【禁闻】滇铬渣事件 揭大陆化学污染面纱

【禁闻】滇铬渣事件 揭大陆化学污染面纱

【新唐人2011年8月18日讯】云南曲靖市陆良县五千吨铬渣废料被随意倾倒,珠江上游
水源可能被剧毒铬污染,危及沿岸数千万人饮水安全。这起迟了几个月才通报的重金属
污染事件,引发各地公众关注,也暴露了当地多年以来就存在严重的环境污染问题。由
于污染,附近的所谓�死亡村�已有37人死于癌症。外媒报导,反化学污染成中国官民
对弈的新领域。

大陆媒体报导�云南曲靖陆良化工实业有限公司5000多吨工业废料铬渣,非法倾倒,污
染珠江源南盘江�引发关注。

陆良县居南盘江上游,南盘江是珠江的源头。

据报导,这家企业从1989年起就没有对大量铬渣进行处理,露天堆放,废料最多时有
28.84万吨。工厂还利用群众无法分辨修路材料和化工废料,将铬渣私自倾倒在路边和
山坡上。

曲靖市政府8月13号就这起事件发出了通报说,化工厂非法倾倒,导致附近农村77头牲
畜死亡,但通报表示,群众的饮用水安全没有受到影响,也没有造成人员伤亡。而广东
省环保部门也表示,监测结果显示珠江水质没有异常。

不过,网易新闻8月16号报导,距离陆良县污染化工企业最近的小百户镇----兴隆
村,是远近闻名的�死亡村�,据村民说,村内每年至少有6、7人死于癌症。

《财讯》消息,兴隆村一位不愿透露姓名的村民说,从2000年以来,兴隆村因为癌症死
亡的村民达到37人。

距离�陆良化工公司�几公里外的某镇卫生院人员,告诉《大纪元》新闻网:�这些年
整个陆良县去昆明和曲靖市治肿瘤和结石病的人很多,一打听才知道是得癌症了。�

对此,长期关注大陆环保问题的作家郑义表示,在西方社会如果要建这样的工厂,需要
各利益集团和当地的民众,从各个方面讨论,最后达成一致的协议。郑义说,中国老百
姓是没有说话权利的。

郑义:�那么这种事情根本不需要征求老百姓的意见,因为从政府方面来说,他们考虑
的是政绩,你比如说,我这个GDP增长有多少,我这个就业的问题解决的怎样?至于说
负面的影响,带来环境方面的污染,给当地人民的健康、农业啊和各个方面森林造成重
大的伤害,这个他们一般是不太会考虑的。�

8月14号,大连发生上万人的民众示威、要求当局关闭、搬迁对他们生存构成威胁的
PX(对二甲苯)化工厂。

郑义:�当地的老百姓没有得到什么利益,反而受到了这么大的伤害,那么积累起来就
成了很多的社会情绪。当条件一适合的时候就会爆发形成大规模的抗议活动。我想在中
国它反而是一种通常的现象。6:03我想大家都明白,它在这个制度上是非常不合理
的。�

铬渣剧毒污染事件曝光后,曲靖当局通报说,当地污染化工企业找运输公司运送铬渣到
贵州处理,结果负责运输的司机为节省运费,将铬渣倾倒在半途,前后持续一个半月左
右,倾倒了5222.38吨。当地政府在事件被曝光后,只刑拘了涉案的两个司机。不
过,各方质疑曲靖当局刑拘两名司机是抓了两只替罪羊而已。

胡平(《北京之春》杂志主编):"中国的民众呢,要有进一步的深刻的认识到,自己
的利益必须要自己站出来捍卫,另外呢,最有力的抗争的方式大多数是上街头,同
时,尽量利用这种现代化的这种联络工具,互联网,更多地方的人能够站出来为自己的
利益抗争,取得成就,这可以加强大家的信心。"

曲靖市铬渣废料被随意倾倒事件,也引起了外媒的关注,《法国国际广播电台》评论
说,由于中国各级官方与企业间的�利益输送�,化学污染不仅涉及民众和污染企业之
间矛盾,也成为中国官民对弈的新领域。

Chemical Pollution by Dumping Chromium Slag

5000 tons of chromium slag randomly dumped in Luliang Countyof Qujing City,
Yunnan Province.Pearl River water may be polluted by highly toxic
chromium,endangering the safety of drinking water for tens of millions.The
incident was not reported, until a few months laterdrawing wide public
concern.It exposed many years of serious local environmental pollution.

The local pollution has caused 37 residents to die of cancer,in a
neighborhood dubbed, "the death village".A western media report stated that
anti-chemical pollutionhas become a new battle ground between civilians and
officials.

According to mainland media reports, in Yunnan Province,

Luliang Chemical Industry illegally dumped over 5000 tons ofindustrial
chromium residue.It polluted Pearl River and caused public concern.

Luliang County is located on the Nanpan River,which is the source of the
Pearl River.According to reports, since 1989this company has never treated
chromium slag.It dumps massive amounts of waste in the open,peaking at
288,400 tons.Since the public cannot distinguish between road materials
andchemical waste,the factory secretly dumped chromium slag on roadside
slopes.

On August 13, Qujing Municipal government said that the illegaldumping
caused the death of 77 livestock in a nearby village.However, the quality
of drinking water was not affected,showing no casualties.Guangdong
Environmental Protection Department said that basedon official monitoring
results, the Pearl River water quality is normal.However, a report from
Aug. 16 on www.yeah.net said that

Xinglong Village, the nearest town to the chemical plantis known as
the "death village".Villagers said that every year at least 6 or 7
residentsin this village die of cancer.China's media National Business
Daily reported thatan anonymous resident of Xinglong Village revealed,since
2000, up to 37 villagers have died of cancer.

A few miles away from the Luliang Chemical Industry Co,in an anonymous
town, a health center staff member toldThe Epochtimes: In recent years,
many people in the Luliangwent to Kunming and Qujing to cure tumors and
stones.They were later diagnosed with cancer.

Long-term concerned with China's environmental issues,writer Zheng Yi said
that if such plants are built in the west,meetings must take place between
interested groups andlocal residents to discuss and reach a unanimous
agreement.The Chinese people have no such rights for expression.

Zheng Yi: on such things, they don't seek civilians' views.

Because what they consider is the political performance,like the GDP growth
or employment figures.The negative effects like environmental pollution,
local people'shealth hazards and agricultural damages are not considered.On
August 14, tens of thousands of Dalian citizens protested,demanding the
authorities to shut a PX chemical plant.Zheng Yi: The local people don't
benefit at all andonly suffer harm from this chemical plant.A great deal of
resentment has accumulated.

When an opportunity arrives, large-scale protests will outbreak.This is a
common phenomenon in China, I think.And we all know, China's political
system is very unreasonable.After the exposure of the toxic chromium
pollution incident,Qujing official informed that Luliang Chemical Industry
Co.had contracted a transportation carrier to shipthe chromium slag to
Guizhou province for treatment.To save transportation costs, the drivers
dumped halfwaythe chromium residue, and they repeated this for 1.5
monthsdumping 5222.38 tons in total.

In the end, only two drivers involved were detained.Various parties
questioned whether they were made the scapegoats.Hu Ping (Editor-in-Chief
Beijing Spring Magazine):

The Chinese people should further understand thatwe must stand up to defend
our own interests.Furthermore, in most cases,street protests are the most
powerful way.Utilize the modern communication tools like the Internetas
much as possible.

When more people in China stand up to fight for their interestsand make
progress, this could strengthen our confidence.The dumping incident also
drew attention in western RFI(Radio France Internationale).It commented
that, benefits transferred between officials andenterprises triggers
conflicts between the civilians and enterprises.It also becomes a new area
of a win-lose battlebetween civilians and officials.
