Learning from Zhenjiang Water Pollution Accident

Abstract:

The accident that occurred in Zhenjiang in Feburary 2012 caused chaos in local society and international attention. It was caused by chemical leak from cargo ship but the weak communication between the government and the community played a vital role. This paper analyzes the accident scenario using the risk analysis framework, determines key factors influenced the occurrence of the basic events. By comparing study we conclude that the key factors affecting such water pollution accidents includes timely information release, perfect water supply system and strict legal system.Keywords: water pollution accident; environmental accident; risk analysis; government’s role; information release
