Image description

The former gold and arsenic mine of Salsigne, a Seveso site classified as the most polluted in France, described as “chemical Chernobyl” after the revelation in August 2019 of the poisoning of several dozen children living in villages near the site of exploitation. This pollution would have affected more than 10,000 people in the Orbiel valley, near Carcassonne (11, Aude, Occitanie) - open-pit mining quarry above the village, at the time it was in operation (until 2004) - polluting mining industry, industrial wasteland, industrial waste - photo Patrice Cartier
