A long flue leads to the chimney from the old lead/zinc smelter at Namtu, Myanmar. The lack of vegetation on the hillside around the chimney is a good indication of the heavy metal fallout.

Kellogg, Idaho looked like this 30 years ago, due to smelter fumes, but the vegetation has now recovered to the point that it's become an upscale real estate/summer home area!
