Workers, many of them poorly paid migrants strip, smash and melt down circuit boards, mainly to extract the copper and other precious metals inside. The business has created massive pollution from leaded glass and other toxic materials. A water sample taken from the site revealed lead levels 2,400 times higher than the World Health Organization's limit for drinking water.

  • A couple walks along a street lined with apartment buildings, seen through the window of a taxi cab, in Chongqing, China, Friday, Oct. 31, 2008. Block after city block, towers of concrete, steel and glass fill the skyline. Teeming and congested, the intensely urban landscapes of China's biggest cities show a glimpse of what the future will hold for the rest of the country.In the sprawling megacities of Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing, where populations exceed 10 million people, extreme urban density means that the number of people living within a few square blocks here is equal to the population of entire mid-size U.S. cities. .China's urban population soared to 607 million people last year _ nearly equaling the 700 million living in the countryside. The country's headlong plunge toward urbanization continues unabated as tens of millions of migrants from the countryside flood to cities in search of money, jobs and other opportunities.
