Alang Ship Dismantlers, India

"Workers dismantle "Blue Lady" ship at the Alang shipyard, about 260 km (162 miles) west from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad October 1, 2007. Environmentalists, including Greenpeace, say the 46,000-tonne Blue Lady contains toxic waste like asbestos, risking the health of poorly equipped workers at the Alang ship-breaking yard in the western state of Gujarat."
