Figure 1 shows a photograph of a range of old industrial buildings with many chimneys emitting plumes of water vapour and smoke. The picture is shown to illustrate newspaper article about Cancer villages. The article reads: ‘Chinese “cancer village” scores rare victory over polluters. A waste disposal firm that spewed toxi pollution into a rural Chinese village will have to pay compensation to nearly 400 villagers after losing a long-running legal battle.’
