Lethal Legacy. Pollution in the Former U.S.S.R. 1992 - 1994
Donetsk / Ukraine
A coal miner scrubs down after a day in the pits. Though relatively well-paid, they risk gas explosions and face frequent equipment breakdown to extract Ukraine’s high-grade coal. One miner, it is estimated, dies for every million tons of coal mined - 10 times the fatality rate of underground coal miners in the U. S. A.
