Zhejiang hundreds of villagers lead poisoning preliminary identification battery factory as the culprit

Preliminary identification of the plant as a source of pollution of the villagers, the blood lead content severely exceeded "peak Jiang Speed battery factory was sealed, the last two days, a police car always parked, now the doorway to build a tent, heard that the current plant is appraised by the bank, this factory production is not possible, now a few nearby villages have a lot of people to go to the physical examination,　　I heard that the villagers near the lead exceeded the number hundred, some blood lead content of more than 800, listen to scared to death ...　　This is a recently appeared in Taizhou a well-known forum of a post. What is the concept of more than 800 lead?　　Our Ministry of Health, which has more than 100 micrograms/L of blood lead, is called high blood lead, and more than 200 μg/l is called mild lead poisoning; a clinical intervention is considered for 450 μg/l. More than 700 μg/l can cause multiple organ damage, lead encephalopathy, paralysis, coma and even death. On Tao Village hundred villagers collectively lead the Tao village is located in Taizhou Luqiao, belongs to the Peak River Street jurisdiction, there are thousands of people. One day at the end of January, villagers Tao Chunming found their 1-year-old daughter somewhat eccentric, every night 11 or 12 o'clock all noisy, refused to sleep. "Is there a problem?"　　"Tao Chunming not sure, so call is Anhui working sister pottery Red Consultation. "Is it lead poisoning?" "Tao Ying Red vaguely remember once saw a file about the health of the TV program, there is said that children more moving, refused to sleep ... is one of the symptoms of lead poisoning. Want to get home at the door there is a battery factory, waste will not cause pollution to the surrounding environment?　　Tao Ying Red immediately advised brother with small nephew to hospital inspection. As expected, 1-year-old nephew, the blood of the lead content reached 204 micrograms/liter, is a mild lead poisoning. Is this because of your family's eating problems or the surrounding environment is contaminated?　　A bigger problem arose in Tao Chunming's mind. Seeing the results of Tao Chunming's little baby, many nearby villagers seem to feel trapped. Everyone went to the hospital to check. As a result, the whole village was shocked, more than half of the nearly 200 people who had gone to the test, and the highest concentration of blood lead reached 797 μg/l, which did not include the immigrant population who lived in the village for a long time.　　is the battery factory the culprit? Obviously, this is not an accident.　　All lead-poisoning villagers live near the fast-start battery factory mentioned at the beginning of this article. This is a manufacturer of electric car batteries. When the reporter came to the scene, the factory has deserted. According to the villagers, after this incident, the factory has been completely shut down. The factory wanted to move the means of production, but in order to retain the evidence, the villagers will be around the factory.　　The tent at the beginning of the article was built by the villagers squatting in the factory door. The reporter followed the villagers into the abandoned plant, found piles of lead powder and into a dozen of lead blocks are randomly stacked on the roadside, which is the production of raw materials for batteries. into a workshop, although it has been discontinued for one weeks, but the air is still filled with a strange smell, not pungent, but after the smell of the throat is very uncomfortable。 Outside the workshop, the reporter accidentally found a similar filter device, the villagers explained that this is indeed a dust filter, but has been abandoned for many years.　　Sure enough, the pipe in the workshop was directly attached to the chimney, and the filter was left alone, with no pipe attached. Battery factory Outside the wall is a width of less than 5 meters of the path, the road opposite is the Upper pottery village of the house.　　Most of the people who live in the most blood-lead are living there and have lived there for many years.　　Why are polluting companies so close to residential areas? Why would a company that could pollute the environment be built so close to the living area?　　The network reporter with this problem to find the Peak River Street in charge of the deputy director of industry Tao Haibin. TAO director admits, "according to the stipulation, this kind of enterprise should build in far away living area 500 meters of place." Now only more than 10 meters apart, is not in line with the requirements. "Stipulate 500 meters, reality 10 meters." Why is there such a big gap? Tao director told reporters that this land was originally planned for industrial land, villagers to move away, the establishment of industrial parks. The fast-battery plant was the company that was introduced at that time.　　As a result, the factory was built, the policy has changed, the park has not been completed, the villagers have not moved, so there has been this situation. It is understood that this covers an area of about 10 acres of battery factory since 2005 production, has been more than 6 years of history.　　Last year's output was about 20 million yuan.　　Can't the government treat the poisoned workers? It is understood that the road and Bridge district, the government has taken a positive response to the matter. Request the Environmental Protection Department to carry on the pollution analysis, invites the expert doctor to carry on the guidance, the treatment to the related villagers.　　And in Taizhou Hospital Road and Bridge Hospital to open a free inspection and treatment of green channels, but also for the affected villagers issued treatment drugs.　　However, the green channel and the treatment of drugs currently only on the Tao villagers can enjoy, many long-term rental of this migrant workers have failed to receive, Huangfang is one of them. She took the child for a medical examination with her own expenses. As a result, the blood lead concentration of the children was 330 micrograms/liter, and their own was more than 400. "We have been living here for many years, and the factory has been built."　　Huangfang is very confused about not being able to get drugs. For this problem, Feng Jiang Street office Zhang Director clearly stated that we did not forget the migrant workers, the current program has been handed up, approval will soon come down.　　At that time, migrant workers can rely on temporary residence permits or employment certificates to receive medicines to enjoy free treatment.
