据印度媒体７日报道，印度首都新德里东南部地区一装载有化学液体的集装箱货柜车６日发生泄漏，造成至少４８７人就医，其中２００多名学生因眼睛和喉咙受到刺激而入院治疗。
“我现在感觉眼睛肿痛，有时想呕吐，身体十分难受，”一位名叫拉蒂的学生７日在医院里痛苦地对新华社记者说。
事发时学校正在上课。目前，已经有两所学校因受到影响暂时关闭。该区域大部分在校学生、教师和当地居民的眼部和皮肤有灼烧感，并伴有呕吐现象。
事发地的一位老师告诉记者，刚开始大家以为是煤气泄漏，后来得知是化学品泄漏。空气中有强烈的刺鼻气味，不久后皮肤有了灼烧感。
事件发生后，印度国家灾害应急部队立即前往事发地区，对该区域进行封锁，并采取措施减少化学气体泄漏造成的影响。同时，核生化部门全力采取措施阻隔气雾的扩散。
当地消防局一名高级官员表示，泄漏的是一种用于制造杀虫剂的化学物质。目前，泄漏原因仍在调查中。
据当地警方介绍，一些重伤员已被送往重症监护室进行救护。医生建议受影响的人员清理受污染的衣服，并用大量清水清洗眼睛至少１５分钟。
NEW DELHI: At least 487
school students
and teachers and residents of a colony in Tughlaqabad fell sick on Saturday after
inhaling fumes
emanating from a liquid that leaked from a container truck parked at a nearby depot.
Most of them reported
severe burning sensation in their eyes
and on the skin. Some others reported vomitting.
Personnel from the
National Disaster Response Force
cordoned off the area and took measures to neutralise the effect of the
leak. Later, a team from NDRF's nuclear, biological and chemical
disposal unit reached the scene and covered the liquid with salt to cut
off the fumes.
The school had to be closed for the day. "We initially thought it was
an LPG leak. Officials from the container depot told us soon afterward
that it was chemical leak," said a teacher. It was a strong pungent
smell, similar to the one coming from toilet cleaners. Soon, there was
irritation in our eyes and skin as it happens with tear gas. It could
have led to serious health hazards if the children were exposed to it
further," said Payal Sharma, a resident of the railway colony nearby ,
who was also admitted to a hospital.
Police said that a total of 487 victims were taken to hospital till
afternoon. "We have registered a case under sections 278 (making
atmosphere noxious to health), 284 (negligent conduct with respect to
poisonous substance), 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of
others) and 337 (causing hurt) of IPC against unidentified people. A
team has been sent to track down the container truck," said a senior
police officer.
Police officers said that 119 children were initially admitted to ESIC
Hospital in Okhla. Apart from them, 63, including nine teachers, were
taken to Batra Hospital. Of them, 43 students and teachers were
discharged later.Another batch of 225 child ren was admitted to Majithia
Hospital while the rest were taken to AIIMS Trauma Centre and Apollo
Hospital.
According to the cops, the container truck, bound for a factory in
Sonipat, had been parked at the depot for the past three days during
which a drum containing chemicals had started leaking. "There were
several workers at the depot who started falling ill due to which we
requested our employers to ensure that the formalities at the customs
department is completed and the container is allowed to leave for its
destination. Finally, it was allowed to leave on Friday night," said
Satish Kumar, an employee of the depot. "It seems that one of the
barrels containing the chemical was not properly sealed, leading to the
spill," said a depot official.
Police said that the container was brought to India from China by road
and later it was parked at Tughlaqabad depot for customs clearance.
