Cause 'not confirmed'

Wen Xing, deputy head of Hengdong's publicity department, said the cause of the lead levels remains unconfirmed.

"The South China Environmental Protection Supervision Center said it may be caused by the dust from the raw materials of the factory. The raw materials were not covered properly," Wen said.

"The factory is only suspected of causing the problem. No conclusions have been made," Wen said.

When CCTV tested the dust accumulated on the windowsill of the Cheng Chun'e, another resident who lives near the factory in Dapu, results showed lead levels of 7,780 milligrams per kg.

That is more than 20 times the safe level stipulated for residential land, which is 350 milligram per kg.

Following the CCTV report, Wu Shuilin, head of the area's environment protection inspection team, and another two officials have been suspended from their duties.

Wu said his team has conducted at least 38 inspections at the factory since 2012.

"We found some small problems in the factory and gave them deadlines to rectify those," he said.

The factory's production has been "related" to lead amounts since it started operations in the 1970s, Wu said.

Affected areas

Research conducted by a team under Lyu Zhongmei, president of Hubei University of Economics, found that 44 lead pollution incidents and 19 cadmium pollution incidents occurred in China from January 2004 to December 2013.

While the team found that 80 percent of those pollution incidents occurred in underdeveloped areas like Dapu, they also found that environmental protection authorities failed to detect them.

Ma Jun, head of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, an NGO that researches pollution in China, said it is more possible for such incidents to occur in the areas because of the relationship between enterprises and local government.

"In those underdeveloped areas, enterprises are an important source of local government revenue. This puts the local environmental protection bureaus in an awkward position," Ma said.

"The county leadership may interfere with the environmental protection bureau's work. As officials of the bureau are appointed by the county leadership, they may be removed from their posts if they don't listen to the county leadership," Ma said.

Ma said factories will not receive much punishment even if residents report their environmental wrongdoing, adding that people in those areas rarely take part in the environmental evaluation and monitoring processes of polluting enterprises.

"The problem can only be rooted out if local people fully participate in these processes," he said.
