Chapter 360: Under the Dome
"Air pollution is already a serious problem in China. And this situation is not known to have only appeared this year. During this time, I collected a lot of information. This is a clip from an interview conducted by a CCTV reporter in 2004......"
A video began to play on the big screen, which was a clip from a CCTV reporter interview in 2004. In the video clip, the sky is gray, with large chimneys smoking in the distance, and trucks pulling coal shuttle back and forth.
"It's been at least three years, every day, and I haven't seen a blue sky......"
"Look at the river over there, it's so polluted......"
"It's definitely carcinogenic......"
Where the villagers discussed, and finally interviewed a little girl. The little girl's words touched many people.
"Have you ever seen the stars?"
"No ......"
"Have you ever seen a white cloud?"
"No ......"
"Have you ever seen a blue sky?"
"I've seen ...... bluer than this."
When the video ended, everyone fell silent. Both the scene and the people watching the live broadcast were silent.
"No one could have imagined that more than ten years later, we would also live in the same world that little girls live in. When it comes to smog, we must first know what smog is. Speaking of us, we must first understand a term. The term is PM2.5......"
Zhang Fan began to explain in detail what PM2.5 is and the dangers of this substance. On top of that, the particles are finely polluted and able to penetrate capillary blood pores and deposit them in the deepest parts of the body.
This substance has a very high carcinogenic rate, and contains more than a dozen heavy metals with high carcinogenic rates.
"Some time ago, we collected some air samples and commissioned our Yenching University laboratory to conduct laboratory tests. Here are the test results, which show that among these pollutants, more than a dozen heavy metals are highly carcinogenic ......"
Zhang Fan showed the test results, and when they saw the results, everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
"Carcinogenic, wouldn't it......"
"Holy shit, really?"
"It's horrible......"
"This ......"
"No, it's so scary......"
"Damn, if it weren't for Brother Fan, I really wouldn't have known such a thing. ”
Netizens couldn't help but talk about it, the smog is so carcinogenic, it's terrible.
"I have one more statistic here. It is data obtained from the pediatrics departments of major hospitals in Yanjing. Data show that since the beginning of winter, the number of children suffering from respiratory diseases has increased significantly. In major hospitals, pediatrics are overcrowded. At the same time, the sea market in the same north is different......"
Give examples, provide evidence, play videos, and various authoritative test reports.
Taken together, these data have completely made people see the horror of smog. There are some things that you will only be afraid of if you understand them. The same is true of smog, when the horror of smog is truly understood, people will be afraid.
"During this time, I kept thinking about it. What the hell happened to us? What did we do? Why can't we wake up to so many bloody lessons? The London smog of 5 December 1952, which killed at least 4,000 people, disabled countless Londoners and paralyzed traffic for days, affected millions of people in history. ”
According to the 2012 Global Environment Outlook 5 published by the United Nations Environment Programme, 700,000 people die each year from respiratory diseases caused by ozone, and nearly 2 million premature deaths are related to particulate pollution. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America also published a study that said that the average life expectancy of human beings may have been reduced by five and a half years due to air pollution. ”
Zhang Fan looked at everyone at the scene, and everyone also looked at Zhang Fan, no one expected that Zhang Fan would tell everyone such an important thing in this way on this occasion.
"So, where did the smog come about? Was it really caused by car exhaust? Or was it some other reason? For this reason, my team traveled all over the country, and the results were beyond our imagination......
Zhang Fan began to reveal, and all kinds of collected evidence began to be played. There are also a lot of candid videos.
All kinds of non-compliant factories, especially some steel-making plants, simply do not meet national environmental protection standards. According to the current standards of the country, these factories cannot start production at all.
But now, these factories produce the same without any delay. And the villagers' reports have no effect.
Clearly, this is the result of poor regulation. Looking at the huge chimneys, many people watching the live broadcast hated it.
Obviously, there must be a lot of interests involved in this kind of thing. Some people turn a blind eye for the sake of profit.
"The steel produced by these steelworks is the lowest grade steel on the market today. And this kind of steel, in fact, in China has long been overwhelmed, according to industry insiders. The profit of producing a ton just now is very, very low. On the one hand, there is a surplus of industry, and on the other hand, there is this overproduction that pollutes the environment. In order to save costs, they did everything they could. And environmental protection is often the most effective approach......"
Under the dome, Zhang Fan began to reveal some things. Steel mills, thermal power plants, various chemical plants, coal mines, mines......
However, Zhang Fan did not satirize the country's policies. Zhang Fan's comparison method is customized in accordance with national standards. The state has already customized the standard, but there are some people who do not implement it.
"There is a lack of enforcement by the environmental authorities, and the departments are passing the buck to each other. Some government officials are GDP paramount. The economy has gone up, but the environment has been destroyed. I can't help but ask myself if we need to think about our living environment in the process of our development. History tells us. What we do to the planet, the earth will treat us. Compared with polluting the environment, the cost of environmental treatment is greater. Those developed countries have already taught us too many lessons......"
Before I knew it, four hours had passed. From eight o'clock in the evening until twelve o'clock in the evening.
For such a long time, Zhang Fan didn't even go to the toilet. The speech was full of passion, and what was revealed continued to shock the eyes of the world.
In particular, in cancer villages, the risk of cancer in the whole village is hundreds of times higher than in normal villages because of the polluted water source. Ninety percent of people die of cancer these years.
The bloody reality is revealed, and the number of people watching this live broadcast is also climbing wildly. The number of people in the official live broadcast room of iQiyi Live has exceeded 20 million.
The four-hour live broadcast brought countless shocks to people. This live broadcast was thrown into China like a nuclear bomb, causing a three-level earthquake to occur in the whole of China.
Air pollution, water pollution, solid waste pollution, soil pollution, etc., Zhang Fan revealed more comprehensive things this time, and involved more things, and the power is naturally much greater than that documentary in another world.
