Copșa Mică, Romania, 1990.“After the collapse of communism, pollution in Eastern countries became a global concern. I discussed it with Figaro Magazine, who offered to send me to Copșa Mică, Romania, one of the most polluted cities in the world. I arrived on site after crossing the Carpathians in Dacia. The streets were covered with black soot. So were the sheep, and the children leaving school. It was snack time. The city was covered with black smoke and a toxic substance released by the zinc factories. The companies said it was all harmless, and everybody went about like everything was fine, hanging their laundry and planting their gardens.” [x]Photographs by Vincent Leloup -- source link
