With even the lightest wind, the tiny particles take flight, blotting out the sky like a thick sandstorm of ash. This is highly hazardous to people, as the fine particles are easily inhaled. Lu Youlong, who works nearby, told Greenpeace that contaminated water has seeped from the ash dam into village fish ponds, killing all the fish. Many fields have also developed puddles of alkaline water, making it impossible to grow crops.Locations:Asia-China-ShanxiDate:16 Jun, 2010Credit:© Zhao Gang / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2800px X 1867pxKeywords:Air pollution-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Day-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Land pollution-Masks (protective)-Outdoors-Samples-Sampling (activity)-Toxics (campaign title)-Waste disposal-WindyShoot: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.
