How serious is the environmental pollution in some places in China?

Pro-polluted places you can't imagine.

There is a small mountain village, Heshan Village, in Bai Yunxiang, Shimen County, Hunan Province, which is a beautiful place. However, in the middle of last century, a large number of ores were found here, and arsenic was extracted by burning male sulfur with artificial soil method. At that time, the small mountain village was very lively. With the deepening of mining, 30 square kilometers of Fiona Fang has been seriously polluted, and people in the village often suffer from various diseases, resulting in 157 people dying of cancer within 20 years. It was not until the enterprise closed 20 1 1 that it was found that the ore contained highly toxic arsenic. More than 600 people were randomly selected from the village 1525. Results 424 people were poisoned by arsenic and more than 200 people became cancer patients. Due to serious pollution, Castle Peak has turned into barren hills and barren hills, the river water has been polluted, the crops planted cannot be sold, and the living environment of the villagers is even worse. In Heshan village, many villagers with arsenic poisoning first grow small spots on their hands and feet. As time goes on, the small spots grow bigger and bigger, and finally fester and become skin cancer. 1200 people were poisoned by arsenic, and more than 400 people died of cancer! The rest of us can only wait to die because we are poor ...? Can you search for arsenic poisoning in Shimen?

I suggest you search the video public welfare film "Investigation on the Depth of Smog in Chai Jing: Under the Dome". This video was very sensational when it was first released, and it was soon banned by Fu Zheng. ....

I hope this helps.
