on september 4, a netizen posted that a residential building in fuyun garden community, wuzhong district, suzhou, jiangsu province was sealed off because a resident in the building privately stored a large amount of mercury and it leaked. on september 5, jimu news reporters learned from the wuzhong district ecological environment bureau that the leaked mercury had been cleaned up and the residential building had been unsealed.

on the morning of the 5th, a resident near the fuyun garden community told jimu news reporters that she had just heard about the incident that morning. due to a mercury leak, an entire building in the fuyun garden community was sealed off.

a local insider told jimu news that there was indeed a residential building in fuyun garden community that was sealed off. a resident of the building privately stored mercury and it leaked. the ecological environment department and the police went to the scene to deal with it.

jimu news reporters learned from the government of guangfu town, wuzhong district that after the incident, the fire, emergency, and ecological environment departments arrived at the scene as soon as possible to deal with the situation, evacuated the residents, and properly resettled them. so far, no residents have been poisoned by the mercury leakage, and the latest monitoring indicators at the scene have returned to normal.

staff from the wuzhong district ecological environment bureau told jimu news that mercury is a hazardous chemical. after the incident on the afternoon of the 4th, they cleaned up the leaked mercury. the cleanup has been completed and the scene has been lifted.

according to the beijing news, the mercury was hoarded by a deceased old man, and the old man's family accidentally caused the mercury leak when cleaning the house.

fu jian, a well-known criminal defense lawyer and director of henan zejin law firm, believes that mercury is a dangerous chemical, and its storage, use and disposal are subject to strict laws and regulations. privately hoarding mercury obviously violates relevant regulations, and the resident may need to bear administrative responsibilities, including fines, confiscation of illegal items, etc. if the resident's behavior is considered to endanger public safety, he may face criminal liability, such as endangering public safety by dangerous means. at the same time, because the mercury leak caused the entire building to be sealed, causing losses to the lives of other residents, the resident may also need to bear civil liability.
