The chimneys of the former Sant Adria del Besos Thermal Power Plant rise in front of the Litoral beach, which has been closed to the public since June due to the presence of polluting elements in its sand. Confirmed potentially carcinogenic health risk on the beach comes from the dumping of waste that were carried out until the 80s in this industrial past area that went from the north coast of Barcelona to Badalona. The storms of the last year and a recent action on the beach would have raised the risk of contamination.
