Rusty pipes and spilled oil in the Albanian oil field at Ballsh in central Albania

---

Rusty pipes and spilled oil from the Albanian oil field. Years of neglect and under-investment have resulted in an environmental disaster with oil leaking from pipes and tanks and soaking into the ground. The air is heavy with the smell of crude oil and it is a health hazard to the people who live and work in the area
