Fengyang County, which is famous for its Xiaogang Village and Fengyang Huagu, is also known as the “Quartz County†because of its quartz stone reserves of 10 billion tons. Due to the high grade of quartz stone in Fengyang County, there is market demand, which has stimulated the rise of a large number of small family workshops that have become rich through processing quartz stone. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 480 quartz sand processing enterprises in Fengyang County, Anhui Province. Beginning in the second half of 2004, local villagers in Shuifu County, Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province began to work in the sand and gravel factory in Guangou Township, Fengyang County, mainly engaged in crushing sand and gravel. Since the beginning of 2006, some villagers who came back from work began to experience chest tightness, chest pain, cough, and difficulty breathing. In the last year or two, patients have developed a variety of complications, and finally people who died of pulmonary heart disease and respiratory failure began to appear. In just over two years, 12 young men were killed in three villages. Because there is no money to heal, there are still more than 30 men in the village who have the disease. What kind of diseases are these migrant workers returning to their hometowns? One of the sick villagers went to the Beijing Grand Hospital in June for a comprehensive inspection. It was not until the doctor of the authoritative occupational disease institute diagnosed the pneumoconiosis occupational disease that they understood that the so-called strange disease was awkward.
After the death of the returning migrant workers in Yunnan, the Ministry of Health notified the State Administration of Safety Supervision, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the National Federation of Trade Unions. Not long ago, the investigation team composed of the above departments rushed to Fengyang County to investigate the incident. These family workshops are simple and sturdy. When they are produced, the dust is flying, and even a thick layer of white ash is placed on the roofs on both sides of the road. Since these workshops do not have industrial and commercial registration, and there is no professional operation workshop, it is difficult to supervise. When the people of the Environmental Protection Agency came, they stopped, and when they left, they started production again. Some companies also secretly produce at night.
In fact, the government of Chenzhou City and Fengyang County carried out planning and demonstration on how to develop Fengyang quartz stone many years ago, and introduced more than 30 glass and product processing enterprises with a certain scale. Fan Dijun, the county magistrate of Fengyang County, told the reporter that after the incident came out, Fengyang County closed all the unlicensed operation workshops and dismantled the processing equipment and workshops of the illegal production workshops in accordance with relevant regulations. For the certified enterprises to suspend production and rectification, and the relevant eight standards have been formulated in accordance with national laws, and the production is allowed only after the standards are met. The county also plans a processing industrial park near the quartz stone mine, and the enterprises that meet the standards will enter the industrial park for standardized production. Fan Dijun told reporters that in February this year, Chenzhou City and Handan Glass Industrial Design Institute signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement in Hefei, and the two sides will jointly create a 100 billion yuan silicon industry base in Zhangzhou (Fengyang). In April, the Fengyang County People's Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sinoma Group. The purpose of introducing these advantageous enterprises is to make the development of quartz stone resources in Fengyang County a standardized, orderly and efficient road.
On May 17, Anhui Provincial Governor Wang Sanyun emphasized that during the signing ceremony of the strategic cooperation agreement between Sinoma Group and Anhui Provincial People's Government, for a period of time, due to the existence of rapid water flow in the development of non-metallic minerals, the formation In the case of turbulent water, the ecological environment has deteriorated extremely, the people have not made a profit, and the local governments have not received the rewards they deserve. To change this situation, it is necessary to carry out orderly mining and standardized management of non-metallic minerals, and it is necessary to introduce powerful strategic investors.
Fengyang quartz stone mining needs to be scaled up
According to recent media reports, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, which is known as “Big Bagu†and “Fengyang Flower Drumâ€, has recently become a media focus because of the dust pollution caused by many family workshops in the process of quartz stone mining. Object.
