083 1 Sunshine Abstract The chemical pollution in Zhu Xuan Village of Sanmen County is controversial! The villagers reported that chemical pollution was the main cause of cancer for more than ten years. Do chemical enterprises in Sanmen County pollute the environment? Is there a causal relationship between chemical pollutants and cancer? Has the local government fulfilled its regulatory responsibilities? Today (August 3 1 Sunday) at 8: 00 am15 Zhejiang Voice "Sunshine Action? Investigate, track and report the chemical pollution incident in Sanmen Zhuhang Village independently, so please pay attention.

Zhuhang Village in Sanmen, Taizhou is about five or six minutes' drive from Sanmen County. Here, surrounded by mountains and waters, a small river flows slowly from the entrance of the village and joins the sea not far away.

The villagers reported that since the beginning of the new century, there has been an abnormal phenomenon among the villagers: some people have various internal discomfort, some people have abnormal abortion after pregnancy, and some people are bedridden and their bodies are getting thinner. Patients died one after another, and the number of deaths ranged from one or two to four or five within one year. Most of the deceased were diagnosed as lung cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer, rectal cancer and breast cancer. What is terrible is that new villagers are suffering from cancer. There are similar situations in nearby Shangfengkeng Village, Lufang Village and Waiyu Village. According to the reporter's incomplete statistics, there are more than 70 villagers suffering from cancer in these villages.

Yu Jingxi, a retired teacher from Zhu Hangcun, said:

083 1 Cancer Village 1 In our village, people think it is a chemical industry. One is water pollution, the other is air pollution. This chimney stinks and dust falls on the surrounding mountains. The tap water in our village is all mountain springs, and the whole landscape is drunk here. Many factories treat water well in name, but in fact they secretly put water into streams at night. In recent years, fish, shrimp, crabs and clams have all disappeared.

People in the village got cancer, which made the vegetable farmers in the village look down. A vegetable farmer said that Zhu Hangren's vegetables and chickens are sold in the market, and consumers "stay away from them".

083 1 cancer villages 2 (where do you sell vegetables? ) I sell vegetables in Sanmen. What kind of food do you sell? ) selling side dishes. Is the food grown at home? ) Ah, it's planted. Do you dare to say that you are from Zhuhang Village? What she means is that when selling vegetables, she doesn't say that she is from Zhuhang Village, but asks them where they are from. They dare not say that they are from Zhuhang Village, but from the sea. If they come from Zhuhang Village, he doesn't want them. Everything you hang is poisonous. How many years has this been the case? ) For several years.

The villagers believe that cancer is related to pollutants emitted by several surrounding chemical plants. So, is the relevant department of Sanmen County informed? What's their attitude towards this?

When the reporter interviewed the villagers in Zhuhang Village, he received a phone call from the Propaganda Department of Sanmen County Committee. The reporter went to the county government at 8 pm that day and said that he would interview the relevant person in charge. I hope reporters can listen to the government's opinions.

At 8 o'clock that night, the reporter rushed to the county government as promised, and Zhang Yuming, director of the county government office, received the reporter. Director Zhang introduced the current situation of three pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises to the reporter. He said that all 12 medical enterprises in the county had been shut down for rectification on August 1 day.

083 1 cancer villages 3 in 12 enterprises, some enterprises may have some problems in management due to their weak awareness of environmental protection. It is precisely because of these problems that our government departments now propose to comprehensively rectify the chemical industry.

After director Zhang introduced the situation, the reporter asked several questions, but director Zhang refused the reporter's interview request on the grounds that he was not clear about environmental protection professional issues.

After Zhang Yuming, director of the county government office, introduced the situation, the heads of four villages, including Chen Zhaoyuan, secretary of the Party Committee of Haiyou Town, and Zhu Hangcun, walked into the office:

083 1 cancer villages 4 Are you from Zhejiang People's Broadcasting Station? (Oh, right. ) You supervise by public opinion. When you came this afternoon, your county and township didn't say hello. We were really irresponsible when you went there. When CCTV came, there were people around. Call me, secretary. I don't care about them. How could you? Secretary, you may have some prejudice against the people, right? ) What's your prejudice? Our parents are ordinary people. What are their prejudices? At least say hello to me. What are you afraid of at People's Broadcasting Station? We are not afraid of anything. If so, we won't come tonight. Say hello and we'll go with you. Yes, we just want to truly reflect this matter. If we are afraid of you, what are we doing here tonight? Why should we listen to you? If you don't listen to us, you will definitely have a problem. I think you are too biased against ordinary people. He thinks that as soon as we get to the village, we will be besieged by the villagers. Doesn't that mean? In case something goes wrong, we can't explain it. Say hello. We think ordinary people are very reasonable. Do your government officials represent the interests of ordinary people? Why not represent the interests of ordinary people? (That's fine. Ordinary people are very reasonable. Ordinary people are reasonable, most of them are reasonable, and some are unreasonable.

In order to get more information, the reporter rushed to Sanmen County Environmental Protection Bureau the next day. Lin Xianda, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, was discussing with the chairman of CPPCC County how to deal with polluting enterprises.

Director Lin explained to the reporter the reason for closing the chemical plant:

083 1 All chemical enterprises in five counties of cancer villages 12 told them to stop production because their equipment did not meet the requirements. Jin Ming Pharmaceutical's equipment is first-class in the province, and this is its sewage treatment tank. The last time it thundered, a corner of it was cut off, but he didn't repair it in time and the waste gas came out. We immediately ordered him to stop production. The other two equipments are relatively old, which do not meet the requirements of current production, and there are also leakage phenomena. The waste gas treatment of East Asia pharmaceutical industry is not up to standard, and there is no waste gas interception and emission in the production process.

Why do environmental protection departments shut down these chemical enterprises today? How does the environmental protection department usually supervise? Director Lin said:

083 1 cancer villages 6 We will punish it every year, so don't ask in detail, I don't have time. (Is there a penalty? ) there are penalties. In the production process, there will definitely be some leaks. Because the equipment is not updated in time, there are problems in sewage treatment, such as sewage treatment pool, and there are also some leaks. If the masses report, we will check and find out, we will deal with it, stop production and rectify, and we will resume production for him.

So, how does director Lin view the relationship between chemical pollution and villagers' health?

083 1 cancer village 7 (villagers have cancer, what do you think is the relationship with the chemical plant? You go to that medical expert, no one can read you. We can't say that chemical enterprises have no impact on the surrounding environment, but I am the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. I am not soft on chemical products, and I will deal with them according to what I should do. We don't want the chemical industry in Sanmen to go from government officials to ordinary people. Sanmen's chemical industry accounts for 3.85% of Taizhou's total chemical industry, and there is no Jiaojiang's110. The number of chemical enterprises in our three doors is very small, and the total emission of so many enterprises is not as good as that of other enterprises.

In any case, the environmental protection department has paid enough attention to this pollution incident. So, how does the health department view this matter?

It is understood that when epidemics or chronic diseases occur frequently in an area, the local health administrative department should investigate and understand the situation, analyze the reasons and put forward countermeasures. So, does Sanmen County Health Department know about cancer patients in Zhuhang Village?

The reporter rushed to Sanmen County Health Bureau. A person in charge of the Health and Health Bureau said that he didn't know about it and suggested that the reporter go to the county CDC to understand the situation, so the reporter rushed to the Sanmen County CDC. A section chief surnamed Chen of the CDC said that the investigation of chronic diseases in the county has just started this year, and there is no investigation of cancer diseases.

083 1 8 chronic diseases in cancer villages, hypertension, accidental death, pesticide ingestion and so on started this year.

In August, the voice of villagers in Zhu Xuan village was answered, and Sanmen county rectified the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

On August 24th, a local newspaper in Sanmen reported on the front page of Sanmen County's rectification action on the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. According to the report, Li Hao, secretary of Sanmen County Party Committee, held an enlarged meeting of the county party committee on August 19, and put forward that "if the most basic problems such as odor, sewage and garbage are not solved well, the masses will disagree and be dissatisfied". After the meeting, the rectification of the pharmaceutical and chemical industry was carried out in the county, and the county party Committee and government said that they would "ensure the effectiveness of the rectification with iron determination, iron wrist and iron policy".

The analysis of the report pointed out that "history has made Sanmen choose medical care". In the 1990s, Sanmen County, like other counties and cities in Taizhou, began to introduce pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises, and successively established a number of enterprises such as fertilizer plants, steel plants and saccharification plants, with a maximum of 23. In 2000, the added value of the secondary industry of GDP in Sanmen County surpassed that of the primary industry for the first time.

In recent years, after 10 years of rapid development, the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, which has made some contributions to the economic development of Sanmen County, began to show its disadvantages, including unscientific industrial layout and unreasonable product structure. Among them, the unscientific industrial layout is particularly serious. Pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises are mainly concentrated on both sides of Sanmen Harbor. With the expansion of population gathering areas, the contradiction between the pollutants discharged by enterprises and the production and life of the surrounding people is becoming more and more prominent.

The report also revealed that the contribution rate of pharmaceutical and chemical industries to Sanmen economy is also weakening. Since 2007, the output value and tax revenue of pharmaceutical and chemical industries in the county have both declined, with tax revenue accounting for 6%, 4.5% and 2.9% in 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively, and currently accounting for only about 3% of GDP.

In this context, the Party Committee and government of Sanmen County put forward the "four unifications" of medical treatment: direct discharge of products with malodorous gases, production of unapproved chemical products, use of backward production processes and equipment explicitly eliminated by the national industrial policy, and all enterprises that are hopeless for rectification and fail to meet the standards will be shut down for disposal.

Sanmen county has begun to vigorously rectify the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. However, how should cancer patients in villages like Zhuhang Village claim their rights and interests? Should someone be responsible for their own life and health?

Gong Junfeng, a lawyer of Zhejiang West Lake Law Firm, believes that it is difficult for villagers to defend their rights, because the pollution of medical and chemical industries has a direct causal relationship with villagers' cancer.

083 1 cancer villages 9 How to Prove Causality? It is better for non-governmental organizations to set up corresponding environmental monitoring institutions, and for third parties to monitor the local environment. Is there an inevitable causal relationship between the high incidence of pollutants and diseases in local enterprises, and can the monitoring results prove that corporate pollution leads to high incidence of diseases? Then the local villagers brought a lawsuit to the court with the monitoring certificate, demanding compensation from the enterprise.

This is the end of the two-day activity. I wonder what you think of the three chemical pollution incidents before the broadcast.

Concluding remarks

Pollution control and environmental protection are important events related to human survival and development. At present, the whole province is vigorously changing the mode of economic growth, promoting transformation and upgrading and economic restructuring. I hope Sanmen County can keep pace with the times and resolutely implement Scientific Outlook on Development. In the process of reform and development, it is necessary to have both Jinshan Yinshan and green mountains and green hills. Being responsible for people's life and health is also responsible for future generations.

At present, Sanmen county has begun to rectify medical enterprises with an iron fist. We expect the local government's rectification measures to persist and achieve satisfactory results for the people.
