Living with Danger - Clipreel
China is the world’s largest phosphate fertilizer producer, with a total of more than 300,000,000 tons of phosphogypsum left behind as an industrial by-product. This massive amount of solid waste contains harmful chemicals and is difficult to reuse. It is causing long-term pollution in in Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei and other provinces, where the phosphate industry is concentrated.

Shoot:
China's Chemical Fertilizer Industry
Greenpeace is currently investigating the manufacture of phosphate fertiliser in Sichuan province, China. Chemical fertilizers play an integral role in industrial agriculture and food production. However, its manufacture has proven to be highly polluting, to contribute to wide-spread environmental contamination and to cause distress for local communities living in the vicinity of the production facilities. The shoot includes images of farmers and farming activities involving the use of fertilizers in Hainan province, China.
