Stone Houses in Yangjiang, China
From series “The Most Radioactive Zones on the Planet”
Yangjiang is the high-radiation area in China. Its main feature is a huge number of houses built of sand and clay brick. These building materials act as a source of a high background radiation. The fact is that the extraction of sand and clay for making bricks was carried out in one of the local mountain regions, which is rich in the rare rock element - monazite.
Yangjiang City has rich history. Today, it is known for its industrial plants that produce knives and scissors. It has become a real homeland for many people. They do not want to leave the infected place, even under the threat of death. Naturally, no one lives in old stone houses today. This area of the city has been deserted and almost completely destroyed for a long time. However, no serious measures to purify it from infected objects were performed. Thus, it possesses the threat to health of indigenous people. Next - Infected Apartment in Kramatorsk
