The drill was simulated the explosion accident of a toluene storage tank in a chemical plant
in Wusheng County, Guang'an City, Sichuan Province. The leaked toluene entered the river
with fire fighting water, endangering the water quality of ancient buildings along the Jialing
River in Hechuan District, Qiantang, Yunmen, and drinking water sources in the urban area.
On the river surface, the emergency rescue team drove the vessel to the suspected
polluted area, used oil absorbent booms on the river surface to intercept the toluene
from spreading, and used oil absorbent pads to adsorb toluene on the river surface.
The maritime ship of the District Transportation Bureau has launched traffic control in
the polluted waters to ensure safe operations. The unmanned sampling machine
released by the Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau conducts water quality
sampling in areas that the sampling ship cannot reach. Each department successively
reported the disposal results to the headquarters based on the completion of their
emergency rescue. Based on the progress of the on-site disposal, the headquarters
again organized a meeting and deployed follow-up related work. After the disposal,
experts commented on the spot, and the district party committee propaganda
department held a press conference on the spot in conjunction with relevant departments.
