Pannan is Guizhou province’s first 1GW power plant. It has seriously polluted Baiguo town, where coal and coal ash are dumped freely everywhere. Meanwhile, a coal washing plant directly discharges black wastewater into the Tuochang River, at the head of the Pearl River system, turning the waters upstream and downstream completely different colours. This is a chilling view of China’s new natural landscape: on one side, a severely polluted river, and on the other side, a mountain valley slowly being filled in by coal ash.Locations:Asia-China-GuizhouDate:13 Jul, 2010Credit:© Simon Lim / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2800px X 1077pxKeywords:Air pollution-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Coal-fired power stations-Day-Industrial landscapes-KWCI (GPI)-Land pollution-Outdoors-Pollution-Toxics (campaign title)-Waste disposalShoot:Coal Ash Disposal Documentation in ChinaThe threats of coal combustion waste have been vastly underestimated in China due to regulatory loopholes that allow power companies to freely dump toxic coal ash in the environment, according to Greenpeace’s latest report, the True Cost of Coal – An Investigation into Coal Ash in China.Related Collections:Report 'True Cost of Coal: China Coal Ash'Coal Ash Disposal Documentation in China (Photo & Video)
