Mexico: People are anxious with thousands of “time bombs” at the old gas cylinder cemetery

However, the fear of people in the Huichapan neighborhood in Mexico’s capital Mexico City increased a thousand times because they had to live next to a cemetery. old gas tank, which contains thousands of unused gas cylinders, opened the valve again. Not only is their health threatened, people’s spirits are also affected when their daily lives are like being next to time bombs.

The whole “sea” of colorful gas cylinders seems to create a giant picture, but for the people around, it is the beginning of a persistent nightmare in their lives. Thousands of discarded gas cylinders lying in the sun are not only like a “sea” of time bombs, but the liquefied gas leaking from them is also causing local people to languish due to illness and disease.

Covering the door openings with wet cloth did not work, many people kept leaving their homes at night to go elsewhere. They are not even allowed to light a fire to cook for fear of fire or explosion.

This gas cylinder cemetery belongs to the former oil refinery of the state-owned oil and gas group Pemex. The city government in January said the group was in the process of handling them, but this situation has been going on for eight months now.

Gas in its pure state is inherently odorless. Manufacturers add a nauseating odorant so people can detect the risk gas leak. However, for the people around the gas cylinder cemetery, even though they have lived with gas leaks for a long time, they cannot handle this situation themselves.
