Shocked! Sinochem Group's Lingling pollution serious nearby villages live in fear.

Chongqing Lingling area is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, where people's ancestors lived in the environment of mountains and rivers, by the mountains to eat mountains, by water to eat water, here used to be blue sky and blue water, melon fruit fragrance, but in recent years, the villagers' lives have encountered great trouble. CCTV finance "economic half an hour" reporter carried out on-site investigation, let's see!
Pollutant pressure top crop death well water abandoned
Chongqing City, Shuanggui village Yangtze River, by the mountains and water, originally a melon fruit fragrance, four seasons pleasant small mountain village, but now, the villagers are called bitter, because they live in the environment there is a big problem, every morning up by the dam blowing over the white ash smoked eyes, if it is windy, everywhere like snow. The roofs of ordinary homes, on the ground, on the crops and vegetable leaves in the fields, are always covered with that gray-white dust. Villagers told reporters that the white powder is phosphorus gypsum, pollution is very large.
phosphate gypsum is an industrial by-product gypsum produced during the production of high concentration of phosphorus compound fertilizer, it is a powdery gray-white solid waste residue, the main component is calcium glyphosate. Villagers say the phosphate gypsum dust that floated into the village came from a nearby phosphate fertilizer plant, which is part of Sinochem's Chongqing Linghua plant.
under the guidance of local villagers, CCTV Finance "Economic Half Hour" reporter from Shuanggui village can see the phosphate fertilizer plant stacked with phosphate gypsum powder, just above the hillside, from a far point of view, like a gray-white dam. In addition to phosphorus gypsum dust pollution, Shuanggui village villagers said that they also suffered from another kind of pollution, that is, the sulfur smoke of the phosphate fertilizer plant, the air is particularly unpleasant, people sometimes smell that smell, like gas.
morning of November 10th, a small group leader in the village found that his yard had been washed away by the rain unknown pollutants! Overnight, the stone surface of the group's drain was covered with white plaster-like contaminants.
group leader told CCTV Finance "Economic Half Hour" reporter, this is from the reporter previously saw which phosphate gypsum dam flow down. Villagers with reporters along the hillside all the way up, all the way can see floating white pollutants. Finally saw a diameter of about one meter of drainage ditch. Next to the drainage ditch stands a sign that reads "Stop the flood ditch", which surrounds the periphery of the phosphate gypsum pile, and at the lower side of the phosphate gypsum pile, there is still a lot of sewage, which is formed by rain washing away the phosphate gypsum heap above.
a warning sign on the side of the road on the east side of the phosphate gypsum dump. It reads: the molecular formula of phosphate gypsum is calcium diode sulfate, the main dangerous characteristics are: "the water in the dam is industrial waste water, harmful to people and animals; The water
the "no" dam cannot be used as water for living and irrigation. "This warning sign was erected by Sinochem Chongqing Lingling Chemical Company. Obviously, the plant is very clear about the hazards of sewage in the dam, and the villager has his own experience of the hazards of sewage in the dam.
villagers in Shuanggui village: this water has acid and alkali, hand into itch will hurt.
Villagers said that Chongqing Lingling chemical pollution has a long history, reporters noted: 2013, 2015 and 2016 Chongqing environmental protection departments at all levels are required to Sinochem Ling Chemical Co., Ltd. within a time limit for rectification and a fine of 50,000 yuan, then, Chongqing Lingling Chemical Co., Ltd. these soaked phosphate gypsum sewage will be how to deal with it? Reporters saw, in the side of the cut-off ditch erected a warning sign, which reads: "Industrial circulation of water, strictly prohibited into."
told CCTV Financial News that the chemical plant stopped a dam under the mountain, and the chemical plant said they would pump the dam's sewage back into the plant for recycling. But villagers question the limited amount of water the dam contains.
village villagers: it has a root pipe, racked to pump sewage into the factory, it sewage more time can not pump, it went into the Yangtze River.
In addition, due to the small size of the flood channel, several days of heavy rain, washing phosphorus gypsum piles will also overflow the cut-off ditch, along the hillside to the fields and villages, so the group leader's home on November 10 unknown pollutants. The team leader said that over the years, sewage from the phosphate gypsum dump down the hill is not once or twice, as long as there is heavy rain, there will be sewage overflow down the hillside. The water used for living in Shuanggui village has been seriously affected. The original cooking and drinking wells, the vast majority of the current has been abandoned.
village villagers: that phosphorus gypsum water into the head, the water boils to see the above floating layer, it started that yellow bubble.
at present, the whole village of Shuanggui well water people can not eat, also dare not give livestock and poultry to drink. In the village of Shuanggui, poultry had been in captivity, but now they have been converted into captivity. Like humans, drinking water for poultry and livestock has been replaced by running water. Water flows low, and phosphorus gypsum stacked high on top of it is inevitably polluted into fields and villages below the mountain by heavy rain.
, why should the Chongqing Lingling Chemical Plant pile phosphorus gypsum powder on top of the mountain? The introduction of the villagers surprised the reporter. The dozens of meters of phosphate gypsum heaps that were visible today are just the tip of its iceberg. Instead of piling on top of the mountain, it was piled up from the bottom of the original deep ditch all the way up to a phosphate gypsum mountain. Beneath these terraced steps are phosphorus gypsum powder.
, according to villagers, when chongqing's Lingling Chemical Plant began stacking phosphorus gypsum powder in the valley in 2002, the depth of the valley floor was comparable to the horizontal surface below the workers' and farmers' bridges. Reporters briefly calculated that the thickness of this phosphate gypsum mountain is about 120 meters. On the satellite map, you can clearly see the phosphate gypsum pile, which is in the northeast corner of Chongqing's Lingling Chemical Plant, on the south side of the Industrial and Agricultural Bridge, is a very striking irregular white block. The reporter climbed a nearby hill overlooking the north side of the phosphate gypsum mountain, which is the south side of the phosphate gypsum mountain. Phosphorus gypsum powder has been piled up into a huge mountain. And it covers a large area of cultivated land in the village of Shuanggui.
a cadre in the village of Shuanggui presented reporters with part of the agreement to lease land to stack phosphorus gypsum from 2002 onwards. According to the lease agreement, from 2002 onwards, Chongqing Lingling Chemical Plant in phases to lease the land of Shuanggui Village for the stacking of industrial waste phosphorus gypsum powder, the first batch of land lease period of 20 years, until the end of 2022. The term of the lease is now 2022 and 2023. The vast majority of the leased land is arable land. The 2006 lease agreement with Shuanggui Village Society shows that arable land accounts for more than 98%.
In recent years, chemical plants have occupied a total of about one thousand acres of arable land, the remaining farmland is poor, one person only two or three points of land, and are corner slopes, can only grow vegetables. Villagers say that phosphate gypsum dust floats into the fields all year long, and vegetables glued to phosphate gypsum powder will die, even if the phosphate gypsum powder on the leaves is washed away by rain, but the rain will wash phosphorous gypsum powder into the field, the land has been polluted. When the vegetables are ripe, they are hard to sell, and the villagers can only eat themselves.
In Shuanggui village, CCTV finance "economic half an hour" reporter saw a large area of cultivated land occupied by phosphorus gypsum powder, small pieces of vegetables can not be exchanged for a few money, scattered citrus trees, fruit is very rare. Villagers said that before the village of Shuanggui mountains are full of citrus trees, each family has dozens or even hundreds of trees, a year can sell thousands of yuan tens of thousands of yuan.
, but now the orchards of the mountains are gone. Not only did the citrus trees die, but other species also died. Phosphorus gypsum dust has polluted water sources, vegetables and trees, so what about people? Every day, as soon as you look up and see the huge pile of phosphorus gypsum on the top of the mountain, the villagers of Shuanggui village are in inexplicable fear.
Acid rain frequently villagers suffering
phosphorus gypsum as an industrial waste, in addition to dust pollution, water pollution, it also contains arsenic, copper, zinc, iron, manganese, lead, cadmium, mercury and a variety of radioactive elements. Chongqing Lingling chemical phosphate gypsum pile thickness of hundreds of meters, an area of thousands of acres, huge phosphate gypsum pile more than ten years of open-air stacking there, the nearest distance from farmers only thirty or forty meters. CCTV finance "economic half an hour" reporter learned that the phosphate gypsum pile not only occupied the village of Shuanggui farmland, but also rented the South Bank Pu village of farmland. Unlike the villagers of Shuanggui village, which mainly live under the mountain, the village of Pu on the south bank is located on the top of the mountain, with a higher terrain and a distance from the phosphate gypsum pile. But they can't get rid of pollution.
Zhang is a group of villagers in the village of Pu on the south bank of Longqiao Township in Lingling District, and his family grows a bit of soybeans on the top of the mountain. Mid-November is the soybean harvest season, but Lao Zhang gave up this piece of soybeans, Lao Zhang said these are contaminated by acid rain.
The villagers of Pu village on the south bank of the south bank Lao Zhang: this kind of ripe yellow is natural death, that kind of dry is hot, the roots are rotten dead, it has no particles, is the shell. There are black spots on it, which is also a problem of pollution.
reporter saw that in this area, dead soybeans accounted for a large part. Lao Zhang said it was acid raindrops that burned the soybeans to death on the leaf surface. The source of its pollution comes from the synthetic ammonia plant at the Shaoling Chemical Plant in Chongqing. The factory is just below the mountain.
CCTV Finance "Economic Half Hour" reporter in the chemical plant door has a product production process map, which has sulfuric acid process map and sulfuric acid exhaust gas process flow chart. This indicates that if handled carelessly, it is possible to leak exhaust gas containing sulfur. So, old Zhang's dead soybeans will not be the chemical plant leakage sulfur exhaust pollution caused? Lao Zhang said that this has happened many times before. Other villagers also confirmed that acid rain incidents occurred many times, chemical plants also made claims.
villagers in the village of Pu on the south bank: this year the acid rain hot three times, the first is the vegetable, the second is corn, the third is sweet potato soybeans. This year we lost twice, to the production team lost more than 40,000 yuan.
the pollution of Chongqing's Lingling chemical plant caused the death of the village of Pu on the South Bank, the secretary of the village committee branch also confirmed to reporters.
Shoulin, secretary of the South Bank Pu Village Branch of Longqiao Township in The Lingling District of Chongqing: They all lost money. Pollution is ignition when it is heavy smoke, it gas out, people and dogs can not stand.
according to villagers, chemical plant pollution caused crops to die, fruit trees disappeared, some poultry are also difficult to escape bad luck, sometimes the chickens are smoked to death, they are now most worried about their health.
land can not be re-cultivated Villagers hope to relocate
Shuanggui village is located at the foot of the mountain, next to the phosphate fertilizer plant in Chongqing Lingling Chemical, suffered mainly from phosphorus gypsum pollution. The village of Pu on the south bank is located on the top of the mountain, next to the synthetic ammonia plant of Chongqing's Lingling Chemical, which is mainly contaminated with exhaust gas. Year-on-year living in such an environment, the villagers are miserable, many times to find factories to negotiate, to the relevant departments to reflect, the results?
in shuanggui village, CCTV financial "economic half an hour" reporter saw that the lease agreement of the Lingling chemical plant reads: "After 20 years of lease, party A is responsible for organizing the re-cultivation." Under the agreement, re-cultivation must be achieved between 2022 and 2023, but villagers feel it is unlikely. Because it is impossible to remove the piles of phosphate gypsum from re-cultivation, or to cover the soil with phosphate gypsum for re-cultivation. Moving the chemical plant, or moving the village, is the most pressing hope of the villagers of Shuanggui village. In the village of Pu on the south bank, six groups have moved out of five groups, leaving only one community of more than 20 families still living in the mountains.
branch secretary told reporters that according to the local government plan, Chongqing Lingling Chemical Plant will gradually relocate to other places in the next few years. So, before the chemical plant moved away, how to solve the pollution problem?
CCTV Financial "Economic Half Hour" reporter searched the official website of the Chongqing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, from January 2014 to November 2016, less than three years, the Environmental Protection Bureau of Chongqing Lingling Chemical Plant because of pollution penalties as many as 10 times. The main problems are "the imperfection of the phosphate gypsum slag field to intercept the flood ditch, the existence of leachate into the discharge of the flood ditch phenomenon, the production of waste gas without treatment directly into the external environment" and the illegal acts of stealing waste gas waste water. These pollutions are the problems mentioned by the villagers of Shuanggui village and South Bank Pu village.
November 15, before the reporter left, in shuanggui village phosphorus gypsum dump, after a few days of work stoppage, transport vehicles and excavators are busy again, phosphorus gypsum pile a layer higher, phosphorus gypsum dust is gradually spreading.
half an hour observation:
General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "A good ecological environment is the fairest public product, is the most universal people's well-being." "And in the program, the living environment of the villagers of Shuanggui Village and South Bank Pu Village in Shaoling District of Chongqing City makes it really difficult for us to get up. The villagers here don't know when they will be able to breathe fresh air, drink clean water, polluted fields can't be re-cultivated, and when chemical plants will stop destroying the environment.
according to villagers, local authorities have repeatedly punished Chongqing Lingling Chemical, but the results have not been significant. Reporters landed on the official website of the Chongqing Environmental Protection Bureau, according to the search records, in the last less than three years, the Chongqing Environmental Protection Bureau has been Sinochem Chongqing Lingling Chemical Co. , Ltd. has carried out 10 penalties, the largest of these penalties of a fine of only 100,000 yuan. The fine is nothing to do with a large company that produces 2m tonnes of fertilizer a year. The law is the red line, the rule of law is the bottom line. But law enforcement is soft, then law enforcement becomes "cotton stick", "itch scratch".
, General Secretary Xi Jinping, said: "Only the strictest system and the strictest rule of law can provide a reliable guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization." In order to establish a system of accountability, those who ignore the ecological environment blind decision-making, resulting in serious consequences, must be held accountable, and should be investigated for life. "This fully expresses the Party Central Committee's firm attitude to protect the environment. For those who repeatedly violate the red line of the law, extensive pollution of the environment, the relevant departments must strictly enforce the law, increase the illegal costs of violators, strictly implement the accountability system, only in this way "beautiful China" can dream come true.
