China's Enviornmental disaster

The explosion at a chemical plant in China. Eventhough this is old news, i need to say it cause i think this explosion may lead to a great ecosystem imbalance. During the explosion the chemical, benzene leaked into the river Songhua polluting the river and eventually made it impossible to drink water from the river.

It not only affected China, the toxic chemicals also entered Russia. According to reports a chemical cadmium a potentially cancer-creating chemical also flowed to a tributary of Yangtze River.

So you can imagine when toxicating a river the lives of fishes and aquatic animals are in great risk. Pollution not only affects animals but it also affects us. Although the explosion is an accident we have to learn to be must more careful and cautious or else things could get worse...
