The morning newspaper reported that the environmental assessment of Anqing Fengyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. was carried out without review and approval, and the company擅自 produced formaldehyde. On April 25, the Huaining County Work Safety Supervision Bureau stopped its production. However, on April 28, when the same work safety supervision law enforcement officers came to the enterprise for an interview, they found that the company was still in violation of regulations and continued production.
Residents: Worried about poisoning
"We residents living around the chemical plant can smell the stench every day. We reported it to the Huaining Environmental Protection and Work Safety Supervision departments, and after the report, it stopped for a few days before starting production again." On April 27, Mr. Cha, who lived near Huaining Anqing Fengyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., said standing in his own yard: "It is said that formaldehyde is highly toxic, and we are afraid that we will be poisoned if we keep smelling this pungent odor for a long time."
Mr. Cha said: "Anqing Fengyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. started producing formaldehyde at the beginning of this year, and after our reports, the formaldehyde project was suspended. But in March this year, this factory started producing formaldehyde again, and each time after reporting, it would stop for a few days before resuming production."
In Mr. Cha's yard, a choking smell could be smelled. Another resident surnamed Huang living around the chemical plant told that his wife suffers from bronchial asthma, and she is worried that her condition will worsen due to the unpleasant smell, so she has to take refuge at a relative's home for a while.
Factory: Finish using raw materials before moving
On April 28, I went to the Huaining County Work Safety Supervision Bureau, fed back and verified this information. The law enforcement officers said that due to various factors, Fengyuan Chemical cannot continue production in Huaining. The company has decided to relocate and severely punish enterprises; recently, the Work Safety Supervision Bureau also received public complaints about its violation of regulations in production. On April 25, the Work Safety Supervision department issued a 'Compulsory Measures Decision Letter' prohibiting its production.
At my request, the Work Safety Supervision law enforcement officers conducted an inspection of the enterprise together, and the result was that the enterprise was indeed in violation of regulations and continued production. According to the production manager of the enterprise, the reason they continued production after receiving the 'Compulsory Measures Decision Letter' was because the raw materials were inconvenient to move elsewhere for production. They intended to produce the raw materials into products for easier empty factory relocation. Currently, the enterprise still has 2000 tons of raw materials, with daily production consuming more than 60 tons.
This manager said that according to their production capacity, their enterprise would need to produce for more than a month to convert all the raw materials into products.
Department: Must unconditionally shut down
Regarding the illegal production actions of Fengyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., a person in charge of the Huaining County Work Safety Supervision Bureau said: "The Work Safety Supervision Department issuing the 'Compulsory Measures Decision Letter' is a compulsory measure. Fengyuan Chemical must unconditionally shut down and accept handling."
It is understood that to prevent the company from secretly resuming production, relevant departments have notified the power supply company to implement power cuts. The County Work Safety Supervision Bureau also ordered Fengyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. to immediately cease production and accept investigation and handling by the Work Safety Supervision Department.
