Tent set up over polluted soil to mask foul smell during cleanup

A huge tent was put up over the former site of an insecticide factory in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, to contain a peculiar smell emanating from polluted soil, local news website zjol.com.cn reported.

The tent in downtown Hangzhou covers about 20,000 square meters and is 36 meters high.

It was built on top of where Hangzhou Qingfeng Agricultural Chemical once stood. It was relocated in 2009, but the more than 50-year-old company left many contaminants buried in the ground.
