117, Sichuan Environmental Protection Bureau suspended the examination and approval of all new projects in Huzhou except pollution control projects.
In 2117,
Cyanobacteria crisis broke out in Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake and Dianchi Lake
Since May 29th, 2117, the tap water quality of a large number of citizens in the urban area of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province suddenly changed, accompanied by an unpleasant smell, which made it impossible to drink normally. The reason is that a large area of cyanobacteria has appeared in Taihu Lake, which is a local drinking water source. This "frequent visitor" who invades Taihu Lake every year has come earlier and more fierce this year. Little blue-green algae disrupted the normal life of millions of Wuxi citizens overnight, and the pure water in supermarkets was snapped up, and the price of bottled pure water in street retail also soared.
In June, cyanobacteria also appeared in Chaohu Lake and Dianchi Lake. A large area of about 5 square kilometers of cyanobacteria appeared in the western half of Chaohu Lake in Anhui Province. With the continuous high temperature, cyanobacteria also appeared in the eastern half of Chaohu Lake, threatening the local drinking water safety. Dianchi Lake, Kunming, Yunnan, is also suffering from sultry weather for several days, and cyanobacteria are multiplying in large numbers. On the bank of the first line of Dianchi Lake Ridge, the lake is like green paint, accompanied by bursts of foul smell.
Water pollution incident in Shuyang, Jiangsu
At 3 pm on July 2, 2117, the surface water plant in Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province found that in a short time, a large amount of sewage invaded the water intake of the waterworks located in Huaishuhe River, and the water flow showed obvious odor. After testing, the ammonia nitrogen content of the water in the water intake is about 28 mg per liter, far exceeding the national water quality standard for water intake. Because the polluted water can't meet the drinking water standard after treatment, the urban water supply system was forced to close, and the water consumption of 211 thousand people was affected, and the whole Shuyang county was cut off for more than 41 hours.
2118
Poisonous water incident in Baishui Village, Guangzhou
On March 2, 2118, 41 villagers in Baisha Village, Zhong Luotan Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou suffered from vomiting, chest tightness, black fingers and cramps after eating at home or in a restaurant, and were sent to the hospital for treatment. According to the investigation, the reason for this pollution is that a private small factory in Baisha Village improperly used nitrite, which polluted the well dug by the factory without authorization, and the pumping pipe and tap water pipe of the well were illegally connected privately, which led to tap water pollution.
Arsenic pollution incident in Yangzonghai, Yunnan
Since June p>2118, the arsenic concentration in Yangzonghai, one of the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan, has been measured to seriously exceed the drinking water safety standard, which directly endangers the drinking water safety of 21,111 people. From July 8, people and enterprises around the lake stopped taking water as drinking water. On September 2, the Yunnan provincial government decided to implement the "three bans" on Yangzonghai, that is, no drinking, no swimming and no fishing for aquatic products. And decided to take measures to investigate and deal with polluting enterprises, start comprehensive pollution control measures, and strive to restore the water quality of Yangzonghai to normal in about three years.
As a result of this pollution incident, Yunnan Province imposed administrative accountability on 26 government workers, of whom 12 were dismissed. In order to strengthen environmental law enforcement, Kunming Public Security Bureau has set up an environmental protection sub-bureau, which is the first time in China.
