The implementation of the ban on highly toxic chemicals in inland rivers and other closed waters has been implemented for more than one year --- the Yangtze River Delta shouted "forbidden" to die.

According to the “Administrative Regulations on the Safety of Hazardous Chemicals” and the “Catalogue of Highly Toxic Chemicals” promulgated by the State Council, the Ministry of Transport has banned highly toxic chemicals in rivers and other closed waters since June 1 last year. According to the reporter’s understanding, the implementation of this ban has caused great inconvenience to the production and operation of chemical companies in the Yangtze River Delta region. Some ports along the river have also strongly reflected that this measure has had a major impact on local economic development. The company called for the necessary adjustments to the embargo policy for highly toxic chemicals in the Yangtze River Delta region. There should be bans and bans, sparse integration, and bans. The key is that safety measures must be in place.
The Yangtze River Delta has a prosperous economy, convenient transportation, and many chemical companies. The famous Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, Nanjing Chemical Industry Park, as well as Zhangjiagang, Jiangyin, Ningbo Daxie, Zhenhai and other important ports and chemical bases stand among them. Chemical companies along the Yangtze River generally have docks, and the chemical raw materials needed can go directly to the factory via the waterway. After the embargo was imposed, not only did some of the chemical companies' dock facilities become idle, but because some of the imported chemical materials had to be transferred to land from the seaport three or four hundred kilometers away, the transportation cost was greatly increased. The loudest voice for enterprises is about the transport of acrylonitrile. According to Zhenjiang Guoheng Chemical Company, the acrylonitrile raw materials required by them had to be re-exported from Lianyungang because of the embargo, and the cost per ton increased by more than 600 yuan. In just one year, it increased the expenditure by more than 20 million yuan.
The embargo on highly toxic chemicals in the Yangtze River has changed the investment strategy of some companies. It is understood that Yantai Wanhua originally selected an MDI device in Taizhou to supply domestic products through the Yangtze River waterway. However, the introduction of the ban has forced the company to change its plans and build a 160,000-ton/year installation in Ningbo, and the products have also been turned into international markets. Some MDI and TDI large-scale installations in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park will be put into operation one after another. This contradiction will also become increasingly prominent.
A large number of dangerous raw materials, especially highly poisonous chemicals, are nearing far and away from the highways, which also makes the dangers along the highways. It is understood that in the recent period, many major accidents have occurred in the Yangtze River Delta region such as yellow phosphorus, liquid chlorine, and acrylonitrile. On the surface, imperfections in road construction, backwardness in vehicle facilities, and non-standard transportation management are the main causes of frequent accidents. However, it cannot be denied that the market demand and the hazardous chemical product transportation management policies are not matched by frequent accidents. the reason.
It is understood that the reason why the state has imposed embargoes on highly toxic chemicals in the rivers and other closed waters is mainly due to the consideration of the environmental protection and safety of the Inland River Basin. Some experts have suggested that the closed river water environment and water resources in the rivers should be effectively protected. Under this premise, the development and utilization of inland water resources will be maximized. This is a comprehensive consideration. From an international point of view, some countries with developed inland shipping have basically no embargo. Before the embargo was imposed in China, there were always dangerous goods transported in developed areas of inland waterways, and there were very few serious accidents. Only due to pollution accidents caused by vehicles that had been carrying toxic chemicals such as potassium cyanide into the river in previous years, it has attracted special attention at the social and policy levels.
During the interview, the reporter also learned that many dangerous chemical companies also put forward different views on the toxicity judgment standards of highly toxic chemicals. It is reported that the standard for judging highly toxic chemicals in the “Highly Toxic Chemicals Catalogue” in China is far higher than the international general standards such as the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, including those such as yellow phosphorus, liquid chlorine, acrylonitrile, and TDI. Some chemical products that are not classified as highly toxic chemicals in foreign countries are also listed. The enterprise believes that blindly expanding the “embargo” is not a good strategy for ensuring the safety of road transport.
