Recently, a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News received a complaint from the owners of Shenzhen Shui'an Xindu that the Longgang Central City garbage treatment plant has been emitting a foul odor since the Universiade, and residents have been affected every night. Everyone will be woken up by the stench, and many people will suffer from respiratory diseases. The reporter's on-site investigation found that in addition to the central city garbage incineration plant outside Shui'an Xindu, there are also landfills and medical waste incineration plants nearby, as well as industrial hazardous waste incineration plants and food waste treatment plants that are waiting to be put into operation. Located here. The pollution scope of these garbage treatment plants covers 15 surrounding real estates, 13 primary and secondary schools, and 18 kindergartens. Approximately hundreds of thousands of people in the three streets of Longgang, Longcheng, and Pingdi have been affected by them. Residents complained that they were "forced to take drugs collectively."

Owners of nearby properties complained

On the 16th, a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News went to Shui'an Xindu for an interview. According to an owner surnamed Zeng, the air quality is fine during the day, but at night the stench makes it impossible to sleep. "Those garbage dumps started burning garbage at night. From 8 pm to 5 am, the smell of burning garbage made people dizzy and nauseated, making it impossible to sleep. Even if the doors and windows were closed tightly and the air conditioner was turned on, the smell would not diminish."

When reporters came to interview, the owners gathered around and complained to the reporters. The reporter learned from many owners that this phenomenon lasted for about three years, mainly due to the obvious smell after the Universiade. "I moved into this community in 2009. The price was 5,000 yuan/square meter at that time. When I bought the house, Kaisa also said that there was a garbage treatment plant nearby, but the emission test was qualified. The air quality was okay at that time, but it changed a lot after the Universiade. "The owner told reporters that if the northwest wind blows and the neighborhood smells bad, if the northeast wind blows and the central city smells bad, the key is to look at the wind direction.

The reporter learned that in order to safeguard the rights and interests of the owners, an "Environmental Protection Action Group" was spontaneously established in the community. A deputy leader of the group named Ling told reporters that the purpose of its establishment was to provide owners with a healthy living environment. In less than a week, more than 5,000 people signed a petition to boycott environmental pollution. “We have reported the problem to 14 departments including the Provincial Environmental Protection Department, the Municipal Human Neighborhood Committee, and the District Environmental Protection Bureau. The government has also held three coordination meetings, but I think it has little meaning. Other than saying that it is difficult to select a site, let us be patient. Apart from waiting, there are no active measures. "

Ling said that Shui'an Xindu has good facilities and the lowest housing prices in Longgang District, currently only selling for 11,000 yuan/square meter. "But many owners have sold their houses here and moved away. Some elderly people even got lung cancer and throat cancer. Some children took them over to live in order to be filial to their parents, but the elderly had to go back to their hometowns after staying for a few days. The reason was that the place was too smelly. ”

According to reports, the air in the community improved for a few days in June, but the stench continued in July and August, and the smell was worse than before. "The low-carbon industrial city in Pingdi opened in June. In order not to affect investment, they stopped burning for a few days. Once the opening ceremony was over, the burning continued. If this continues, it will be difficult for the industrial city to do well."

Four hundred thousand people accompany the garbage community

The garbage disposal cluster is located at the junction of three streets, Longgang, Longcheng, and Pingdi. The thick smoke, odor and waste water produced seriously pollute the surrounding environment. The reporter's investigation found that there are 15 real estate properties around the garbage disposal site, including Shui'an Xindu, Zilinshan, Lily Shengshi, and Yueshan Huafu. In addition, according to relevant data, there are 13 primary and secondary schools and 18 kindergartens in this area, affecting approximately 400,000 people. Members of the "Environmental Protection Action Group" said that about 400,000 people are "forced to take drugs collectively" every day. In addition to the garbage disposal cluster, there are also a large number of plastic factories, furniture factories, adhesive factories, etc. gathered on Pingxi Road. There are chimneys of all sizes along the way.

The reporter learned that the Shenzhen International Low Carbon City with a total investment of 10.3 billion yuan is less than 2,000 meters away from the waste incineration plant; the Qinglinjing Reservoir, which supplies water to nearly one million people in Longgang District, is less than 2,000 meters away from the incineration plant; The "Honghualing Revolutionary Martyrs Park", with an investment of nearly 100 million yuan, was originally intended to be a red education base and a leisure place for citizens. It is less than 1,000 meters away from the incineration plant and is rarely visited by people; the affordable housing for more than 1,500 households is located at a distance from Xianglin Century Washington. The plant is less than 500 meters away; in addition, Xincui Yayuan, a resettlement house for Shenzhen Metro Line 3 completed as early as 2009, is less than 1,000 meters away from the incineration plant. At about 6 o'clock last night, the reporter saw that there was only one household in the community. Turn on the lights.

The people most affected are the residents of Pingxi community at the foot of the incineration plant. Mr. Liao, who runs a restaurant in Pingxi community, came to Pingxi from Guangzhou 4 years ago. "When I drive out and open the window, hundreds of flies will fly in immediately. We are too lazy to chase them away. All the flies in the house can be swept away with a broom. My son and I have discussed going back to our hometown this year."

< p> “As we have lived for a long time, the number of people suffering from rhinitis in the village has gradually increased, their body’s resistance has obviously become worse, and there have been more respiratory diseases.

"According to Xiao Weiping, the head of Pingxi Community Work Station, some people have died of lung cancer in recent years.

Pingxi Road has gathered a large number of plastic factories, furniture factories, adhesive factories, etc.

The garbage dump once promised to be the "world "Advanced"

In 1997, Pingxi Village (Party B) signed an agreement with the Central City Waste Treatment Plant Preparatory Leading Group (Party A). Article 7 of the agreement reads: Party A ensures that the world's advanced If the garbage disposal technology, equipment and processes are proven to cause pollution to Party B, Party B has the right to complain to the relevant departments and ask Party A to make rectifications. With this agreement in hand, Xiao Weiping, the director of Pingxi Community Work Station, feels helpless and unaware. Where to complain? "As a representative of the district people's congress, I make suggestions every year. In addition, the urban management and environmental protection departments have also complained, but the effect is very small. "

The reporter learned that as early as 2003, Longgang District People's Congress representative Xiao Tan'an put forward suggestions on the pollution caused by garbage incineration in Pingxi. Why has there been no change after so many years? Xiao Weiping believes that on the one hand, it is garbage On the other hand, there are issues with the capacity of the site and equipment issues. “The incineration plant can burn up to 300 tons per day, but now there are at least 1,200 tons of garbage. The remaining garbage can only be landfilled, and landfilling has the greatest impact, especially in summer. It was the rainy season, and the village was full of dark water. "The trouble goes beyond that." Xiao Weidong said, "As far as I know, the current equipment is still from the 1990s, and the incineration efficiency is very low but has not been upgraded." ”

The closest community to the waste treatment plant is Aotou Community, which is about two kilometers away in a straight line. This residential group with more than 70 households and 300 people is located in a remote area and is economically backward. Compared with other communities, Aotou The annual per capita dividend in Toucun is about 2,000 yuan. “In other places, the factory rent for the same property is 10 yuan per square meter, but Aotou Village can only rent it for 7 yuan. It took a lot of effort to lobby the boss, but soon they started clamoring to move. There are too many flies, the smell is too bad, and the economy is impossible! ”

Garbage disposal groups are gathered together

There is no worst smell, only worse smell

In order to explore the source of the odor, the reporter and three people in charge of the "Environmental Protection Action Group" People drove to the garbage disposal group to check. After a 5-minute drive, the reporter arrived at the foot of Honghualing Mountain in Pingxi Community, where the Longgang Central City garbage incineration power plant, landfill and the city's only centralized medical waste disposal center are gathered. Xiao Weiping, director of the Pingxi Community Work Station, said that except for the garbage incineration plant, which consulted the opinions of surrounding residents, the rest were located here without consulting.

The garbage incineration plant is located at the foot of the mountain. According to the incineration plant. A staff member said that the plant is under the jurisdiction of Longgang Municipal Government and was put into operation in 1997. It processes 300 to 400 tons of garbage every day and burns it 24 hours a day. It can barely finish the treatment. The remaining 700 tons of garbage are transported to the landfill on the top of the mountain. At present, the plant is undergoing equipment renovation and has not burned garbage for more than ten days. All garbage is transported to the landfill on the top of the mountain for landfill. “The odor is definitely not coming from us, each of our three treatment plants. The smells are all different. I live in Pingdi and can't smell the smell from our factory at all. Citizens come to us when they complain. It may also be caused by many companies secretly discharging wastewater. "The staff member said that the incineration plant will definitely not be moved at present.

On the hillside a few hundred meters away from the incineration plant is the Shenzhen Medical Waste Centralized Disposal Center. It was put into operation at the end of 2005 and is the only one in Shenzhen. The medical waste treatment plant burns medical waste generated by major hospitals in Shenzhen every day. When reporters arrived, billowing white smoke came out of the chimney of the plant. According to the person in charge of the center, surnamed Wang, the center is operated by Shenzhen Habitat. The commission authorizes about 30 tons of medical waste to be processed every day, and the actual processing capacity is close to the load. “The exhaust gas monitoring in recent years has been qualified.” “The white smoke coming out of the chimney is actually the steam generated by the neutralization of alkali and water, not exhaust gas. . What citizens are most worried about is whether dioxins can be removed, but all our processes comply with environmental protection requirements. ”

Later, the reporter went to the landfill at the top of the mountain. Although the car windows were closed, he still smelled a strong putrid smell in the car. An open-air garbage dump covers an area of ??nearly 1,000 square meters. Square meters, two bulldozers were working hard, and there were swarms of flies and rats under the wheels. The driver who came to dump the garbage was unwilling to get out of the car, so he dumped the garbage and left immediately. The first phase had been filled from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It was sealed with plastic sheets, but it did not block the smell at all. Several pipes directly discharged the methane generated by the garbage pile into the atmosphere without any treatment.

The reporter saw the landfill at the foot of the mountain. The garbage at the site (Phase I) has been piled more than 30 meters high. The rainwater flows down the garbage pile in a black shape and emits a foul smell. It flows directly into the Dingshan River through the flood drainage channel and then into the Longgang River. People traveling with the community told reporters. The stench was the same as this. The last time I came to check, there were no flood drains and all the sewage was flowing everywhere. The reporter saw at the scene that in addition to the above three garbage disposal sites, there were industrial hazardous waste incineration plants and restaurants. A waste treatment plant is also under preparation here.

The reporter sent a letter to the Longgang District Environmental Protection and Water Conservancy Bureau on the morning of the 17th regarding related issues. However, as of the time of publication, there was still no reply.
