A truck transporting 20 tons of sulfuric acid overturned yesterday in Nanxiong City, south China's Guangdong Province, spilling the toxic chemical into the Zhenjiang River.
The accident occurred on the provincial Highway 342 yesterday morning. Firefighters sprayed water and alkaline solution to dilute the acid, according to today's Yangcheng Evening News.
A Nanxiong government official said the Zhenjiang River is not the source of the city's tap water, therefore the spill won't pose threat to local residents, but he warned people not to eat dead fish floating on the river.
A heavy rain last night helped to wash off the acid spilled over the field. Local environmental authorities are closely monitoring the water quality in the river, the paper said.
No one was injured in the accident and hundreds of nearby residents were evacuated, it said.
