Chemical Weapon Residue Linked To 2003 Death In China
A scrap metal collector in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang province, died and 42 others were injured after cutting into metal drums. The drums contained chemical weapon residues from the Japanese military during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The incident occurred when a hazardous liquid sprayed out during the cutting process. The incident occurred on August 4, 2003, when the barrels were being cut at a recycling station. This event is cited as a consequence of chemical weapon presence in the region. The drums contained chemical weapon residue from Japanese instruments, according to a report by journalist Cui Tianqi. Expert Teng Jianqun stated that the number of abandoned chemical weapons in China could be as high as 400,000 units. Teng noted that up to 400,000 such unexploded or abandoned chemical munitions may still remain in China, posing a threat to local populations.
