Pictures of the pollutants on the surface of the fetid Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York. The body of water – one of the most polluted in the US – is getting a $506 million (£344 million) detox after being used as an industrial dumping ground for more than a century. “The mud is up to three metres deep and has the consistency of thick mayonnaise,” says Walter Mugdan, superfund division director at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is overseeing the cleanup.
