As a result of the lack of supervision, the enterprises appeared to smuggle and leakage of emissions, leading to widespread pollution of the desert.
From March 22, 2013 after the remaining enterprises, there has been no discharge of sewage. The sewage discharged in the past was treated by drying and evaporation, and was not buried inside the sand. And pointed out that the next step to build a solid waste plant la, incinerator for solid waste landfill, incineration. Mabayil said drying area next to the five observation wells, to the quarter are to take the well water to the laboratory. The industrial park takes groundwater for testing every quarter.

Experts
Underground pollution
Botanists and grassland ecologists, Inner Mongolia Normal University Professor of Ecology Liu Shurun pointed out that when a large number of chemical companies have stationed in the Tengger Desert, and these enterprises will be untreated sewage discharged into the desert, and a large number of groundwater mining for production, once the groundwater is contaminated, the herdsmen have been living in the habitat for thousands of years. Once the groundwater is contaminated, the habitat where herders have been living for thousands of years will not only be lost, but more importantly, the unique ecological environment of the Tengger Desert, the fourth largest desert in China, may also face serious threats. Once the desert's groundwater is contaminated, it is almost impossible to repair it.
Atmospheric pollution
Zhao Zhangyuan, a researcher at a certain institute of China's environmental sciences, believes that evaporative sewage discharge is dangerous because of the high standards for sewage facilities. Evaporation way, evaporative sewage is not only evaporated into the air, it produces some of the waste inside, will float into the atmosphere, floating to everywhere, to the place where there are people are all will produce pollution. In addition to the soil, water, there will be pollution, harmful, it is not just evaporation to the atmosphere.
