Quite interesting! This pickled my interest and I did some quick research on the subject:
Nice article in The Hindu, summing up the water depletion issue near a Coke plant: http://www.hindu.com/mag/2005/06/19/stories/2005061900030300.htm Reuters: http://tinyurl.com/cnjkz And BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4690703.stm More on the issue of water depletion near the Cola plants: http://tinyurl.com/7gsbu (water shortage near Cola plant, local council wants plant closed) http://tinyurl.com/7dz9d (pesticides found in Pepsi and Cola India drinks, issue unresolved with Gov labs disputing the NGO lab claims) BBC test of Coke plant sludge containing dangerous chemicals: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3096893.stm The whole audio file at BBC4 ^^^: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/rams/youandyours_20030725_5.ram (doesn't work in my browser?)
