"Nhân Cơ alumina plant's red mud containing cell unbroken", 2 October 2017

…Nhân Cơ alumina plant’s red mud containing cell in Đắk R’lấp District was unbroken….

…Some 40 locals conducted an investigation as they suspected its red mud containing cell had collapsed. However, the delegation did not detect any spill….

According to residents…all streets around the plant were flooded…. The reddish flood water led to suspicions of a red mud disaster.

At the end of July 2016, Nhân Cơ alumnia plant’s pump broke, leading to a spill of 9.58cu.m of alkaline water. A portion of it leaked into the Đắk Dao spring, resulting in fish deaths.

In mid-2017, white powder from the alkaline plant was seen coating the trees and houses of the locals.
