Brumadinho Environmental Crime Affected People in Brazil
Jair Jorge da Cruz and Conceição Oliveira da Cruz, a couple resident in the city of Pará de Minas, going fishing in an artificial lake in the area. They can't fish in River Paraopeba anymore, since it's contaminated by the toxic mud coming from Vale's dam in Brumadinho.
On January 25th, a tailing dam from an iron ore mine from Vale, a Brazilian mining company, collapsed, flooding with almost 13 million m³ of toxic mud the district of Córrego do Feijão, in the city of Brumadinho, in Minas Gerais state. Authorities search for survivors amongst the havoc.
This environmental crime takes place a little over three years after the dam collapse in the city of Mariana, also in Minas Gerais state, controlled by Vale and British-Australian BHP.
In original language:
Crime Ambiental em Brumadinho, Minas Gerais
Jair Jorge da Cruz e Conceição Oliveira da Cruz, casal morador de Pará de Minas, indo pescar em um lago artificial da região. Eles não podem mais pescar no rio Paraopeba, que está contaminado pela lama tóxica da barragem da Vale.
No dia 25 de janeiro, uma barragem de rejeitos minerais de ferro da empresa Vale rompeu, inundando com quase 13 milhões de m³ de lama tóxica o distrito de Córrego do Feijão, em Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Autoridades procuram por sobreviventes e vítimas em meio à destruição.
Este crime ambiental acontece pouco mais de três anos após a ruptura da barragem em Mariana, Minas Gerais, controlada pela Vale e pela anglo-australiana BHP.
