Image description

The former gold and arsenic mine of Salsigne, the most polluted Seveso site in France, qualified as a “chemical Chernobyl” after the revelation in August 2019 of the poisoning of several dozen children living in villages near the site of exploitation. This pollution is said to have affected more than 10,000 people in the Orbiel valley, near Carcassonne (11, Aude, Occitanie) - seen from the factory in 1992, while the arsenic and cyanide residues extracted from the processing of minerals were stored summarily on the ground and left to abandon - polluting mining industry, industrial wasteland, waste industrialists - photo Patrice Cartier
