THE water quality of a northeast China river tested clear today, a day after floods swept thousands of containers full of chemicals into the waterway, said a government spokesman.
Tao Detian, a spokesman for the Ministry of Environmental Protection, said the ministry had dispatched a work team to help deal with the emergency and stepped up monitoring of water quality along the Songhua River, which flows about 1,900 km through the Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.
More than 7,000 chemical containers had been washed into the Songhua from Yongji County, in Jilin City of Jilin Province after rain-triggered floods hit a chemical plant.
Only 3,000 containers were holding chemicals with about 170 kilograms each, and the other 4,000 were empty, government officials told a press conference this morning held in Jilin City.
So far, about 400 buckets had been recovered.
