Rumors that the raw water source of the Suijiang River in Guangdong is insufficient, and the water supply will be carried out in different times?

【Popular Science Today】If a gas tank catches fire, will it explode if the valve is closed directly?

Truth: Recently, a news about "the raw water of Suijiang River has ultra-high turbidity, which cannot meet the normal water supply and will be supplied in different times" circulated in many WeChat groups in Sihui City, Zhaoqing, Guangdong, causing concern. Upon investigation, this information is a rumor. At present, the staff of Sihui City Waterworks are on duty 24 hours a day to implement water supply guarantee, and closely monitor water quality changes, and there is no problem of insufficient water source and water supply in different periods. The staff of Sihui Zhaoshui Water Co., Ltd. said that at present, the operation status of each water plant of Sihui Zhaoshui Water Co., Ltd. is safe and stable, the tap water source is sufficient, and the water quality meets the national standards, which can meet the daily demand for tap water, so please rest assured that the public can use it.

Myth If a gas tank catches fire, will it explode if the valve is closed directly?

Truth: This statement is purely misleading. The gas tank is a large pressure vessel, the gas is compressed from the gaseous state into a liquid state and stored in it at high pressure, the internal pressure of the gas tank is much higher than the atmospheric pressure outside, this pressure difference makes the gas spray outward, so there is no problem of going back in. In other words, closing the valve directly will not cause the "backfire explosion" transmitted on the Internet.

There are two main scenarios for a gas tank to explode

One is that the gas tank is continuously baked by high temperatures, and the pressure inside the cylinder rises sharply, exceeding the load of the cylinder and exploding, which is called a physical explosion. Overfilling of cylinders, severe extrusion deformation, etc., may also lead to physical explosion.

The other is in a confined or confined space, when the leaking gas reaches the explosion limit and encounters an ignition source, the explosion that occurs at this time is a chemical explosion.

There are three things to pay special attention to when using gas canisters

The first point: compared to burning in an upright state, the gas tank is more dangerous to burn on the ground, and the cylinder is more likely to be heated by the flame, and the risk of explosion increases. Therefore, do not put the cylinder down during disposal.

The second point: gas hoses are easy to age and need to be checked and replaced regularly.

Point 3: In the event of a gas tank fire, if you cannot predict the risk or have no ability to deal with it, you should call 119 in a safe area as soon as possible and wait for firefighters to arrive at the scene to deal with it. (Source: "Qinghai Fire" WeChat public account)

Another 250 suspects of wire fraud have been handed over to our side

Details: In November 2022, in the process of investigating a naked chat extortion case, the public security organs of Zhoukou City, Henan Province, found that a criminal group led by Liu and others organized people to set up dens in Myanmar and Laos to carry out illegal and criminal activities such as cross-border naked chat extortion and telecommunications network fraud against mainland citizens, and the amount involved was huge. In order to crack down on such illegal and criminal acts in accordance with the law, China's public security organs and the Lao police have continued to carry out international police law enforcement cooperation, and recently successfully smashed three criminal dens located in the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone in Laos, and arrested 250 Chinese criminal suspects. At present, the relevant personnel and items involved in the case have been successfully handed over to us through the Xishuangbanna border port in Yunnan.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security said that the public security organs will further intensify the crackdown, continue to strengthen international law enforcement cooperation, strike hard, take multiple measures at the same time, resolutely curb the high incidence of cross-border naked chat extortion, telecommunications network fraud and other crimes, and earnestly safeguard the property safety and legitimate rights and interests of the people.
