Final article( sorry for putting everything in the wrong place previously !)

scholarly articles related to environmental dumping that I feel would contribute to the article over Environmental dumping.

Environmental dumping is the practice of ..

"transfrontier" (why did they use this?) could there be a better term?

"the movement of...."

..shipment of waste (household waste, industrial/nuclear waste, etc.) from one country to another. The goal is to take the waste to a country that has less strict environmental laws, or environmental laws that are not strictly enforced. The economic benefit of this practice is cheap disposal or recycling of waste without the economic regulations of the original country.

An example of an attempt at environmental dumping is the story of the decommissioned French aircraft carrier, the FS Clemenceau, which was originally sold to a ship-breaking yard in Gujarat India to be demolished and recycled as scrap.

The Indian Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that it could not enter Indian waters due to the high level of toxic waste and 700 tons of asbestos present on the ship, forcing the French government to take the Clemenceau back. The ship was subsequently blocked from entering the Suez Canal for the same reason. In 2009, the task of recycling the vessel was ultimately taken over by specialist recyclers at Hartlepool in the United Kingdom.

How does the issue of environmental dumping effect different demographics located at the areas of "transfrontier of shipment waste"?

refer to links.

While this article is well written I feel the issues related to the people/areas effected by these acts could be added and be a great way to relate society to the environment.
