This photo taken on May 27, 2015 shows a safety helmet in soot on the floor of an abandoned and partly demolished building at the Shougang Capital Iron and Steel plant in Beijing. Founded in 1919, Shougang was once the largest steel plant in China, with tens of thousands of workers. But the facility was identified as the Chinese capitals biggest polluter and began a gradual shutdown in 2005 as part of an effort to improve air quality ahead of the 2008 Olympics, finally producing its last steel in early 2011. Local officials have said the 8.6 square km (3.3 square mile) facility will be turned into an arts, tourism and finance hub, but progress has been slow and the decaying site is still reportedly blighted by soil pollution built up during the plants industrial heyday.
