Cancer villages's China case.
September 20 13, before entering Meilin Village, yongningzhen, shishi city, this fishing village had been covered with stench for many years.
What is more terrible than bad smell is cancer. In fact, when the first ray of sunshine in the 2nd/kloc-0th century shines into this fishing village, almost every year, people in the village get cancer or die of cancer. Since 2008, 49 people in this fishing village with more than 4,600 villagers have suffered from cancer, and 35 of them have died.
The disaster continues. Five or six villagers in this village have been diagnosed with cancer, and the number of villagers diagnosed with cancer in the village has reached 14, of which 9 are under 50.
Shaoxing County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province
According to public information, there are * * textile industrial clusters 164 in China, with more than 50,000 textile factories, mainly concentrated in the eastern and southeast coastal areas. Shaoxing county in Shaoxing city is one of them. There are more than 9,000 textile enterprises here, accounting for about 30% of the national printing and dyeing capacity, so it is also called "the city built on cloth".
However, this huge contributor to GDP has become the chief culprit of the vicious change of water towns. The planning area of Shaoxing Binhai Industrial Zone is 100 square kilometers, and there are many "cancer villages" in and around the area.
It is not a city in Shaoxing that groans, but also villagers in the Linjiang Industrial Park in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, where textile and related chemical enterprises are also gathered.
Further east of the sewage outlet of Shaoxing Binhai Industrial Zone, many villagers in Daowei Town, Shangyu City, Shaoxing reported that they also have "cancer villages". Where chemical enterprises drive, "cancer villages" appears.
To the east of Shangyu in Cixi, Ningbo, with the completion of Hangzhou Bay Bridge, the industrial park has gradually expanded, forming a special printing and dyeing area. The feedback from the people there is that because of the discharge of pollutants, seafood production has decreased and the taste has deteriorated, and people are worried about following the footsteps of the upstream.
Wuli village, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou
Wuli village, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, has changed from a beautiful and enviable village to a "cancer villages" where girls talk about marriage in less than 20 years.
There are more than 1 000 villagers in wuli village. With the expansion of urbanization, they gradually live with the nearby Zheshan Street. According to official data, wuli village Nanyang Economic and Technological Development Zone was established in June 1992, and was approved as a provincial development zone in June 1994. It can be said that wuli village's nightmare began here. At least 20 chemical enterprises have settled in the industrial park, covering printing and dyeing, pharmaceutical and other chemical fields.
Hongshan Village, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou
As for the statement of "cancer villages", Hongshan Village, which is a little far from wuli village, is recognized as the "head kui" in cancer villages, although the official still does not recognize the statement of "cancer villages".
The incidence of cancer in Hongshan village is higher than that in wuli village, because the village is far from the chemical industry zone. In the 1990s, when villagers in Wuli fought against pollution, the villagers in Hongshan village thought that environmental pollution would not affect them, so they still ate well water, watered rice and vegetables with inland water, and ate the harvested crops themselves. It was not until around 2008 that Hongshan village was connected with tap water, but it was too late. "I didn't realize it at the time, and now I have entered a period of high incidence of cancer." Shao gave a wry smile. "Fortunately, we started early in wuli village, otherwise cancer is more serious than it is now."
Further investigation by Xinmin Weekly found that there are many "cancer villages" like wuli village and Hongshan Village in Xiaoshan Linjiang Industrial Park and the surrounding Dangwan Town. According to the requirements of the environmental protection department, the industrial sewage in the park is concentrated in Xiaoshan Linjiang Sewage Treatment Plant, which also treats the domestic sewage of 1 1 surrounding towns.
Sanjiang Village, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province
Sanjiang Village is a famous "cancer villages" in Shaoxing. Of course, the local government does not recognize this statement. Sanjiang Village is almost a copy of wuli village. Similarly, surrounded by chemical enterprises such as printing and dyeing, water, soil and air are polluted, young people "escape", and migrant workers and local elderly people stay behind.
Lin Zhangmu, a 66-year-old village doctor, insisted on a free clinic in the village after retirement. He has accumulated quite a lot of experience because he has much contact with cancer patients. When encountering some suspicious cases, he directly suggested that the patient's family members be sent to a large hospital for tumor examination. As far as he knows, at least 80 people in this village of more than 5,000 people died of cancer. "There are many things I don't know. Everyone in the village said that this is cancer villages. "
Xin 'er Village, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province
Along Binhai Avenue and further into the industrial park, there are more printing and dyeing enterprises. The most representative Xiner Village is surrounded by a strong chemical smell, but the villagers have become accustomed to it and can't smell it. The inland rivers around Xin 'er Village have all been polluted by industrial sewage, which has become poisonous water in the eyes of villagers, and "a rash will break out when you touch your hands".
On May 8th, 20 12, a 300-400-meter-long river in Xin 'er Village was instantly dyed red "blood river" because the pipeline of a printing and dyeing factory in Binhai Industrial Park burst, and faded two days later.
At present, the people living in Xiner Village are mainly workers from other places. Uncle Guo, a villager, revealed that Xiner Village was also regarded as "cancer villages". Surface water is polluted and groundwater is inedible. The villagers are guarding the water but worrying about it.
Hezuitou Village, Shangzhou District, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province

The water supply in the village is regular water supply every day, and sometimes there is no water. The well drilled by the villagers is about 6 meters deep, but the water quality is turbid. According to He Zhihua, the village party secretary, "At the worst, the crops in Hezuitou village can't live, and even the animals don't want to drink the water pumped from their own wells. I couldn't grow vegetables or anything at that time. They are all dead, and their roots are rotten. Both the municipal CDC and the district environmental protection bureau have taken water samples, and I don't know what the result is.
Luliang county, Qujing, Yunnan
From May 2007 to July 20 1 1, luliang county Municipal Health Bureau organized the relevant staff of county CDC, county health supervision bureau and Xiaobaihu Town Health Center for many times to conduct a retrospective epidemiological investigation on the health status of residents of Xinglong Village Committee in Xiaobaihu Town and provide public health services.
In terms of public health services, during the period of 20 10-20 1 1, * * 132 elderly people over 65 received health checks, 29 pregnant women received systematic management, 234 children received health checks, and 3,724 people (including foreigners) collected health information. There are 3,563 people in the village, including 208 with hypertension, 28 with type II diabetes and 8 with severe mental illness.

Shibao Village, Dainan Town, xinghua city City, Jiangsu Province
According to incomplete statistics, in Dainan Town, Xinghua, in the past two or three years, 60 or 70 people have suffered from cancer, and quite a few of them died unfortunately. The villagers once mistakenly thought it was Feng Shui, and the villagers in Shibao Village had a high incidence of cancer. Bao Xizhuang, an old man in the west of the village, blamed it on "the destruction of Feng Shui".
The main reason is that dozens of heavy metal enterprises surrounded Shibao Village.
When investigating the heavy metal enterprises around Shibao Village, it was found that some small scrap metal business households directly piled up the purchased scrap metal in the streets and alleys of Shibao Village, while some villagers were still washing vegetables, rice and clothes in the water while knowing that the water quality of Xitangkou River was polluted. He Mou (pseudonym) is also the owner of a local waste stainless steel workshop. When talking about the high incidence of cancer among villagers in Shibao Village, he said without hesitation that he and dozens of other business owners have an unshirkable responsibility for the environmental pollution in Shibao Village.

About ten years ago, this beautiful village was gradually shrouded in the shadow of various diseases caused by water pollution. There are more than 2,400 people in Maggie Huang village, and 80% of the young people suffer from enteritis all the year round. Most couples of childbearing age have lost their fertility and the population has experienced negative growth. Deformity and dementia are common, and there has not been a qualified soldier for more than ten years; There are more than 20 families with more than two cancer patients, and two families died of cancer, making the village a veritable "cancer villages". There are many disabled people and other difficult diseases in Maggie Huang village, among which 4/kloc-0 people are blind, deaf-mute and physically disabled. The polluted Sha Ying River has white foam floating on the water. The water is black and the smell is suffocating. Students have to wear masks in class and drill a well more than ten meters deep. It tastes strange and bitter. It is extremely difficult for residents on both sides of the strait to drink water.
The main pollutants in Shaying River are hydrogen sulfide and dioxins. Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic asphyxiating gas, and dioxin has a strong carcinogenic and lethal effect. Water pollution is the root cause of cancer epidemic in Maggie Huang village. Water quality monitoring shows that Shaying River is inferior to five types of water, which has no use value. It can neither be used for industry nor agricultural irrigation, nor can it be used as a public drinking water source. In the Huaihe River Basin, a widely circulated ballad sang the stabbing pain in the hearts of the children of Huaihe River: "Washing rice and vegetables in the 1950s, washing clothes and irrigating in the 1960s, deteriorating water quality in the 1970s, fish and shrimp dying in the 1980s, and diarrhea causing cancer in the 1990s ...". What a sad swan song this is!

Since 2000, 37 villagers have died of cancer in 10. In the past year, four more villagers were diagnosed with cancer. There is no chemical plant near the village, and the black water from the garbage dump flows into the village along the small ditch in the mountain. Now the attitude of the county government is very tough, because many years ago, the village committee signed a contract with the county government and other relevant departments to dump the garbage in Liangtingling near Qutan Village, without any treatment facilities, and the relevant departments compensated the village committee for a certain fee every year, but the villagers never knew that such a contract existed and did not know where the money went. Former village party secretary also died of cancer. Now all village cadres live in the county seat, not in the village. They come to work in the village during the day on weekdays and return to their residence in the county after work.

In Lu Qian, a small village of more than 2,000 people, hundreds of people have died in recent years. Such figures cannot attract the attention of all departments. I wonder if anyone has made a decision for those poor people.
Laizhou city
The incidence of cancer in Haicang Village 1, Haicang Village 2, Haicang Village 3 and Li Jiacun in Laizhou City is several times higher than the normal level. In recent years, the number of cancer patients admitted to these villages has obviously increased, which is a typical "cancer villages".
In May 2009, Laizhou City, Shandong Province was officially named as "China Longevity Town" by China Gerontology Society, which is the tenth city in China, the first city in Shandong Province to receive this honor, and the first longevity town in northern China. Nowadays, the increasingly serious chemical pollution makes some local villages become "cancer villages", and many cancer patients use their lives to warn the deterioration of the ecological environment in the south bank of Laizhou Bay. In the face of the interview, the chairman of the sewage company said that the villagers were "making a fuss and talking nonsense".
Jiuhu Town, zouping county
Zouping, Shandong Province is one of the top 100 counties in the country in terms of basic competitiveness of county economy, and the other is a cancer village, which is shrouded in poisonous gas.

The waste gas emitted by the factory has reached the tolerance limit of local villagers. The villagers were very angry and said that if there were explosives, they would use them to blow up Kaiyuan Chemical.
In fact, the present situation of Limin Village in jiuhu is not a case. According to the Shandong Provincial Environmental Protection Department, there are 14 enterprises that have environmental violations such as using ditches, pits and ponds to store and discharge waste water without anti-leakage measures or with imperfect anti-leakage measures.

The investigation found that cancer originated from radioactive toxic water pollution in Baotou Steel. The water leaked from the tailings dam also prevented the crops from growing on the land in the surrounding villages. 10 77 people died of cancer.
Zengfeng Village, Caojing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai
Group KLOC-0/Jinshan District, Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, Caojing Town and Zengfeng Village, Shanghai.
Since 2003, a large-scale open-air garbage dump has been built on the beach, with no garbage disposal measures and completely exposed. Residents nearby are 500 meters away from the garbage dump in a straight line, and even villagers several kilometers away will smell the stench every day.
From 2006 to the end of 2008, there were 1 group, 2 groups, 13 group and 15 group in Zengfeng village. In just three years, more than 30 people died of cancer. This has never happened since Zengfeng Village was built.
At present, the compensation given by the garbage dump to the villagers is that in July, August and September, each person can't go to 900 yuan in 3 yuan every day, and 2 yuan every day in the rest of the year.
The villagers agreed that money compensation can never change the physical and mental harm caused by garbage pollution, stinking air and groundwater pollution.
At the end of 2007, the villagers collectively stopped dumping the garbage dump, but it did not stop after Director Lu of the District Letters and Calls Office promised that the garbage dump would be relocated in June 2008. But now it's March 2009, and half a year has passed, but things have not been solved yet.
In addition, the environmental pollution in Songjiang area of Shanghai has a great relationship with local plastic processing enterprises. The specific solution is not very clear.
