About four and a half hours later, the fire was extinguished, but most of the hazardous waste stored in the warehouse was overfire.

Local residents said that after the fire occurred, the local smell was produced. In the home 15 kilometers away from Xingming environmental protection that night, the local residents said that they were awakened by a taste of pesticides, "it is a smell that feels very scared." The next day the air was still filled with a pungent smell. A resident who lived 3 kilometers away from Xingming Environmental Protection recalled that after the fire broke out, the entire street was pungent. "I have to wear a mask watching TV in the house."

The pungent odor was overwhelmed, and the unbearable residents repeatedly complained to 12345 and filed a petition. The media sorted out and found that in August 2021, there were 200 cases of air odor in the environmental letters and visits published by the official website of Huludao Municipal Government, and only 37 in July.

A letters and visits handling of a petition on September 8, 2021 showed that in addition to Xingming Environmental Protection, Liaoning Dongye Environmental Protection Industry Development Co., Ltd.

(hereinafter referred to as "Yinghua Environmental Protection") is also accused of odor. According to the opinion of the opinion, after the fire of the environment, the removal of the residual material transfer of fire dispersion was carried out on the spot. During the process, there was a problem of disordered people to disturb the people. The ecological environment departments have required it to speed up the clean -up and transportation speed, and adopt temporary anti -odor diffusion measures to minimize the impact of odor on the surrounding environment; the results of Dongye Environmental Protection and Yinghua Environmental Protection have reached the standard, and there is no obvious odor at the scene.

At the same time, Huludao Ecological and Environment Bureau also inspected 8 pharmaceutical chemical enterprises and two dangerous waste disposal enterprises in Beigang Industrial Park and Longgang District. All pollution data reached the standard and no obvious odor was found.

However, many residents said that during that time they could smell the odor every few days. It was not until February 2022 that the chemical enterprises were reduced or discontinued, and the odor gradually dissipated. The media consulted the open letters and visits found that from September to October 2021, the problem of irritating odor or odor in the air still appeared frequently, and it decreased after November.

According to the report, Xingming Environmental Protection has been discontinued since the fire in the hazardous waste warehouse on July 31, 2021, and the stock hazardous waste disposal after the accident was launched in early March 2022. In order to eliminate the environmental impact as soon as possible, while allowing the unit to dispose of themselves, other hazardous waste disposal enterprises in the city can also transfer and dispose of their inventory hazardous waste. In the process, the hazardous waste and packaging materials in the factory area need to be dug out and sorted in the hazardous waste storage pool in the plant area to disturb the original state of the storage pool. , It is impossible to fully close the operation. During the period of intermittent volatile gas, it causes the surrounding air odor.

In mid -April 2022, Xingming Environmental Protection stopped self -disposal, and the transfer to other hazardous waste enterprises was basically completed. The on -site inspection of the Huludao Ecological and Environment Bureau found that there are still odors around the area around the hazardous waste storage pool, and requirements for enterprises to cover and closed hazardous waste storage ponds. On April 27th and 28th, the bureaus conducted monitoring of unorganized exhaust gas discharge of three enterprises including Xingming Environmental Protection, Dongye Environmental Protection and Yinghua Environmental Protection, and all data reached the standard.

From May 22nd to 25th, the Ecological and Environment Bureau of Huludao City inspected the three companies mentioned above and found that there were not strict closure of hazardous waste storage libraries, resulting in poor operational effects of volatile organic collection and processing device; Yinghua and China Environmental -friendly exhaust gas treatment device is "running and dripping."

The next step will be dealt with in accordance with the law and regulations in accordance with laws and regulations.

On July 12, the staff of the comprehensive administrative law enforcement team of Ecological Environmental Protection of Huludao City replied to the media that the bureau had not posted the above reports to residents, and only made some situations to residents. "We just report to the municipal government."

Media comment

As of now, the air odor problem in Huludao City still needs to be resolved. The residents of Huludao interviewed said that the best time when the local air was the day when the factory stopped working during the epidemic. Now the local epidemic is relieved, but the people brought a mask at home. The media believes that the government should first ensure the lives and health of the people, which is the bottom line. There are no projects, it is big to make the masses live in a bad smell every day. There are no projects, and it is worth retaining at the cost of sacrificing the environment.

Such ridiculous things are over.
