1. Backward technology in the production process: Nanxiang Dongfeng pesticide plant adopted outdated equipment and technology, which could not effectively control the emission of waste gas, waste water and solid waste, resulting in the release and accumulation of a large number of harmful substances, which aggravated the severity of pollution.
2. Lack of environmental protection facilities and management measures: Nanxiang Dongfeng pesticide plant did not invest enough funds and resources for the construction and maintenance of environmental protection facilities and management measures, and lacked effective pollution prevention and control equipment, resulting in the inability to effectively remove or treat pollutants, which led to the aggravation of pollution.
