The opposite:
1, London, England smog event.
London, England, known as the city of fog, December 5, 1952 -8 days period, and was shrouded in thick fog. During this period, many people suddenly suffered from respiratory illnesses, all of a sudden filled the hospitals in London. During the four days, the number of deaths increased by more than 4,000 compared to the same period of the year, with the greatest number of deaths occurring in people over 45 years of age, which was about three times the usual number of deaths, and deaths in people under one year of age were twice as high as usual.
During the week of the incident, deaths from bronchitis, coronary heart disease, tuberculosis, and heart failure were 9.3, 2.4, 5.5, and 2.8 times higher than the usual number of deaths from the same diseases, and deaths from respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, lung cancer, and influenza increased exponentially over the usual number. More than 8,000 more people died in the two months after the event.
The incident was analyzed as being related to London's massive coal consumption at the time. During the event, dust particles were concentrated at up to 4.46 mg/m3, 10 times the usual level, and SO2 concentrations were up to six times the usual level. Under the specific conditions of the fog, the Fe2O3 in the smoke contributed to the oxidation of SO2 to SO3, which led to the formation of H2SO4, which coagulated on the dust, thus forming the acid fog that was the killer of the event.
2, Japan Yokkaichi incident .
The city of Yokkaichi is located in Japan's eastern gulf. 1955 here built more than a dozen petrochemical plants, chemical plants emit SO2-containing gases and dust all day long, so that the formerly clear skies have become dirty.
In 1961, respiratory diseases began to occur in the area and spread rapidly. Chronic bronchitis was reported in 25 percent of patients, asthma in 30 percent, emphysema in 15 percent, etc. In 1964, there were three days of smog, and many asthmatics died as a result. 1967, some patients committed suicide because of unbearable suffering. 1970, the number of patients reached more than 500.
In 1972 there were 871 asthmatics in the city and 11 died. It is reported that during the event the city of Yokkaichi emitted as much as 130,000 tons of SO2 and dust annually, the concentration of SO2 in the atmosphere exceeded the standard by 5-6 times, and the smog was as thick as 500 meters, which contained harmful gases and metal dust, and they interacted with each other to produce substances such as sulfuric acid, which was the main cause of asthma.?
3, Japan's water error event .
In Japan's southern Kyushu Bay, there is a small town called Water Mistake, which is inhabited by 40,000 inhabitants, making a living by fishing.
Beginning in 1939, Japan Nitrogen Fertilizer Company's synthetic acetic acid plant began to produce vinyl chloride, and the plant's production wastewater has been discharged into the Water Mistake Bay.
The company used mercury-containing catalysts in the production of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, leaving the wastewater with large amounts of mercury. This mercury is in the water column and is consumed by fish in the water, where it is converted into toxic methylmercury. After human consumption of fish, mercury in the human body to gather and thus produce a strange disease: the patient began, just slurred speech, staggering, followed by facial dementia, numbness, deafness and blindness, and finally become neurological derangement, until groveling and screaming wildly and died.
In 1972, according to the Environmental Protection Agency statistics, the town of water error *** suffering from water error disease 180 people, more than 50 people died, just in the new line of the county Ahe Nogawa also found more than 100 water error disease patients, 8 people died. According to the report, the number of patients is far more than that, only the town of water error residents, that is, more than 10,000 people were victimized.
