The smell of paint wafts from the underground garage of Shanghai No. 1 Residential Quarter: Hazardous substances exceed the standard by 20 times

For more than two weeks, Aru (a pseudonym), the owner of Jinqiu Garden, and his family have been living in a panic of environmental pollution every day.
The windows of their rooms were closed all day long, and the family relied on bottled water to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
Young children were even sent out of the community directly.
"The air in the community is too bad.
Some time ago, my child had a rash for 7 hours, and another child in the community vomited 15 times in one night.
" Talking about why the child was sent away, Aru said with lingering fear.
Due to the serious air odor, many parents of children in this community have made similar choices.
The root cause of the poor environment in the community is an underground garage that is being renovated .
In recent days, this garage constantly emitting a strong paint smell.
Tested by the testing agency, the total volatile organic matter TVOC content in the air in the area with strong peculiar smell ( opposite to the kindergarten at the basement exit ) is as high as 12.
590mg/m3, which is nearly 20 times higher than the reference limit.
[Event] [Event] Thepungent smell of paint wafts out of theunderground garage The pungent smell of paint    wafts out of the underground garage.
Jinqiu Garden is located in Dachang Town, Baoshan District.
It is a mixed residential area of ​​villas and buildings.
Among them, No.
46 to No.
60 are the high-rise areas of the community.
The 486 residents living here share the same underground garage that connects various buildings.
   At the end of October, residents living in this area began to smell paint in their homes.
The smell of paint is very harsh, even a bit "spicy".
Residents didn't care at first, guessing that there might be some owners around the house decorating .
After a while, the situation will get better.
   However, for several days, the smell of paint never dissipated.
Finally, the owner who could not bear it, walked out of the house with a hand-held air detector, determined to find out.
     This test shocked the owners.
The owner took the elevator downstairs while testing, and found that the closer to the underground garage, the more harmful the content of the air exceeded the standard, and the stronger the paint smell.
Eventually, the data peaked in the underground garage.
   At this time, most of the owners knew that before they knew it, the underground garage had already been renovated.
   According to the owners, the reason why their response to the decoration of the underground garage is so lagging is because Jinqiu Garden is a residential area dominated by villas, with few owners, a large area, and abundant parking spaces.
In addition, the original facilities of the underground garage were poor, and most owners did not use the underground garage and did not understand the changes in the garage.
   Some children have rashes    for 7 hours continuously.
In    November, more and more residents are aware of the seriousness of the problem.
An owner group organized by owners of high-rise districts was formally established.
During the conversation, the owners discovered that recently, many children and adults in this area have developed respiratory and skin diseases.
   "My child had a rash for 7 hours in a row.
The rash spread layer by layer.
Later, we had to take the child to the hospital late at night.
" Aru said, she said that the child had never had similar symptoms before.
.
   "My child vomited 15 times a night without any diarrhea symptoms.
" said an owner who lives in No.
50.
The child was only 5 years old, and her heart was broken that night.
   In the cases shared by the parents in the group, during this time, at least two children had allergic acute bronchial asthma, and some children had severe pneumonia.
The adults' life is not easy.
Many adults cough non-stop, and some adults have to continue antibiotic treatment.
   According to the statistics of the owners , among adults, a total of 21 households have adults with respiratory and skin allergies, and 13 households have adults with other symptoms.
Among the children, children from a total of 15 households developed respiratory diseases or skin allergies, and children from 7 households developed other symptoms.
These owners all stated that they had cases.
In addition, the owner also counted 50 cases of diseases with no cases.
   The maximum TVOC content exceeded the limit by 58 times    .
The maximum TVOC content exceeded the limit by 58 times.
   What made the owners feel worried was that on November 21, some owners noticed that the smell of paint gradually appeared in the drinking water.
According to the spontaneous statistics of the owners, at least 65 owners have noticed a peculiar smell in the water.
The owners believe that this may be caused by the high-level reservoir located in the underground garage, which is affected by air pollution.
   In order to alleviate the residents' anxiety, the Putuo District Water Supply Station, which is responsible for supplying water to the community, emptied and refilled the pool and water tank, and cleaned the two underground pools and water tanks.
Fortunately, after testing by the health department, no harmful substances in the water exceeded the standard.
   At the request of the residents, the construction party used materials to seal the passage from the underground garage to the building.
At the same time, a lot of activated carbon was placed in the water room.
   After a series of treatment measures, the concentration of peculiar smell that the owners can feel has been reduced.
However, does lower concentration mean less harm? Some owners still have doubts.
They found a professional testing agency to test the air.
   According to the test report provided by the Shanghai Institute of Industrial Technology, in the underground garage and surrounding areas, the total volatile organic matter TVOC in the air exceeded the standard severely.
Among them, the total volatile organic matter TVOC content of the pump room is 10.
141mg/m3, the TVOC content of the basement exit and the test point opposite to the kindergarten is 12.
590mg/m3, and the TVOC content of the entrance test point of the underground garage of Building 53 is as high as 35.
834mg /m3.
   According to the test report, the reference limit of the TVOC content of total volatile organic matter in the air is less than or equal to 0.
60mg/m3.
   Construction has been suspended and resumed in breach of contract.
   Construction has been suspended and resumed in breach of contract.
   "Suspension!" After discovering that the air had a serious odor, the owners' demands were very clear.
   On November 14, with the intervention of the Petition Office of Dachang Town, the owner of the basement-Shanghai Jinqiu Real Estate Co.
, Ltd.
, the manager of the basement-Jinqiu Property Management (Shanghai) Co.
, Ltd.
, and representatives of the owners sat Come down to negotiate.
In the consultation meeting, several parties clearly agreed that the construction party should suspend construction, "If construction is required, it shall be negotiated with the owner's representative, and construction can only be carried out after reaching an agreement.
"    "However, it is regrettable that on November 22nd, when I went to the underground garage of the community again to check the situation, I found that the construction party had obviously restarted the construction.
It can even be said that the construction has been basically completed.
" Dachang Town Letters and Visits Office Yao Said the sir.
   According to Mr.
Yao's explanation, although he had signed the meeting minutes as a witness, the agreement has limited binding force as there is no liability for breach of contract.
   [Question]    [Question]    Will the decoration materials continue to evaporate?    Will the decoration materials continue to evaporate?    On the other hand, because residents raised objections to the water quality, the Dachang Township government once coordinated the sanitation supervision department to intervene in the investigation.
Although the hazardous substances in the tap water do not exceed the standard, professionals suggest that the underground garage should be ventilated as soon as possible.
As a result, the measures to ventilate at intervals to consider residents’ lives were cancelled, and the underground garage began to ventilate for a long time.
   "We are more concerned about where this peculiar smell comes from?" There are residents who have deeper concerns.
"We know that some hazardous substances, volatile will continue for several years.
Our fear is that illegal construction side with a larger-toxic material.
If this is the case, how do next?"    One decorated by the construction side Shanghai Shen million building The "Epoxy Floor Construction Process and Plan" provided by the company has deepened the concerns of the owners.
This plan was formed after the government intervened (November 17).
In the plan, only inspection reports of a few materials were provided.
   "Our owners have photographed other materials during the construction of the underground garage, such as ground hardener, etc.
, but have not seen the corresponding certificates and reports.
" The owner said.
   What exactly are the sources of harmful substances?    What exactly are the sources of harmful substances?   On December 8, the reporter went to the underground garage of Jinqiu Community to find out the situation.
The reporter saw on the scene that the underground garage is still under construction.
In order to purify the air, the construction party has placed a lot of green dill in the underground garage.
The underground garage still exudes a strong paint-like smell, which is very pungent.
   "The underground garage has a (smell), but if you don't live in an underground garage, the decoration must have a smell.
" Facing reporters' inquiries, Jinqiu Property staff explained.
Ms.
Yu, the person in charge at the scene, even questioned the reporter: "Isn't this thing over?"    "This is the past, you have been asking me about the past.
" Ms.
Yu said.
In her opinion, it is now in early December, and the questioning of the owners that broke out in November has passed.
   When asked how she solved the odor problem, she said that it was solved by adopting ventilation and placing green dill.
   "According to the test results of professional institutions, the harmful substances in the air exceed the standard.
Can this problem be solved by placing green dill?" the reporter asked.
   "Let them show evidence.
" Ms.
Yu said.
She told reporters that if you have any questions, you should contact the Petition Office of Dachang Town.
"You keep asking us about the problems we have solved.
You have to ask the letter and visit, and they organized us to negotiate.
"    "Some owners said that after the government coordinated, you violated the contract and started construction again.
Is it true? "The reporter asked.
   "We just draw lines.
" Ms.
Yu said.
   Ms.
Yu also holds a position in Shanghai Jinqiu Real Estate Co.
, Ltd.
As of press time, the reporter has not received any response from other staff of Shanghai Jinqiu Real Estate Co.
, Ltd.
   Although in Ms.
Yu's view, the matter has been satisfactorily resolved.
However, in the opinion of Aru and other owners, if the peculiar smell of the underground garage is not completely dissipated, if the source of harmful substances in the air is not detected, and the potential pollution hazards are not completely eliminated, they will never dare to take their children home.
