Thousands of tons of harmful slime dumped into sand pits
A polluter was handed a prison term on Friday in the capital's most serious environmental protection case to date.
The sentencing followed a trial during which the court heard that thousands of tons of sewage sludge containing heavy metals and bacteria had been dumped into suburban pits in groundwater protection areas between 2002 and 2007.
