India's toxic marble dump draws tourists, sickens locals

What looks like a snowy landscape in Rajasthan's arid desert is actually a massive dump yard for marble waste, now drawing hundreds of daily visitors. The white mounds create a striking visual contrast against the dry surroundings, turning the site into an unexpected tourist spot. But for nearby residents, the fine marble dust is a serious health hazard, causing respiratory issues and other illnesses.

Would you visit a place like this if you knew the health risks to locals?
