Chapter 478: On-site office
Bao Feiyang's mood was extremely heavy, although he knew that there were often reports of blood lead labels in later generations, but he did not expect that in 1994, the problem of blood lead labels in China would be so strict.
The standard rate in industrial polluted areas is as high as more than 85%, and the standard rate in ordinary urban and suburban areas is also over 65%, which means that more than half of the children in urban areas in China have blood lead concentrations.
Just like Ye Minjie said, this will affect the intellectual education of a generation or even several generations, and then affect the future and development of a country and a nation......
Ye Minjie sighed: "Judging from the numbers, the current blood lead level in China is much stricter than that in European and American countries, for example, the average blood lead concentration in the United States is only 36 micrograms per liter, and we are far beyond this level." ”
Bao Feiyang nodded with a heavy heart: "Sister Minjie, is it difficult to treat blood lead labels?"
Ye Minjie said: "Lead discharge is a systematic project, we must first get rid of the lead-containing environment, otherwise it is useless. ”
"From a medical point of view, there is no specific method of removing lead, and generally we do not recommend the use of lead removal drugs, because when leading removal drugs are used, they will also discharge trace elements such as calcium, zinc, manganese, copper and other trace elements needed by the human body, which will only be used in the case of severe poisoning. ”
"However, it is possible to use guò dietary therapy, take vitamins B, C, etc., and naturally remove lead in a good environment, so to remove lead, it is necessary to treat lead first. ”
Bao Feiyang nodded, indicating his understanding: "Sister Minjie, judging from these numbers. From the perspective of the need to treat blood lead labels, it is urgent to control lead pollution. ”
"As far as I know, the main sources of lead pollution include vehicle exhaust, the combustion of lead-containing coal, and industrial pollution. Industrial pollution mainly includes the smelting and processing of lead-containing metals, as well as lead-acid batteries, which need to use lead for processing.
Ye Minjie smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I am studying medicine, how to treat pollution is a social problem, what good way can I do it?"
"However, the investigation of this time. The main sources of lead pollution in China are the burning of leaded gasoline and leaded coal, which is global and affects almost everywhere. ”
"There are also lead-containing plastics used in low-quality toys, lead-containing dyes used in low-grade fabrics, etc., which can also enter the human body through guò contact. ”
Ye Minjie took out another piece of material, which was the route of exposure and ingestion of lead that she counted during the investigation, which was not accurate, but could roughly reflect the possible lead contamination of children with lead labels.
Ye Minjie said: "During my visit, people are obviously not paying enough attention to the problems of lead contamination and blood lead labeling, and many people are not even aware of the existence of lead pollution. I don't know much about the dangers and prevention of lead pollution, including our government departments, and they don't pay much attention to it. ”
"Then there's the pollution from factories like Atari, which creates heavily polluted areas locally. In fact, this is easy to do, as long as your environmental protection department strictly enforces the relevant laws and regulations, and investigates and punishes such enterprises, you can let the pollution source be controlled. ”
Bao Feiyang nodded, and then shook his head again, this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do it, otherwise it will not be in the future generations, and incidents related to blood lead contamination are still endless. And the frequency of birth is getting higher and higher, and the impact is getting bigger and bigger.
As for the treatment of automobile exhaust and coal-fired exhaust gas, it is even more difficult, and pollution such as inferior toys and fabrics cannot be stopped, after all, the current domestic economic development level is still relatively backward. The living standards of the common people are also relatively low, and there is a great demand for low-priced goods.
However, Bao Feiyang felt that he should do something, if not completely change the situation, at least to improve the situation, otherwise his time at the Environmental Protection Agency would be in vain.
Zhao Daming quickly sent 30,000 yuan to him, of which 10,000 yuan was compensation for the beating of Ye Minjie and her two students, and the other 20,000 yuan was given to Wang Baotian as compensation for the harassment of Xigang Village in this incident.
Seeing the thick two stacks of money, Wang Baotian hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, what do we want this money for, we can't ask for it." ”
Bao Feiyang stuffed the money into his pocket: "Wang Zhishu, you take this money, give a physical examination to the villagers of the whole village, and the treatment must be treated, especially the children, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”
Ye Minjie also handed her 10,000 yuan to Wang Baotian: "Yes, you have to drain lead for the children and eat more food that helps to drain lead, this money is far from enough, and you can take the money from me." ”
Bao Feiyang pushed Ye Minjie's dollar back: "Sister Minjie, you are also working hard, although I can't give you a bonus on behalf of the Environmental Protection Department, but this 10,000 yuan is compensation for you, you must take it." ”
"As for the treatment fee for the children in Xigang Village, it should be paid by Atari, and I will definitely let Atari pay for it. Bao Feiyang said.
Ye Minjie smiled bitterly: "If you want them to pay, I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?"
"Don't worry, I do what I say. Bao Feiyang said.
Hearing Bao Feiyang say this, Ye Minjie did not refuse, and persuaded Wang Baotian to collect the money with him.
Through Guò Ye Minjie and Wang Baotian, Bao Feiyang already has a large amount of information on the pollution of Xigang Village and the illegal discharge of pollution by Atari Company.
In the conflict with Atari, they have also revealed their identities, so Bao Feiyang decided to formally inform the Xijing Environmental Protection Bureau and the Changyuan County Environmental Protection Bureau, and the monitoring office will formally file a case against the blood lead label of the villagers in Xigang Village and the lead pollution incident with Atari Company, and enter the investigation stage.
Half an hour later, Qian Guoqiang, director of the Changyuan County Environmental Protection Bureau, rushed to Xigang Village with several people in a van. He said enthusiastically: "Director Bao, welcome, do you want us to go back to the county seat to eat something first, and then we will report the problem of Atari to the leaders?"
It's just been after a lot of turmoil. Bao Feiyang and the others had already had lunch in Xigang Village, and now it was almost two o'clock, and Bao Feiyang didn't have the heart to entangle with the local bureaucrats for dinner, so he immediately waved his hand: "Director Qian, we have already eaten, and there is no need to report or anything." Let's talk about it while we're working on site today!"
Qian Guoqiang looks to be in his fifties, he looks relatively old, not tall, his skeleton is also very small, his body is thin, and he looks inconspicuous and gray.
Qian Guoqiang is indeed an inconspicuous figure in the political arena of Changyuan County, he has always worked for the Environmental Protection Bureau, and in his early years, he also published very professional articles in national journals. is quite high-spirited, and from an ordinary staff member to the director of the county environmental protection bureau, this sitting is seven or eight years.
For a place like Changyuan County, where there is an urgent need for development, the demand for money and projects is extremely hungry, and in an environment where there is a concerted effort to build an economy, the voice of environmental protection is extremely incongruous.
Qian Guoqiang's work enthusiasm in his early years was still very high. Especially when he first served as the director of the county environmental protection bureau, he was bent on doing a big job, but after hitting a wall one after another, he gradually became depressed.
The Atari incident was so big that the county environmental protection bureau had to intervene to deal with it, and they once approached Atari and asked the other party to regulate the discharge of pollutants. But it didn't work.
Under pressure from provincial and municipal environmental protection authorities, Qian Guoqiang reported to the county that he hoped to take coercive measures against Atari to use pollution control equipment to reduce the discharge of lead-containing waste gas and wastewater. However, his idea was rebuked by county leaders. It is believed that he is turning back the clock of history and destroying the investment promotion environment and economic exhibition situation in Changyuan County.
Qian Guoqiang had no choice but to issue a non-binding rectification notice to Atari.
Later, things continued to ferment, and Qian Guoqiang was called over by the county leaders, who thought that he was not effective in handling things, and guided the matter to expand, so that he could do a good job of explaining and pacifying the villagers, and create a good exhibition environment for the enterprise.
According to the county leaders, all departments in the county, including the environmental protection bureau, must serve to attract investment and serve enterprises, so the role of the environmental protection bureau in economic construction should be reflected here.
Qian Guoqiang was very aggrieved, the leader's words are to put it bluntly, the environmental protection bureau does not have to take care of the company's pollutant discharge, for the sake of the enterprise exhibition, what the environmental protection bureau should do is to persuade those villagers who are in danger of pollution to understand and support the enterprise, is this the environmental protection bureau or the company's public relations department?
However, even if Qian Guoqiang was unwilling and couldn't twist his arms around his thighs, he could only do what the leader said.
Of course, Qian Guoqiang, who had a misplaced role, was scolded and disliked by the villagers, and under pressure from the provincial and municipal environmental protection departments who received reports and petitions, Qian Guoqiang had to be a turtle with a shrunken head again, and once again issued a notice and a fine to Atari to stop production and rectify.
As a result, Atari still didn't move at all, and the Environmental Protection Bureau didn't receive a penny, but Qian Guoqiang was called over by the leader again and reprimanded.
This time, when he heard that the Environmental Supervision Office of the Provincial Department was going to handle this case again, Qian Guoqiang suddenly had a big head, and hurriedly called to report to the leader, who told him to do a good job in reception, and to think that the leaders of the Provincial Department would explain the difficulties of Changyuan County. Changyuan County is the most backward area in Xijing, it is not easy to attract a company, a little environmental pollution, and will not kill people, I hope that the Provincial Environmental Protection Department can raise your hand.
Qian Guoqiang hurried over with someone, who knew that Bao Feiyang did not have the slightest idea of accepting the banquet, and he would immediately go to Atari for on-site work.
Qian Guoqiang has had a lot of contact with Atari and knows that this company is very popular, the first few times it was fine, but later it was even difficult for him to enter the factory.
Bao Feiyang put on a big fanfare to investigate Atari, and Atari probably wouldn't even let them in.
However, he couldn't object, so he had to follow Bao Feiyang to Atari on the other side of the road, while carefully explaining: "Director Bao, Atari is special, they usually don't let people enter their factory during production. ”
