Illegal disposal of used batteries can constitute a crime of environmental pollution
A few days ago, the People’s Procuratorate of Licheng District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province arrested three suspects. In the past year, they acquired more than 1,699 tons of used batteries and handled 565 tons of their own, suspected of environmental pollution. It is reported that this is the first case of environmental pollution in Jinhua City. The three men came from Linquan County, Anhui Province. As early as June 2012, they set up an acquisition department in the urban area. Without the relevant qualification permit, they began to illegally dispose of used batteries. He was investigated by the Environmental Protection Bureau for polluting the environment. One of them, Huang, was detained for five days, but he did not repent. Instead, he moved the acquisition department to Xituntou Village in Sumeng Township to return to his old business. They will collect the used batteries, first use the electric drill to punch the acid-containing parts, and then put the battery on the concrete platform for drainage, so that the waste will flow into a large plastic bucket with the water channel, then pour Into a collection pool. Hwang learned through the Internet that he could neutralize the acid with lime and alkali, so he used this method to put the alkali and lime into the collection tank and neutralize it in a certain proportion after the collection tank was full. After eating dinner, Hwang opened a small water pump and pulled it directly into the sewer on the side of the road with a water pipe. The water in the pool was drained by a water pump, and the waste acid liquid was discharged directly into the ditch. They have been using this homemade method to treat the acid until July 16 this year, which was discovered by the Environmental Protection Agency. According to the sampling analysis of the Jinhua Environmental Testing Center, the pH of the ground leakage liquid on the north side of the waste acid liquid collection tank and the ground leakage liquid on the south side of the plant are all less than 1, and the lead content of heavy metals exceeds the national sewage discharge standard by more than three times. In just one year, the three people bought more than 1,699 tons of used batteries, of which more than 565 tons of batteries were treated with acid. Huang police officer handling the case told the reporter: "Their acquisition department is a very simple and simple factory on Dongyang Street. Every night, the acid water is discharged into the sewer on the west side of the factory. These sour waters emit a pungent sour smell. The detected PH value is 2.66, and these acid water will flow into the Li River along the rainwater, which is very polluting to the environment."
