Image description

The former gold and arsenic mine of Salsigne, the most polluted Seveso site in France, described as “chemical Chernobiy” 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) - view taken near the factory in 1992, when bags of arsenic and cyanide waste extracted from the processing of minerals were stored summarily on the ground and left to abandon - polluting mining industry, wasteland industrial, industrial waste - picture Patrice Cartier
