According to the field investigation, the dumping site is a cement pool with an area of about 120 square meters. Transport personnel secretly discharged hazardous waste into the cement pool and were poisoned by the leakage of toxic gas.
At present, relevant departments have dealt with it urgently. According to expert testing, it is determined that the dumping site is 200 meters downwind, and no toxic gas can be detected.
The nearest village is 3 kilometers away from the dumping point, so there is no harm to the life safety of the surrounding people.
Second, the harm 1, environmental pollution
Hazardous waste is essentially something that will cause serious harm to the environment or human beings now or in the future, so the state has strict regulations on the discharge of hazardous waste. Random discharge of hazardous waste will cause soil pollution, air pollution, water pollution and even irreversible damage to the natural environment.
Some highly corrosive waste liquids will seriously corrode pipelines and destroy urban infrastructure.
By polluting the environment, hazardous waste further affects wild animals and destroys their habitats, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of wild animals.
2, endangering human health
Hazardous waste is dumped at will. If it flows into the water, it will poison those who use water to improve it. The discharge of dangerous waste gas into the air will also lead to chronic poisoning of people living around, and in severe cases, it will lead to abortion and fetal malformation.
In addition, harmful waste goes deep into soil or groundwater, and the crops planted or aquatic products fed will contain toxins, which will eventually flow to human beings through the food chain, which can be said to be detrimental to others.
In addition, from the case, we also intuitively understand the harm of hazardous waste. In Dongying, one person died on the spot and one died after being rescued.
This shows how harmful it is.
Three. How to prevent illegal discharge of hazardous waste liquid 1 Relevant management departments strengthen supervision.
Relevant departments should take early measures for testing and disposal. Strengthen the patrol of hazardous waste discharge-prone areas; Take a combination of regular and irregular surprise inspections, strengthen the inspection of enterprises that produce hazardous waste, check the treatment of hazardous waste, and find abnormalities in time, even if measures are taken.
2. Strengthen social supervision.
Social supervision can effectively avoid supervision dead ends. The relevant departments should attach importance to the effect of social supervision and investigate and deal with problems that are strongly reflected by the masses in a timely manner.
3. Enterprise consciousness
As an enterprise that produces hazardous waste, it should consciously strengthen standardized waste disposal procedures, consciously accept departmental management and mass supervision, and consciously dispose of waste according to formal procedures.
