Chapter 394: The Impact of the Haze
"Allure was right there for me when I was filming this anime, and she was scared and she asked me what she was going to do now. She will marry me in the future, what will happen to our children in the future? He also said that we should throw the child in the haze as soon as possible to adapt to it, isn't there a slogan now? You can't let your child lose at the starting line. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Some of the parents present wanted to laugh but couldn't, and even felt sad when they heard Su Dong's words.
"Professor Li told me that there is no scientific basis for this statement at all, and if you are exposed to smog air for a day, you will be damaged for a day, and there will be no so-called adaptability! I said what should we do, what should we do? What about the child? Professor Li hesitated for a moment and gave me a suggestion, he said that if it is a hazy day, reduce the number of times you go out. ā
"I thought about it, this is actually a way, it's a big deal, we don't go out on smog days, isn't this okay?"
"But later, I thought too much about it, and I contacted the Ministry of Environmental Protection and got an internal document. We have just started broadcasting the material of the ten cities that we recorded ourselves for that month, and now let's look at the video material given by the state. ā
The sound of music sounded, it was a very heavy background music, and the picture on the screen kept flashing, which was the measurement result of PM2.5 in large and medium-sized cities last year!
Shijiazhuang: Last year, there were 267 days of air pollution.
Tianjin: Last year, there were 189 days of air pollution.
Shenyang: There were 192 days of air pollution last year.
Taiyuan: Last year, there were 184 days of air pollution.
Chengdu: Last year, the number of air pollution days was 1o7 days.
A shocking number appears in front of you!
Journalists are stupid, how is it possible? Has the smog reached this point? But why don't they know? Why don't they feel anything about it?
In this world, the prevalence of smog among the people is very low, and they really don't know anything!
The viewers who watched the live broadcast also stopped what they were doing.
Su Dong smiled bitterly and said to the camera: "In many cities, there is large-scale air pollution for half or even more than half of the days in a year, so don't go out?" Unless we don't work, don't study, don't buy groceries, don't go shopping, I am very strange when I get this statistic, I am also very surprised, why? I don't understand why. Smog is a word that has only been coined in the past two years, right? But why did it seem that the whole country was covered in smog overnight? Why wasn't there before? How did I not know before? ā
"Yes, the term smog has only been coined in recent years."
"Why is it so serious all of a sudden?"
"Let's see what Su Dong said."
Su Dong shook his head: "Professor Li told me that the haze has always existed, and I said it is impossible, am I blind?" How did I never know? Then Professor Li asked me to flip through the news from previous years. ā
On the big screen, a picture of a newspaper came out. It was a front-page headline in the Beijing Times one day ten years ago. There are planes, there is fog.
"Professor Li asked me: What do you think this is? I said it's smog, right? Professor Li said: Then look at the news headline of that day. ā
The picture on the screen has changed again.
There were a few more words on that picture, and the headline of the day's news was typed!
"Large-scale flight delays at Tokyo Airport due to fog! ć
The audience at the scene and watching the live broadcast understood: it turned out to be "fog"!
Su Dong smiled bitterly: "In fact, ten years ago or even earlier, there was already haze, but the haze at that time was not called this name, but ...... Fog! ā
Hearing this, a chill rose in everyone's hearts.
"Made! I've been fooled by the state for so long! Fog! Uncle Fog! ā
"Hehe, it's fog, I'm just breathing in the fog."
"Anyway, they all breathe the same air, let's die together."
Su Dong continued: "We are very grateful to have a patient in Beijing Cancer Hospital and the doctor agreed to let us film and record an operation. She is an early-stage lung cancer patient, she is a woman in her 50s, she works in the hospital's finance office, and she has no smoking history with her family. ā
Inside the operating room.
Yang Yue, director of the second thoracic surgery department of Beijing Cancer Hospital: "Everyone has to suck in these blacks, and we are the same." ā
Anesthesiologist: "Does this person smoke?" ā
Director Yang: "This person doesn't smoke. But she's from your hometown. ā
Anesthesiologist: "The air quality is not very good. ā
Director Yang: "Yes, it's not clean. So it's probably something inside the atmosphere. ā
On the video, black particles were surgically removed.
Su Dong: "The whole world has to burn coal and oil. What happened to our coal? Do you know how much coal China burns? In 2013 we were 3.6 billion tonnes, but do you know how much coal is burned in other countries around the world? We burn more coal than the rest of the world combined, and the last time we did so was in Britain in 1860, but they paid a heavy price for it afterward. I made a trip to London to look back at that period of history. Deep in the abandoned pits of South Wales lies the heart of Britain's industrial age. It once drove one of the most powerful empires in the world, and also brought a terrible black catastrophe to the country. ā
"Now let's take a closer look."
"The four chimneys are 103 metres high, and they are a symbol of the pinnacle of Britain's industrial age, the Battersea Thermal Power Station. When it was built in the 1930s, it burned about 10,000 tons of coal a week to maintain one-fifth of London's electricity, and London almost lived on coal, from trains and ships to iron, steel and daily necessities. Because large quantities of low-quality coal are burned, and because of low-altitude emissions, the chimneys of domestic fireplaces cause twice as much pollution as industry. For a long time, London was soaked in soot, and people wore masks to school, went shopping, walked their dogs, and kissed with masks. On December 5, 1952, the day of the disaster came, cold air crossed the English Channel and covered the entire valley of the River Thames, keeping the soot under the clouds and unable to spread. People walk down the streets, unable to see their feet, and even have to rely on blind people to lead them home, and traffic police shine their headlights on themselves to avoid being hit by cars, and the whole of London is dead silent. You can only see ambulances because they have to transport people who are dying, but they are walking down the street and can only be lit by someone in front of them with torches. Lung tissue sections of the deceased were confirmed to have died from long-term inhalation of black charcoal from coal burning and high concentrations of particles containing heavy metals inhaled in a short period of time. ā
On the video, the gray expansion is playing, it is indeed London, England, and the black incident makes everyone who watches the video feel that it is very difficult for them to breathe now.
At the beginning of the live broadcast at the entrance of Allure Entertainment Company, there were still many reporters blocking at the door, but now there is no one.
At a service station, "Waiter, do you have dust masks here!?" Get me 10! Hurry up! ā
In a hospital, "Hey, close the window, it's smog outside, don't open the window." ā
In the video, Su Dong continues to say that he is now talking about coal, "What will be the consequences of our coal being burned more and more?" There's a problem that I never thought about is that good coal will burn less and less, right? So what do we do? Then there will be more and more inferior coal, and to what extent? This is our common coal, what about this? Is this coal? At first, I thought it was definitely not coal, it was wood, because I could still see the lines, including the fossils on it, but the people from the Coal Washing Association told me that this is coal, lignite, the youngest coal in the world, so young that its degree of coalification is very low, and when it is burned, nearly half of it will turn into black ash and all float in the air, so how much of this lignite do we use? ā
"It's the curve that we've produced it over the years. The consequence of it is this, on October 21, 2013, the first day of heating in Harbin, its smog explosion PM2.5 above 1000, Harbin people live like this on that day. ā
"We have a newspaper called Allure Entertainment Newspaper, it actually has a lot of documentary reporters, I got a copy of the information from one of the reporters, that is the information he interviewed the Harbin Environmental Protection Bureau, I heard that your car went out in those two days, the bus was lost, a colleague of the Environmental Protection Bureau smiled bitterly and said, not to mention the bus, even our director has lost. He said that he went to the scene that day to inspect the work, and no one recognized him because the smog was too big. ā
Hearing this, many people below laughed quietly a few times, but the smile was gone, and when I think about it, how much haze would cause such a situation!? In retrospect, it shouldn't be laughing, but it should be scary! Lamentable!
"The smog in Harbin that day was because they burned more than 20 million tons of lignite, plus in 2013, hundreds of thousands of such small boilers across the country, without any standards and without any supervision. This is the video footage of that day, and we can only see the outline of a city in the distance. ā
"Coal itself doesn't necessarily mean dirty, the Germans also use lignite, but the Germans will clean them, improve them, coal can be cleaned, and more than 95% of the British wash it. So how much do we wash in China? We've only washed less than half of the coal. The other half of the rest is basically hundreds of millions of tons of useless and polluting and wasteful things called ash, we just pull it, pull it by cars, pull it by trains, run all over the world, and then put it in a coal stove to burn it, it has no effect, and the result is that a lot of coal is burned by our ordinary residents, and in Chinese cities, we now have a quarter of people burning loose coal. They don't burn a lot of it, only 20%, but that 20% emits as much sulphur dioxide as all the big power plants combined, and that's it. The worst thing is that it is still very toxic. ā
