Pollution

The largest concerns regarding the dam are environmental. The entire area had to be logged before the dam could be constructed which causes harmful runoff. Coal burning is a large source of air pollution too. Pollutants can build up behind the dam causing the water to be polluted. The debris caused by construction is also very harmful to the environment. Now a layer of grayish fog sits amongst cities of Chongqing and Metropolitan area. Construction workers dispose examples waste into the Yangtze and Jailing Rivers which pollutes the water greatly.
