Stunning images that show the real problem of environmental pollution in China. Although the country is having one of the leading positions of development pace in the world, environmental issues are the most neglected. It is really a shame for the people suffering from this, because morbidity and mortality in industrialized regions are quite high.  This post is another example of the consequences of human pollution. It’s really shocking! Look after the jump what those birds have eaten and the reason why they died.  It’s not really a lake, it’s more like an artificial lake. In fact, it’s the Berkeley Pit, a former open pit copper mine located in Butte, Montana, USA. It is filled to a depth of about 900 feet (270 m) with water that is heavily acidic. The pit is laden with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals, including arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and sulfuric acid. When the pit was closed, the water pumps at the bottom were removed, and groundwater from the surrounding aquifers began to slowly fill the pit. Since the pit closure in 1982, the level has risen to within 150 feet of the natural groundwater level. In 1995, a large flock of migrating snow geese landed in the Berkeley Pit water and died, with 342 carcasses recovered. Well, another masterpiece of man… :(  In a Vienna zoo, two Austrian artists Christoph Steinbrenner and Rainer Dempf have made special installations designed to attract people's attention to environmental problems. A very interesting idea and great installations called "Trouble in Paradise." Will people finally make the right conclusions? )  |
