Yancheng, Wuxi, Zhenjiang on the "China Cancer Village Map"

Local said the survey quoted the report is not true

Not long ago, Weifang, Shandong Province, enterprises into the deep underground sewage exposure, the public on the status of the groundwater is extremely worried. A map of "China's cancer villages" made by the public interest people spread on the network was spread like wildfire, the map lists the number of cancer villages more than 200, Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, Wuxi, Zhenjiang, five villages "on the list", the local government has learned about this The local authorities, after learning the news, have denied and said that the situation in the areas referred to in the "map" is a thing of the past.

Yancheng: chemical plants have long since moved away

The three "cancer villages" in Yancheng exposed by the "China Cancer Villages Map" all came about because of media reports: in 2009, China Youth Daily reported that in the village of Xinguang, Longgang Town, Yandu District, there were 57 cancer patients in the preliminary investigation in the past seven or eight years, and that the village had a high incidence of cancer. In 2009, China Youth Daily reported that in Xingang Village, Longgang Town, Yandu District, in the past seven or eight years, there were 57 cancer patients in the village, and the age of death was between 50 and 60 years old. 2008, China Business News published an article that said, due to the impact of pollution from the Jurong Chemical Plant, nearly 100 villagers died of cancer from 2001 to 2006, and the villagers ate liver tablets every day. 2004, Jiangnan Times reported that in Yangqiao Village, Guhe Town, Funing County, the village had more than 20 deaths from 2001 to 2004, due to the close proximity of a pesticide factory and two chemical factories. From 2001 to 2004, more than 20 people died of cancer.

In this regard, Yancheng CDC Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases Section Chief Liu Ronghai said: "Through the recent years of Yancheng involved in the 'cancer village' and the surrounding population testing, the data show that it is the normal value." According to Liu Ronghai, the monitoring base of "cancer villages" must be more than 100,000 people in order to determine whether the incidence is high or low. "Where did the reported data come from? Why is it not publicized through the Ministry of Health?" He believes there is no scientific basis. Funing officials confirmed that the chemical plants stationed in Dongjin Village in Yangji Township and Yangqiao Village in Guhe Township also no longer exist.

"It's true that there were more patients with cancer in Xinguang village before 2009." But in recent years only seven people have suffered from cancer, two in their 50s, three in their 60s and two in their 70s or older with different cancers, said Dr. Xu Zhaoxi, a physician at the health service station in Xinguang village.

Zhenjiang, Wuxi: the report is not true

"In 2003, the media reported on the government departments caused a high degree of concern, the local CDC composed of eight investigation team stationed in the survey results show that the incidence of malignant tumors in the village of Guangfeng is only 279.37/100,000, lower than the city, the district incidence of malignant tumors level, and the neighboring seven villages compared to the no significant change." Wuxi Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department responded that, in September 2004, the Ministry of Health has issued a document "the Ministry of Health, the Department of Disease Control on the emergence of 'cancer village' phenomenon of the letter of the investigation", has commissioned the provincial Disease Control investigation, the results of the survey and the District Disease Control investigation in line.

At the same time, site contamination caused by leakage of hazardous chemicals has become increasingly serious, and the area of contamination and the scope of influence is expanding.

Under the action of multiple sources of pollution, China's shallow groundwater pollution is serious and rapid. 2011, 200 cities across the country to monitor the quality of groundwater, the proportion of "poor - very poor" water quality of 55%, and compared with a year, 15.2% of the monitoring point of the water quality in the deterioration.

According to the report.

According to a 10-year survey by the Ministry of Land and Resources, shallow groundwater has become undrinkable in 60 percent of the 1.97 million square kilometers of plains.

The groundwater situation has been urgent. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other departments to develop a plan, by 2020, the typical groundwater pollution sources to achieve comprehensive monitoring.

Rural wells mainly pump shallow groundwater, while surface water can directly infiltrate into the shallow layer, the most serious infringement of pollution. According to the 2001-2002 Ministry of Land and Resources, the second round of groundwater resources survey, shallow groundwater class Ⅰ and Ⅱ water quality distribution of only 4.98%, has been undrinkable Ⅳ, Ⅴ area as high as 59.49%.

In July 2012, Zhao Liang investigated in Bazhou, Hebei province, many villagers point to the source of pollution to some local steel rolling mills. For many years, some industrial enterprises in towns, suburbs and rural areas have been discharging wastewater from seepage pits, seepage wells and crevices, causing serious pollution of groundwater. Modern medical research shows that the human body has an immune system, nervous system and endocrine system based on the body's self-healing system, human life is relying on this natural self-healing power, to be able to survive and reproduce in the ever-changing nature.

When the natural self-healing power of the human body declines, diseases and aging occur, so increasing the natural self-healing power of the human body is the key to repairing diseases. Negative ions on the human body's role in health care and environmental protection, in China's scientific and technological or medical community has long been verified, which represents the top level of China's scientific research and technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of High Energy Physics and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medical Sciences Institute of Environmental Health and Health Engineering as early as the 1980s, through a large number of research experiments proved that the negative ions on the human body's role in health care in the body, in the living organism, the lipids of the electrons were In the organism, the electron of lipid is snatched, will oxidize into age spots; the electron of protein is snatched, the cell function will be out of order; the electron of gene is snatched, will get cancer. In living organisms, this kind of electron-robbing material is called "free radicals", from the quantum medical level, electron is robbed is the source of all diseases. Negative air ions health care principle is mainly because of negative ions have antioxidant (reductive) anti-aging prominent role, so as to achieve antioxidant anti-aging, reduce the role of free radicals. High activity, small particle size of the ecological level of negative ions on the treatment of cancer has a very good therapeutic effect.
