This disposal site does not have any safeguards – not even retaining walls – to protect against coal ash dispersal or leakage. The only preventative measure taken has been to compact the outermost coal ash to form a makeshift dam. There are villages all around the coal ash landfill, and among them, Shuimotou village is the closest and most seriously polluted.Locations:Asia-China-ShanxiDate:9 Aug, 2010Credit:© Zhao Gang / GreenpeaceMaximum size:1867px X 2800pxKeywords:Chimneys-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Coal-fired power stations-Cows-Day-Grass-KWCI (GPI)-Land pollution-Outdoors-Toxics (campaign title)-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.
