China poisoning Pearl River Delta: Greenpeace

(AFP) – 9 hours ago

HONG KONG — Factories in southern China are poisoning the Pearl River Delta, an area where almost one-third of the country's exports are made, Greenpeace said in a report Wednesday.

The environmental group said it analysed 25 samples of wastewater discharge from several industrial sites and found a "diverse range of hazardous chemicals," including heavy metals associated with causing brain damage.

"What is very disturbing is that, once released, it is almost impossible to remove these hazardous substances from the environment," said Kevin Brigden, a scientist at the group's research laboratories.

The river -- China's third-longest -- and its surrounding area will suffer irreversible damage if the government doesn't impose strict environmental regulations on the manufacturing heartland, Greenpeace said.

Local companies should also cut their use of hazardous chemicals, the report said.

"'Made in China' products used by consumers worldwide are being manufactured at a high cost to the Pearl River," said Edward Chan, campaign manager for Greenpeace China.

"If the results of our sampling are any indication of what factories in general are doing in China, then China's waters are in deep trouble."

Critics have also called for a clamp down on air pollution from the region's factories, which has been blamed for covering nearby cities, including Hong Kong, with a blanket of smog.

國際環保團體「綠色和平組織」（Greenpeace）

　　環保團體綠色和平組織(Greenpeace)28日公佈一份報告指出，中國南方的工廠正在毒害珠江三角洲，中國全國近三分之一的出口產品在珠三角生產。

　　綠色和平說，他們分析25處來自數個工業區的廢水排放採樣，其中發現「多種有害化學物」，包括可能損害腦部的重金屬。

　　綠色和平組織研究實驗室的科學家布瑞格登(Kevin Brigden)說，這讓他們感到非常不安，這些有害物質一旦釋放到自然環境中，幾乎不可能消除。

　　綠色和平組織說，珠江為中國第三大河川，如果政府不在此執行嚴格的環境法規，珠江及其週邊地區將遭受無法復原的傷害。

　　綠色和平組織的報告說，當地公司也必須減少有毒化學物的使用。
