277 Environmental protection
"No, this workshop can't be put into production!"
Li Hui, deputy director of the Department of Internal Medicine of the First People's Hospital of Dangyang City, stood in the middle of the circuit board dismantling workshop and said to Lin Zhenhua with a serious face. Since the incident of Lang Dong's poisoning, Lin Zhenhua has put the issue of labor protection in an important position in the company. At the invitation of Lin Zhenhua, Li Nang, who is a mother-in-law and a tofu heart, was hired as the company's senior health consultant, responsible for guiding the company's employee health care work, as well as labor protection work in the production process.
After the circuit board dismantling workshop was completed, Lin Zhenhua invited Li Hui to the work site to assess the pollution problem. Li Hui took a few food units for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: the pollution is serious and cannot be put into production.
The dismantling process of the circuit board is to first clean the waste circuit board with an intrinsic solution to wash off the dirt on it. Then use an electric soldering iron to remove the solder from the component and separate the component from the circuit board. Workers on the production line then use tweezers to remove the components one by one and sort them into trays.
After the dismantling work is completed, someone needs to test the disassembled components to determine if they are damaged. All components that pass the test can be reused in the production of electronic devices. Modern society generates a large amount of e-waste, and it costs nothing to recycle it, and there is even a waste disposal fee. And the components obtained from dismantling this e-waste are highly valuable, so this business can be described as a lucrative one.
At that time, the quality of domestic electronic components was not up to standard, and some high-end components were not self-sufficient. By dismantling foreign waste circuit boards, a large number of high-quality and scarce components can be obtained, and its significance cannot be simply measured by goldfish. However, the contamination generated by dismantling the circuit board is also very serious, and the solder and flux used in the soldering process have certain toxicity, and during the dismantling process, these toxic substances are heated and evaporated, which can cause serious damage to the operator's body.
In those days, there were not many people who could realize the harm of this environment, but Lin Hua and the group of returnees in his hands had this awareness. After Lin Zhenhua proposed to build a circuit board dismantling workshop, Xiang Zhe talked with him very seriously, and the core content was how to protect the rights and interests of employees in the process of developing the industry. Xiang Zhe raised this matter to the height of corporate social responsibility, so that Lin Zhenhua did not shy away. In order to eliminate the pollution in the workshop, Lin Zhenhua invested hundreds of thousands of yuan to install air filtration, dust removal and other equipment in the workshop, which has reduced the pollution to a very low level. However, even at such a low level, in Li Hui's eyes, it is still a poisonous operation and is intolerable.
"Sister Li, are your standards a little too high?" Lin Zhenhua asked. In fact, according to Li Hui's age, Lin Zhenhua should call Li Hui an aunt.
"Xiaolin, do you know that this kind of circuit board dismantling project is not allowed to be carried out in developed countries at all." Li Hui said. She has read a lot of foreign language journals and knows a lot about international health standards. Lin Zhenhua nodded again and again: "Of course I know." Because of this, there will be so many waste circuit boards flowing to us, Sister Li, don't you know, the components on these circuit boards, teacher baby. ”
"What's wrong with the baby? Isn't human life and health comparable to the value of these components? Li Hui glared and reprimanded. Lin Zhenhua said: "It is precisely because I know this that I have invested heavily in governance. You see, there is a special ventilation equipment above the assembly line, which sucks the exhaust gas generated during the heating process and sends it to the treatment device for purification. Now the pollution level of our workshop is definitely the lowest among other similar workshops in China. ”
"I admit it." Lee Hui Dao. "But even so, as I have just measured, your attempts at cadmium, lead, arsenic and other elements in the air in this workshop exceed the standard by more than ten times. Workers working in such an environment for a long time can lead to chronic poisoning. ”
"What then?" Lin Hua asked.
Li Hui looked at the equipment in the workshop, sighed and said: "Xiaolin, you have already set up such a big stall, and now I ask you to dismount this project, I'm afraid you won't accept it, right?" I really can't figure out this kind of industry that has been eliminated in Western countries. Why are our Chinese companies so enthusiastic? Lin Zhenhua said: "It's very simple, it's because our country is poor." "No matter how poor you are, the value of human life is the same. Li Hui said.
Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "Sister Li, I want to ask you a question, you work in the hospital, have you ever met a patient who gave up treatment because of lack of money?" ”
Li Hui was stunned for a moment, nodded studently, and said, "Yes, some patients, if they can use some high-grade **, they can be saved." However, they can't afford to use such a **, and we can only die in a few years. Sometimes, we doctors are eager to pay for them ourselves, but there are many patients here. Relying on our doctors' voluntary donations, we can't help a few people. ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "That's right, give you 10,000 yuan, let you buy these high-priced **, you can save the lives of one or even several patients, so the value of their lives is 10,000 yuan, or even thousands of yuan." Sister Li, are you right?"
Li Hui was silent, as a doctor, her duty is to save lives and help the wounded, she never thought that human life actually has a price. She had to admit that what Lin Zhenhua said sounded cruel, but it was the truth. She had seen many times when a patient was forced to abandon treatment because he could not afford the high cost of medical care. Although the employees of state-owned units have publicly-funded medical treatment or Rong medical treatment, the high price ** cannot be reimbursed. Sometimes, if you use a few cents a piece of ordinary antibiotics to treat a disease that cannot be cured, you can solve the problem by replacing an imported antibiotic for a few tens of yuan. But how many families can afford this import**? Who said that there is no way to live, because if there is a lack of a few hundred or a few thousand yuan, a living life will disappear, this is the price of life.
"Xiaolin, you're right. I've been in Africa, where one can save a life. However, the people there were so poor that they could not get a penicillin. It is not easy for people there to live to be 30 years old, because the medical conditions are too poor. Li Hui said. Lin Zhenhua said: "Sister Li, you understand now, money is not everything, but no money is everything." To make the people healthy. This is a contradiction. ”
"However, without pollution, you can also develop the economy, you look at the Western countries." Li Hui retorted. Lin Zhenhua said: "We don't have their technology. If there is that kind of industry that is clean and has high added value, Western countries will definitely hold it in their hands, and with our current strength, we simply cannot compete with them. As a country that looks down on us, we can only choose this dirty and tiring industry. ”
The relationship between economic development and pollution avoidance has been widely discussed in later generations. The girl who speaks without backache thinks that it is better not to have pollution than to be polluted, otherwise it is a big rebellion. For such a point of view, Lin Zhenhua is unacceptable. African examples are not polluted anymore, but are African people living happily? The cult of GDP is wrong, but without GDP, what do you do to improve people's lives and improve people's welfare?
Even if it is cheap, Western countries have not been able to live such a comfortable life from the beginning, and their prosperity today is also based on yesterday's hardships. London was once the capital of fog, and Chicago and Birmingham were old industrial bases, which were once hell on earth with chimneys and smoke. This is a price that no country can avoid. "If you say that, we're all going to have to do this dirty, tiring work?" Li Hui asked. Lin Zhenhua said: "Don't worry, Sister Li, this is just a process." I assure you that in 20 years at most, we will be able to sit on an equal footing with the West, and at that time, we will also be able to resolutely refrain from polluting industries in the most important position. But before we can do that, we have to endure it all. Li Hui shook his head helplessly and said, "Xiaolin, I found that you always have a set of sayings. I don't know if you're right or not, but as a doctor, I can't allow you to work in such an environment for a long time. ”
Lin Zhenhua said with a bitter face: "Sister Li, I said it for a long time, and I said it in vain?" Li Hui thought for a while and said, "It's not that it's not completely out of the question. I would like to make two requests, and if you can fulfill these two requirements, I think the damage to the workers in this workshop will be minimized. ”
"No problem, don't say two requirements, 100 requirements are fine." Lin Zhenhua said confidently. Li Hui said: "The first requirement is that all workers must wear special masks during the period, and there must be activated carbon in the interlayer of the mask to adsorb toxic substances in the air. ”
"Absolutely." Lin Zhenhua said, "If needed, I can go to Qiufeng for a batch of gas masks." ”
"Gas masks aren't necessary." Li Hui laughed, and her eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc. She is generally quite satisfied with Lin Zhenhua, Hanhua Heavy Industry's labor protection is the best in the enterprises in Xunyang City, Lin Zhenhua is the executive vice president of the country, and he personally stands here to discuss labor protection issues with her, which is very rare.
"Second, the working hours of workers should be strictly limited. Workers per shift may not work more than 20 hours per year, and no more than 20 hours per week. Lin Zhenhua nodded: "This is no problem, I will let them work in this workshop in the first half, and change the type of work in the second half." ”
"Third ......," Li Hui continued.
"Sister Li, didn't you say that there are only two conditions?" Lin Zhenhua asked with a smile.
Li Huidao: "This is not a condition, just a suggestion." You should classify the work in this workshop as toxic and pay the workers a health allowance. In addition, it is recommended that workers working in this workshop should often eat pig blood, mung beans, etc. These are all helpful in detoxification. Also, every three months, you put them through a full medical check-up, and if they find signs of poisoning, they can't continue to work.
"Okay, I'll take it all." Lin Zhenhua happily responded. ”
