Health newspaper: To conceal for two months is more hateful than virulent pollution
Shu ShengXiang ( Citizens) The information office of Yunnan Province Qujing government notifies media of on the night of August 13 " Industrial waste material of hypertoxicity of good chemical Industrial Co., Ltd of Yunnan Province land chromium dreg topples over and causes dirtily illegally " Handle and pass and make the working measure of the step in earlier stage in incident. Open to report, this because the intersection of chromium and dreg greatly admire pollution that cause illegally, cause the intersection of person who greatly admire and nearby the intersection of countryside and 77 the intersection of livestock and death altogether. Drink very far the intersection of running water and source of water from local masses, lead to the fact influence to person's drinking water safely, have not caused casualties. To the water quality situation in a river in the south, according to the monitoring of this year of department in environment protecting mode, have not found so far six price chromium exceeds standard. (" Xinhua News Agency " of August 14) Local Environmental Protection Agency has goats that because drinks the water and is poisoned to death to collect the newspaper, and find many chromium dreg waste material and greatly admire some, it is on June 12; The network explodes in weight poisonous chemical waste material of more than 5000 tons in total amount chromium dreg is left out and put illegally, the poisonous water is discharged and pollutes the Pearl River source in a river in the south directly, it is on August 12. This time interval is two whole months, but if has not exploded material and media and reported " goes bankrupt and forces " on the net Disclose, this virulent contamination accident will be probably unknown by the people forever, just as too never happening. Even if the paper has not chartered the fire, the respose to " Yangcheng Evening News " reporter as soon as possible of drawing room in environment protecting mode of Yunnan, also " has poured 1000 tons of chromium dregs secretly, a water of 100 cubic meters of dead pond is polluted " ,Notify at 13th night Xinhua News Agency corrected oneself at last, it adds up to 5222.38 tons to pour out industrial waste material of hypertoxicity chromium dreg, the water body polluted is " Fork of 40,000 cubic meters washes water and nearly 3000 cubic meters of water retained in the reservoir " ,Moreover to pollute water body go on, reduce, detoxify, discharge enter the intersection of the south and records of river really punish, - -all these are nearly totally identical with exploding the material on net. Also just because of this, though the local official side still denies having casualties so far, has denied polluting the Pearl River source, in view of its " previous conviction " ,This kind acts on one's own the public unavoidably knows " Anyway I do not believe " . Find after pouring out the virulent pollutant illegally, though the local department in environment protecting mode has really dealt with actively as soon as possible, but drain into the Pearl River source directly after detoxifying and dealing with to the water body polluted finally, it is doubted but big security properties exist, because six price chromium reduces chromium for three prices though toxicity is reduced by 100 times, it may be still poisonous eventually, still leave the hidden danger to the low reaches safely with water. It is already very hateful to drain the sewage into the Pearl River source and leave the potential safety hazard, but the more hateful one is, the local government carries on the overall news blackout to the contamination accident, neither notify the downstream government and participate in water quality to appraise, also obstructed newspaper office will public relevent information, get the public know, already in the past two months totally. In a situation that the right of being in know is deprived, a lot of problematic water may have been already drunk into stomach, potential health is endangered and already produced but at all unable to avoid truly. Though in " temporary means of reporting environmental pollution and destroying the accident " issued in 1987, have not made the requirement to the society publicly for the pollution accident; But " the intersection of government and message disclose regulation " that will implement 2008 define the provision, information of government needing the public to know or participate in extensively of involving the citizen, legal person or vital interests of other organizations, should disclose to the society voluntarily. The government of Qujing only deals with silently but keeps secret to the outside to the virulent pollution accident, have obviously violated this requirement.
