China’s environment ministry appears to have acknowledged the existence of so-called “cancer villages” after years of public speculation about the impact of pollution in certain areas.

For years campaigners have said cancer rates in some villages near factories and polluted waterways have shot up.

But the term “cancer village” has no technical definition and the ministry’s report did not elaborate on it.

There have been many calls for China to be more transparent on pollution.
