Guangdong hazardous chemicals vehicle leaked phenol. Why is it leaking?

A truck loaded with phenol and a truck loaded with liquefied natural gas rear-ended on the expressway, resulting in the leakage of dangerous chemicals.

Race against the clock to rescue Guangdong G 150 1 expressway, a tanker carrying 30 cubic meters of phenol collided with another tanker carrying 56 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas. The collision between the two cars broke the tail of the tanker loaded with phenol and the conduit of the tanker loaded with liquefied natural gas, and the dangerous chemicals contained in both cars leaked. When the firemen arrived at the scene, they immediately put on gas masks to rescue the driver. Because liquefied natural gas is flammable and explosive, firefighters also used water guns to cool the tanker, and successfully rescued two drivers after partially disassembling the vehicle with tools.

Fire fighters and related professionals found through on-site investigation and testing that the tank car filled with phenol had completely dissolved the phenol in the car and leaked, and it flowed to some villages through the drainage ditch between expressway and farmland. Phenol is a dangerous chemical with strong corrosiveness. After learning this situation, the relevant units immediately notified nearly 8 villages to suspend the use of groundwater. All personnel use tap water, and it is forbidden to go to the polluted area for breeding and water fishing.

The importance of safe driving The accident was caused by the rear-end collision of two cars. Is this because the front car didn't drive at the prescribed speed, or the rear car didn't keep the distance between cars safe, so that although the car was waiting for the bus to brake, it hit the front car because of inertia, perhaps for two reasons, but this incident itself also reminds us to drive safely at ordinary times, and there are cars coming and going every day on the road, even if it is a long driving experience. It is impossible to avoid some accidents. Therefore, when driving, we should pay attention to passing vehicles, check the condition of vehicles at ordinary times and abide by safety standards, which is responsible for the safety of others and ourselves.
