What is the specific situation of illegal dumping of chemical waste in Zhucheng, Shandong Province?

According to the official report of Zhucheng City, Weifang City, Shandong Province, an illegal dumping of chemical waste occurred in the local area, resulting in the death of four poisoned people. On the day of the incident, the poisoned person was immediately sent to the nearest hospital for treatment. After in-depth investigation by experts, it was determined that it was caused by toxic gas in the waste dumped by the chemical plant. The poisoned person received emergency treatment in the local hospital. Four of them had severe symptoms and died after treatment. Other poisoned patients are out of danger and are still under observation. The public security department immediately set up an investigation team and classified the incident as a criminal case. The person in charge of the chemical plant has been controlled.

What is even more heartbreaking is that the four people who died of poisoning were a family of four, including an old man, a couple and a child. 37 people were poisoned, and now the public security organs have arrested suspects 16 people. Although the pollutants at the scene of the incident have been cleaned up and cleaned up relatively cleanly, who gave the enterprise the courage to dump waste at will? How serious is the environmental pollution caused by dumped chemical waste? Do these wastes pollute the soil, water and air? If it is really polluted, will it affect people living around? Will those poisoned people leave sequelae? These are the current problems. Whether it is the relevant person in charge of the enterprise or the relevant departments, the awareness of environmental protection is weak, the understanding of waste pollution is not high enough, and the supervision of all parties is not in place, which leads to today's tragedy. When the reporter called the relevant departments for an interview, the person in charge's answer turned out to be unclear, and I don't know whether the investigation process of the case has really not come out, or whether the relevant departments are careless and deliberately don't give the public an explanation, so it is unclear.

Generally speaking, waste from factories and enterprises must be treated through special procedures. If they are dumped or buried at will, the pollution to water, soil and air will be very great, which will further affect our own safety. If the relevant departments do not introduce more severe punishment measures, there will always be some enterprises on the verge of polluting the environment. Only by severely punishing these talents who destroy the ecological environment and pollute the environment can they play a warning role for all enterprises.

Protecting the environment cannot be said by one person, nor can it rely on the efforts of relevant environmental protection departments. Protecting the environment is something that every citizen should start from himself. Enterprises and factories, which are relatively large-scale production, should take the lead in developing the economy without damaging the environment.
