The disposal site is located in a small valley, which the power plant has divided into more than 10 sections. One by one, each section is filled with coal ash and then covered with earth before crops are planted on the surface. Less than half a kilometer away, there is a dairy collection station for a famous dairy company. On windy days, the coal ash gets scattered far across the earth, blanketing the vegetation. Cows that eat grass contaminated by coal ash will produce less milk by as much as 2kg a day.Locations:Asia-China-Inner MongoliaDate:20 Jun, 2010Credit:© Zhao Gang / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2800px X 1867pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Day-KWCI (GPI)-Lakes-Land pollution-Outdoors-Toxics (campaign title)-Waste disposal-Water pollutionShoot: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.
