Probe of Abandoned Factories Results in 28 New Soil and Groundwater Pollution Sites

摘要

The EPA has been conducting an ongoing investigation into potentially polluted land of closed down factories. The probe was expanded in 2009 to include 50 abandoned steel factories, electroplating factories, dyeing factories, tanneries, lumber treatment factories and electronics factories. Among these, 28 were found to have soil or groundwater pollution.
