In 2007 the village acquired the nickname China's "Village of Death" due to the extremely high incidence of cancer in its population. In addition, the local river, the , known locally as "The Dead River", is Shangba's only water supply, and it has become so polluted that it is endangering the health of those living nearby. One of the major pollutants in the river and well water is lead, which a provincial research institute reported as being present in the well water at some fifteen times what the national government set as a maximum acceptable rate for drinking water. The presumed source of the pollution is the for zinc, once Asia's largest mine for this mineral. The village's crops are also highly contaminated.
