Cancer villages is a group disease in Chinese mainland after the reform and opening up. Due to environmental pollution, most of them drank untreated sewage discharged by upstream enterprises, which led to a large-scale cancer outbreak in a village. After the academic circles and the media in China alleged that the cancer incidence rate of residents in the polluted areas remained high for many years, the people of China and the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the China government finally acknowledged the existence of China "cancer villages" for the first time in the official document of February 201March. China folklore experts estimate that if unofficial data are included, there are about 459 cancer villages in Chinese mainland, and it is gradually spreading to the central and western parts of China.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection has publicly released the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Chemical Environmental Risk Prevention and Control (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), which shows that the situation of chemical pollution prevention and control in China is very severe.
According to the plan, China has 3? More than a thousand kinds of chemicals have serious harm to human health and ecological environment; Some areas even have serious health and social problems, such as "cancer villages".
According to the plan, during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, China will comprehensively prevent and control chemical pollution; According to the plan, 58 chemicals in three categories will be identified as the key prevention and control targets of environmental risks during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period.
According to the plan, China is still producing and using some toxic and harmful chemicals that have been banned or restricted by developed countries. These chemicals often have environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, genetic developmental toxicity and endocrine disruption, which cause long-term or potential harm to human health and ecological environment.
There is no official explanation about the formation of "cancer villages", but from the existing reports, it is not difficult to find that the formation of "cancer villages" is mostly closely related to modern industrial pollution. Among them, it is most closely related to the pollution caused by chemical plants, printing and dyeing plants, paper mills, pharmaceutical factories, leather factories, alcohol factories, power plants, lime kilns and other industrial production.
For example, Huaidian section of Shaying River (where shenqiu county is located), 1990, 1994, and 2000 are all inferior to Grade V water quality, and have lost various water functions. According to the weekly water quality monitoring report published by China National Environmental Monitoring Center, in 2005 and 2006, the water quality of this section was Grade IV twice, and the rest was Grade V or worse. The water quality in the 20th week and 2nd120th week of 2007 was also worse than Grade V.. The contents of potassium permanganate and ammonia nitrogen in water are several times higher than the standard of Class III water.
