Chapter 164 (2/2)

Looking at the disgusting situation of Bailong River, I was thinking that most citizens in Jiangcheng were drinking tap water after such water treatment

Zhou Xiao felt a chill.

There is another important reason for taking sewage in rural areas.

There are many kinds and quantities of bacteria in rural sewage, such as Escherichia coli and so on.

Zhou Xiao wanted to know whether these bacteria had an impact on digestive bacteria.

This effect involves not only the survival of digestive bacteria, but also whether digestive bacteria will mutate under the influence of other colonies.

Butcher Xiao didn't know Zhou Xiao's identity. He thought Zhou Xiao and his team were sent by the city to investigate the water source and prepare to help the village deal with sewage and garbage.

Butcher Xiao asked with concern, ”little brother, what can you do to solve the problems in our village! There are several new cancers in our village every year, and several people die of cancer every year. I remember I didn't have so many cancers when I was a child. I don't know why there are so many in recent years. Let's say that my separated second brother, Zhang, was young and only in his forties. He was in the advanced stage of liver cancer and left last year. My father, who also has liver cancer, left years ago. ”

Butcher Xiao was followed by the old man who was watching the excitement and said:

”Isn't it? Zhang Laoer, his brother Zhang Laosan, was also diagnosed with cancer last year. It seems to be esophageal cancer. It's just 40. ”

”Sister Wang is still cancer, gastric cancer...”

Just say it casually, there are seven or eight cancer patients.

Mo Li said in surprise, ”so many cancers?”

Although there is a trend of mass and young age of cancer due to environment, living habits and other reasons, so many cancers are still very rare in a village.

This may explain a problem. The environment in the village must be polluted.

But can domestic sewage pollute the environment?

Zhou Xiao doesn't think so, nor do Mo Li and others.

Domestic sewage is absolutely impossible to cause cancer. There must be a cancer source in the village.

When people came to the white dragon river, they found the answer.

Why is the Bailong River so smelly and pungent? It's the factory on the other side of the village.

Jiangcheng is an old industrial city. Although there are new and old industrial areas and most factories are concentrated in the industrial areas, there are still scattered factories in the vast rural areas.

These factories are generally built in rural areas to reduce costs and avoid environmental protection and taxes. Most of them are furniture factories, leather shoes factories, fiberboard factories and other high pollution and high energy consumption enterprises.

These enterprises have existed locally for many years. Even the boss is local people, and many people in the village are still working there. Therefore, everyone turns a blind eye to whether there are procedures and violations.

The small workshop factory has no compliant sewage treatment equipment at all, and the sewage is discharged directly.

The furniture and leather goods industry uses the most chemicals and the most serious pollution. These things are discharged directly, such as the Bailong River.

As far as Zhou Xiaomu could see, the factory stretched out several pipes into the river, and the sewage with white or yellow bubbles was directly discharged.

These sewage mixed with the water of Bailong River flows down the river. Maybe it is diverted by the diversion canal built by farmers in downstream villages to irrigate crops, or it is directly sent to the water plant for treatment and sent to thousands of households.

Moreover, part of the sewage has also become an underground water system along the deep riverbed. Many households in the village should be using groundwater.

Butcher Shaw asked hopefully, ”are you here to investigate pollution? When will the sewage in our village be solved? ”
