According to local people, the rapid spread of crude oil is related to seawater movement and local climate. Because it is summer, the south wind usually blows in Dalian this season, and the wind is stronger in recent days, and the ocean current movement is bigger than usual. So some crude oil that used to wander in the middle of the sea was quickly blown to many coasts in Dalian.
The "716" fire accident is a serious production safety responsibility accident and a major environmental pollution incident. The monitoring results of Chinese sea surveillance ship on July 9, 65438 13: 30 show that the polluted sea area is about 430 square kilometers, of which the heavily polluted sea area is about 12 square kilometers and the generally polluted sea area is about 52 square kilometers. Oil spill poses a great threat to seawater quality, ecosystem and marine life in Dalian Bay.
Greenpeace, an international environmental protection organization, pointed out that there are great health and safety hazards in both the process of cleaning up oil pollution and the coordination between aquaculture and tourism in the surrounding areas.
At 65438+1October 24th 16: 00, the oil depot of Dalian PetroChina International Storage and Transportation Co., Ltd. caught fire again.
