The toxic slick from the smelter in Shaoguan is moving down the Beijiang River, threatening the urban residents of Yingde, which is about 90 kilometers south of Shaoguan, the report said. The volume of cadmium in the river water in Shaoguan was nearly 10 times the safety standard, according to the report. The state-owned smelter has since stopped operations, according to the report. Clean drinking water has been sent to Yingde using 15 fire engines, and a water pipe is being built to link the city's urban district with a water source that will not be affected by the chemical slick, the report said.
