On August 31, a report called "The Other Side of Apple II", co-released by five non-governmental environmental organizations after a seven-month investigation, detailed claims of how Apple's Chinese suppliers, who make iPhone and iPad parts, pollute the environment.
The report alleges that 27 suspected Apple suppliers were responsible for severe pollution problems, ranging from toxic gases to heavy metal sludge. In one case, the report said, a nearby village experienced a "phenomenal rise in cases of cancer."
Apple responded quickly to the report, pledging that it will investigate all instances of alleged pollution.
