    Jiangsu Changqing Agrochemical and other companies transferred about 10,000 tonnes of hazardous waste to the Jingjiang Houhe Chemical Plant, which lacked hazardous waste disposal qualifications, and illegally buried it, creating "buried poison"; the case was jointly listed and supervised for the first time by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Public Security. In 2015, a warehouse at the company's north factory also exploded. In 2018, a court sentenced principal offender Zhou Ruxiang to three years in prison for environmental pollution, among other penalties.
