Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of emergency response to sudden environmental pollution, standardized disposal of hazardous waste, and environmental risk management, and is particularly applicable to the entire process of emergency response to sudden environmental damage incidents caused by hazardous chemical leaks, hazardous waste spills, and waste liquid leaks. Background Technology

[0002] Sudden environmental incidents such as hazardous chemical transport leaks, hazardous waste spills in factory areas, waste liquid leaks, and river pollution are characterized by their suddenness, rapid spread, significant pollution hazards, and short response window. If not handled promptly or managed properly, they can easily cause multiple pollution of soil, water, and air, leading to secondary environmental disasters and safety accidents.

[0003] Currently, domestic ecological and environmental emergency response work generally relies on manual experience, offline dispatch, and paper-based records. The overall technical system has many substantial shortcomings, which seriously restricts the efficiency and compliance of emergency response. 1. Fragmented and lacking unified standards for emergency response. The existing emergency response lacks a tiered, standardized, and simplified operating system. On-site personnel lack visual and user-friendly operating procedures, resulting in arbitrary on-site response and non-standardized sealing, collection, and transportation operations, which can easily lead to secondary pollution.

[0004] 2. Delayed and passive emergency resource allocation. After an accident, manual searching and verification of the qualifications of hazardous waste disposal units are required, and communication and coordination are time-consuming, making it impossible to quickly match compliant collection and transportation resources, thus missing the golden window of opportunity for initial pollution control.

[0005] 3. Lack of risk prediction capability during transportation. Traditional pollutant transportation only focuses on the route and fails to establish and identify environmentally sensitive and vulnerable points along the route, such as drinking water sources, rivers, farmland, and residential areas, in advance. Without targeted prevention and control measures, leaks are prone to occur during transportation, leading to secondary pollution.

[0006] 4. The approval mechanism is not adapted to emergency scenarios. The routine hazardous waste transfer, pre-disposal approval, and manifest processing procedures are cumbersome. Strictly enforcing the routine approval process will delay emergency response. Furthermore, existing technologies lack legal and compliant emergency exemption and supplementary filing mechanisms, posing a risk to compliance in disposal.

[0007] 5. Low level of automation and high risk in on-site operations. Traditional disposal relies entirely on manual investigation and cleaning, which poses a high risk of personnel exposure in high-risk pollution areas and results in low operational efficiency, making it impossible to achieve high-precision, comprehensive pollution investigation and efficient cleaning operations.

[0008] 6. Inadequate safety protection and management. There is no refined, graded protection standard. Protection plans are uniform across different positions and pollution scenarios, which can easily lead to safety accidents due to insufficient protection or waste of materials and inconvenience in operation due to excessive protection.

[0009] 7. Monitoring data is fragmented and lacks systematic analysis capabilities. On-site monitoring data is recorded in a scattered manner, lacking unified means of collection, comparison, and analysis. This makes it impossible to quantify the effectiveness of pollution control and to scientifically determine the basis for decisions on on-site withdrawal and remediation.

[0010] 8. The disposal records cannot be automatically closed-loop. The disposal data throughout the entire process is stored in a scattered manner, relying on manual sorting and compilation of emergency reports. This is labor-intensive, data is prone to loss, and it cannot meet the closed-loop management requirements of environmental supervision archiving, accident review, and source tracing and accountability.

[0011] In summary, existing technologies generally remain at the level of manual, offline, and fragmented handling, lacking a complete emergency response system that integrates hardware and software, is fully digitalized, intelligent, and standardized. This makes it impossible to simultaneously meet the multiple requirements of rapid emergency response, safe operation, compliant handling, data traceability, and closed-loop record-keeping. Therefore, this invention proposes a rapid emergency response method for sudden environmental damage across the entire chain. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing emergency response methods for sudden environmental accidents, such as slow response, loopholes in control links, insufficient intelligence, and difficulty in closing the loop of the whole process. It provides a standardized, implementable, and rapid response method for the entire chain of emergency response to sudden environmental damage, so as to achieve standardized control of the entire process from receiving the alarm to archiving, shorten the response time, and reduce the risks of secondary pollution and personal safety.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a rapid emergency response method for the entire chain of sudden environmental damage, comprising the following steps: S1: Standardized tiered simplified safety response plan activated. This method pre-sets standardized response templates for three levels: trace pollution, moderate pollution, and large-scale sudden pollution. All operational procedures are accompanied by simple text and illustration guidance, significantly reducing the professional threshold for on-site operations and allowing ordinary emergency personnel to quickly implement them. Specifically, trace leaks are contained using absorbent materials and temporarily collected and sealed on-site; moderate leaks are intercepted with temporary dikes, collected in zones, and sealed; and large-scale pollution is handled by zone isolation and diversion collection. The entire process strictly adheres to the environmental protection principles of preventing pollutants from landing on the ground, seeping into groundwater, or being directly discharged into surface water. A 15-minute rapid response protocol is also established, immediately demarcating a warning zone and deploying defenses upwind upon receiving a report, enabling rapid response.

[0014] S2: Intelligent matching and scheduling of nearby compliant hazardous waste disposal units A database of registered and licensed hazardous waste management companies in the locality is established in advance, comprehensively recording core information such as the types of hazardous waste they handle, storage capacity, geographical location, and 24-hour emergency contact information. After an incident occurs, based on the location of the incident and the type of contaminated goods, and following the principle of distance priority + precise matching of qualifications, 1-3 compliant disposal units are automatically selected. Emergency notifications are completed by phone and in writing with one click, and collection and transportation are quickly scheduled, saving time-consuming manual verification, price inquiries, and coordination.

[0015] S3: Tiered prevention and control of vulnerable points in the transit route environment All alternative transfer routes within the jurisdiction are pre-documented, accurately marking vulnerable environmental locations such as drinking water source protection areas, rivers and ditches, basic farmland, residential areas, and groundwater recharge areas along the routes, and assigning specific prevention and control measures to each vulnerable point. When passing water sources, time-limited sealed transfers are implemented, with vehicles equipped with emergency absorption boxes and strictly controlled speeds; when passing farmland, transportation is avoided during rainy weather, and vehicles are equipped with seepage-proof mats; when passing residential areas, off-peak transfers are conducted at night to shorten stopover time along the route. Corresponding control plans are automatically retrieved during route planning to prevent secondary pollution during transfers.

[0016] S4: Statutory Exemptions and Expedited Filing Processing for Emergency Scenarios Based on the "Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law" and the "Emergency Management Measures for Sudden Environmental Incidents," legal emergency exemption conditions are established. When a hazard endangers the safety of the water or air environment, the routine pre-approval process for reporting and transferring manifests can be waived after on-site filing with the ecological and environmental authorities. The exemption is limited to this emergency cleanup operation. All compliance procedures must be completed within 3 working days after the operation is completed to ensure priority handling of the hazard and a legal and compliant closed loop.

[0017] S5: Collaborative Intelligent On-Site Operation of Multiple Types of Unmanned Equipment By replacing high-risk manual labor with various types of unmanned equipment, comprehensive, efficient, and safe disposal can be achieved. Drones equipped with multi-parameter sensors for gas and water quality can complete high-altitude aerial photography to identify pollution boundaries, pollution areas, and leak locations, and transmit data back in real time. Unmanned surface vessels are adapted to river, lake, and ditch scenarios, autonomously cruising to complete water sampling and containment and collection of floating pollutants. Tracked disposal robots can penetrate into highly toxic and high-risk polluted areas, automatically completing pollutant scraping, clump-forming hazardous waste crushing, and sealed containerization operations, comprehensively avoiding the high-risk exposure risks to personnel and significantly improving disposal efficiency.

[0018] S6: Full-process hierarchical security protection and dynamic management A three-tiered differentiated safety protection system has been established to precisely match the operational risks of different positions. Warning and control personnel are equipped with semi-enclosed protective suits, dust and gas masks, and puncture-resistant safety shoes; personnel handling close-range contamination are equipped with fully enclosed heavy-duty chemical protective suits, positive-pressure respirators, and acid and alkali-resistant protective gloves and boots; personnel remotely operating unmanned equipment are equipped with standard work protective equipment and partial respirators. Simultaneously, on-site decontamination stations and emergency first-aid supplies are provided, and the protection level is dynamically upgraded based on real-time wind direction and the physical and chemical characteristics of the contaminants.

[0019] S7: On-site rapid detection and cloud-based data collection and analysis After the cleanup operation is completed, portable testing terminals are used to collect soil, surface water, and air samples from multiple points, and the test data is uploaded to the cloud platform in real time. The system automatically retrieves the regional environmental baseline values ​​and national pollutant emission standards, intelligently calculates the pollution removal rate, analyzes the risk of residual pollution in soil and water, quantifies the treatment effect, and automatically outputs a judgment on whether the site meets the conditions for withdrawal and whether in-depth remediation is required.

[0020] S8: Automatic data collection and standardized report generation and archiving throughout the entire process The cloud platform automatically captures information from the entire process, including alarm records, images and operational data of unmanned equipment, hazardous waste disposal ledgers, transfer and prevention records, safety protection records, on-site testing data, and emergency exemption filing materials. Following the official template of the ecological and environmental department, it automatically generates a complete and compliant emergency response report, enabling one-click archiving without the need for manual compilation, thus meeting the needs of regulatory filing and accident review.

[0021] Preferred solution: The entire treatment method is equipped with a cloud-based information management platform, with data persistently stored in the cloud and supported for retrieval and online scheduling anytime via multiple terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers.

[0022] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a rapid emergency response method for the entire chain of sudden environmental damage, which has the following beneficial effects: The procedures are standardized, visualized, and simplified, allowing non-professional emergency personnel to quickly get started and significantly shortening the emergency response activation time. A database of hazardous waste disposal companies is established in advance, and the system intelligently matches the nearest disposal unit to avoid blindly searching for disposal resources after an accident and to safeguard the golden window period for pollution disposal. The transfer routes are identified in advance to identify environmentally sensitive and vulnerable points and to implement tiered prevention and control measures to prevent secondary environmental pollution during the transfer of pollutants from the source. Establish an emergency exemption filing mechanism based on laws and regulations, simplify pre-approval within a legal framework, and prioritize the handling of emergencies; Drones, unmanned surface vessels, and tracked disposal robots work together to replace manual labor in high-risk areas, reducing the risk of poisoning and burns to personnel and improving the overall efficiency of on-site cleanup by more than 30%. Implement a three-tiered differentiated safety protection plan to accurately match the risk levels of different positions, rationally allocate protective materials, and avoid safety accidents and waste of materials; On-site testing data is collected uniformly, automatically compared and analyzed, and the treatment effect is quantified to provide data support for decisions on whether to withdraw from the site and subsequent remediation. The entire process of data is automatically compiled to generate standardized handling reports, achieving closed-loop management of emergency event data and meeting the needs of ecological and environmental supervision archiving and accident review.
