Owner in prison over wastewater

The owner of a molding workshop in east China鈥檚 Zhejiang Province was jailed for a year yesterday and fined 2,000 yuan (US$320) for pouring toxic wastewater down a toilet.

Xia鈥檚 actions posed a risk to the environment, the People鈥檚 Court in Wenzhou鈥檚 Ouhai District said.

The workshop had no sewage treatment facilities. Instead, it flushed wastewater, which contained heavy metals, down the toilet.

A routine check by local environmental protection authorities in August found the wastewater contained chromium, copper, zinc and nickel, all exceeding national standards.
