Don't they have any environmental controls at all in that country? That's horrendous, but hardly unusual for nations like that. This is one of the primary reasons that industry goes third world. Labor has little, or nothing to do with it. Environmental law is completely out of control in the developed world, requiring industry to spend billions on solutions that only rarely work. So government forces them to spend billions on the latest and greatest failures every few years.

But in the third world environmental law hardly exists at all. In some nations the rivers don't flow, they undulate. Even China and India are like that. It's small wonder they attract industry.

The only problem is, it's the exact opposite extreme of the developed world. It destroys those countries for decades to come. I see none of the voluntary attempts by industry to clean things up like existed here in the 1930s through 1950s. Things should have been left like that. Or very close. Corporate Boards are soul less entities, and people are more willing to put forth a huge effort on such things when they are at home.

That .............. is terrible. They say it's illegal, but I see nobody trying to stop it. What a mess. What's terrible, is that they probably have people poor enough to be eager to work cleaning it up, health considerations not considered even remotely.
