Pollutants on Songhua River Approaches Another NE China's City

The front of the pollutants on northeast China's Songhua River has approached 54 kilometers upstream of Jiamusi City, according to an environmental bulletin issued Tuesday.

 

The section is 298 kilometers away from the downstream city of Tongjiang, or the joining point of the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River.

 

At this section, the density of nitrobenzene was at 0.004mg/L at 4:00 AM Tuesday, which is within the national standard, says the bulletin of the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA).
