Abstract: Although the French President has ordered Clemenceau to head back, the politics of toxic waste and its disposal remains as murky as ever. The workers at the Alang shipyard are the worst exposed to toxic wastes by the work they do of breaking up ships past their prime. But their livelihoods are in jeopardy if ships like Clemenceau do not come to their yards. [DSF Commentary on Science and Development]
