if i can do it, leaves me. you can do better than any minutes. some of the how to make our toxic was a little better. i know, i don't mean blocking your toxic friends and social media. hello and welcome. i'm so have you got the body and you all watching eco into our modern industrialized world is producing more toxins than ever before. that now in our food, you know, and even on water, water quality across several parts of the world is getting worse. you ended up as us that 80 percent of the was the waste water is discharged back into the

environment without any proper treatment. so where do we stand right now and what can be done? let's dive into today's episode to find more on says ben, google, the city with the housing leaks now only has a few 100 of them left on bowls to couldn't stagnated with dr. look, now, these lakes are being revised and that is a benefit even for the food in this id hub. um, but how are licks, especially toxic lakes and kitchens connected to each other? let's find out now that i do is taking care of the landscape at the nature he lives in jekyll. that's some of opening a new to the city has become lucky i to help in recent decades. and it is the sprawling, the ones about 2000 leagues here, but no more than 3 quarters of them have disappeared. you cannot get into it,

was that the problem is that people want more space and more development. i've gotten rid of it. so the government describing, i would look at these hit and do you have what that can do, leasing all the sewage water into the dns leak. leaks are fine, but the sewage water needs to be filtered, treated, and kept clean, but a pretty good marty lee and i give you the vehicle and other building codes. your mouse is a senior fellow at the ciocca trust fund research. she tries to explain how this development could have happened. now the water supply interest sector developed, but what happened is the researcher teeth went into effect. it did not develop at the same place as a result. strong water drains we took, getting historically only rainwater started receiving on to, to, to be smart. and this onto 3rd waste water started slowly into these leaks with drastic consequences. in march of 2021. belinda lake caught fire again.

6 years after the previous 500000000 liters of untreated waste water continued to flow into the lake each day. and the engineering not only look on the fly, life toxic substances have long been found in the areas farmland. the largest tv that much ended up of the indian institute of science investigated the effects of things that lose polluted legs on livestock and crops. reconnected to reach them, but then the government, the downstream of the nate, you know, and they also at the beginning a, the i the, this one fish, except the me. ok. when we analyze all the, the food costs the food and it'd be meant to have been with them in the book. jenny, the cd has gone. so they're not that this web. the thing if you do the read for you

sure. like can still technique. they don't accept the evidence on of the problems, you know, now new to citizens, initiatives and organizations in the city. people here frontier cleans x back on the money. god has made it his job to clean the lakes. 40 years ago he set up a foundation to make it easier to, to use the necessary funds because it won't look the old money. yeah, i think type of makes one is i did. one is filled with so which one is naturally. so they did like a lot of thing just in the top of your feet, catchment area of vision and log off. now last has been this type. you open up the now let's see that, what do we link that into the lake and deluxe. we watch the holding capacity to a sprint with seeing all definitely the risk list and that'll be the more everything designed. you can no longer lead, stay in water flow into the leaks instead that succeed funny. this is intended to

revitalize the slides. micro climate energy storage. as i said, we did for wildlife. the water in the leak is naturally beautified by the heat and floating islands that could take plants. but it can go to a lot of things. naturally beautification alone is not enough to address pollution coming from base. what does the need to have these wastewater treatment plants need to be solutions? loans, they are supplementary to the systems themselves. are not sufficient. even though bank the little has just invested in 7 sewage treatment plans, they're not enough to to, to be swapped out of the metro, pointless of 10000000. the this is chuck or lick at $160.00 hector's. it is one of the cities biggest echo just so much in the us team has combined log base purification here. but simple

technical quarter to 10. what we did was we ended it that the edward led and all they filed with the statement, right? so a large proportion of to plus photos, b and nitrogen and could be removed. well that from the different plans, all that removing that good, we go, i, uh, when it was supposed to look up selected, went to learn the 3. what was that again, made up by the beginning and some part of the why we move and it wasn't to be icon for did remove the legal part of the month by the, in the bank, the little developing to talk to you, initiated through the violation of particularly or, and it is now managed by too hot to bang a little more knock that out by the case of civic body. and the citizen group, just pushing past the lake country supports the livelihood of 70 percent of families who have been centered to its upkeep.

difficulties, you know, we have the entire community like we have the glass good. does we have the fisherman's, we have the home dogs, we have the local, the groups. so we have many things happening at the lake, so it's like a be good connect of the community. give it a, please take or do this. i'm always logged in. finally, the convergence has conservation if anybody wants to comes of this legs even if everyone but to contribute to maintaining the quality of the deep water, the, to, to, to water what us to not be, think of it but i can't get them by that. but it's difficult to use the water for daily purposes. it has to be filtered, really valid for the sometimes the league stainless everything that the government is doing is fine, protecting beautification, etc. but the water didn't not build are still of the cookie one sewage treatment plants and think a noodle only reported to be scientifically money to for waste water treatment

contaminated food continues to be a problem as and to take this water is still being used for finding the state also being the commission to a vast majority of loss of shipping vessels are scraped on the south asian shores forming a major risk for the walk us and to the cost an equal system come with us on an investigative wage to go on the was 2nd largest ship breaking yard to witness these environmental impact 1st tend. who did, does a thorough did seattle fishermen spent all of his life catching fish alone to she duck on the coast line of bung with dish? but presently dusk noticed a troubling change in the mary nichol system. it will have one on it must be the idea that it was much more efficient. the good ones out of the boat would be for

the 2 next, you know, even 20 to 30 minutes. so fish less than that on the fish, i'm including the job. so i just how does this on a well yes, many even left the area after sending that property is to dp debts. land that about the easy he blames the broken up ships along the shore football using the water. research shows that up to 10 percent of the giant ships weight is made above as best as heavy metals boil . and other toxic substances due to poor management in these yards. toxic material ends up being the environment still go is the 2nd largest city in bangladesh. the not distant part of the sports cd guarantees home to 40 c, breaking yards, spending approximately 20 kilometers along the coast. research it bro bought

a boat who has examined the marion bite over city here. but to be able to hear by uh for each one of the last 20 years on the fisherman, long gone, stuck on the coastline. last 25, a species of fish, a one of the most important elements of flooding. biodiversity. the macro bent is like snails and oysters, on most extent, on this coastline to back on 5 bw people to try to get the top of the introduction to tow near the shipyard of caesar. she break and wants to share his experience, and only mostly, it'd be like a spoken on paper. they said david, provide protective, get such as boats. helmets gloves regularly, but the problem is replacements and never fulfilled. the ones that sort of our

customers are using dollars as make shift. most folks sense protection. they're not really i'm level of we need this for the new drums with them. so i just looked at the end of the, i'm gonna keep breaking on these goals is a very dangerous job, and workers often suffer accidents in 2022 alone and use reported f as 10. that's and 33 injuries long term health issues. a chronic problem for many workers, the environmental field, since you don't see more long term research is needed to determine the extent of environmental impacts on despite the precepts showing that the labels succeed w, i chose the on health standards. i'm going to do the comprehensive, the studies from relevant departments out of sentient for a better assessment because it is, i'm gonna go based on the what you're going to say

. there is one us on an environment to lawyer. an activist feels that the government is not responding properly to the hazards of breaking for human health. is watched the breaking industry offers to people experiencing poverty is not employment, but catholics and sort of like asbestosis and cancer. is there a teacher at vista's, d, v d b c, b lift, storage environment where to find the item sections fruitless. besides a lack of equipment and release to ship saying that nobody is dis phone except for the in the twist. when it is precisely the in, but as we use, that is all the problem according to international local law. i do not see any significance of these inspections that you use. 2013,

she breaking recycling regulation mandates. eco friendly, sheep dismantling, and prohibits europe. and ships from being scrapped outside approved yards. despite these investigations show that you will be in flag ships are often dismantled in salvation yards. so convincing the rules to turn, the body saves and flex changes. the recent documents updating by dw, uncover incomplete ownership details, highlighting enforcement challenges. in the matter of fact, the shipping companies based in the global north, a new or a for instance, when they have to, we legally explore it the ship for breaking to south asia. the, they often these were present fox and lied to authorities about the final destination of the vessel as a way to avoid being coats in response to inquiries, the u commission. acknowledge to them as a city for stronger implementation of the u. ship recycling regulation. but stated

that enforcing laws properly is the responsibility of law enforcement and national courts in member states. what does she breaking industry makes is crucial for bangladesh as economy providing steve and jobs. along with this has to be sent to ratified the home convention on the safe ship recycling, making it the se consolidation nation to do so after india at this renovated shipyard. and so you're talking to one of the owners claims to be the standards as best as it does separate, but i don't know how to separate a specialist. do you need a special machine which be have imported from europe. so fronted the center. this management festivities built even the process to enters the holidays. thank you. want to separate us. and here's the orange auto separator. this separates on from

bought into this thing. all of that go to the tank in e as a whole. lot of my product and the water is discharged into the see the what i mean, what that, what about the on the shipyard has a concrete beating so face, designed to push really support the beach and back in tucker, environmental activists. the sun is not happy with any probation of beating under the home convention to the demos to greenwashing agent, maybe the base countries, including all the fish a bundle of these to sign the hong kong convention which bomb it beating. however, would normally allow beating within its borders bundle dishes gunman should adhere to european standards. differentiation in certain cases is not acceptable. to really address the environmental damages and bundle dish solid international grooves. we don't do polls or isn't she

a recycling old vessels into scrap. we'd be lost income source, but this means more ships continue ending up on solid issue in cost. clearly, as the sol shipwrecks auto major problem and add items, national jewels are needed to make a difference. let's head to a shipyard in belgium to understand the business of ship wrecking the complicated process of recycling and the possibilities and challenges, or it's an attractive job it's, it's a, it's every a changing job. you go to different ships, different types of chips, the different methods of working. so it's a very various jump if you want, with temperatures just above freezing and rain falling steadily. his enthusiasm seemed admirable. the boss and his nearly 20 strong team know their ships inside

out. you would think they'd been to see themselves. they know exactly what they can extract from former navy boats. for example. the civilian i have here, they are of interest to me. all the ships, many precious metals, and we get so many different materials out about that all the cop uh, bronze or different arrows. uh what's the other ships? it's a bit different on the boat is which on the here at this recycling yard in belgium . all materials are neatly separated and disposed of if necessary. the toxic materials are stored in a separate hall and treated as hazardous waste. a large proportion of the ships can be recycled and then sold on. obviously, the ship is maybe 90 percent, a scrap anyway. but all the rest of the materials also recycled like the

woods oils all these stuff. so we, we are 97 to 98 percent of recycling and it's only a very small proportion. the ends up in landfill. the steel is sorted separately. it's an important raw material for companies that build new ships. peter winton tells us the belgian authorities visit every 3 months to ensure that safety standards are being met and, and everyone is wearing protective gear. staff here are well aware of how bad the working conditions are for the majority of their colleagues in asia who it's not good alternative safety. is there a lot of accidents nearby on the loss of different people are allowed on the ship just as they are? there's all your flowing out, it's not like that. well here,

everything is on your has to comply with international standards and laws, which is how it should be. what was the norma with 1010? but none of the big container ships end up here. only small fishing trawlers or the occasional navy or police boat, or even the biggest shipping companies still send their vessels to asia or turkey for scrapping because it's much cheaper. the european union has a list of ship breaking yards approved for their environmental standards and work or safety, but only around 40 of them are actually in europe. it's quite clear that here in, in, in, in europe we all already, uh, very regulated by older legislation, which is not the case in the, in other countries like turkey or let alone asia. and these, these people are like, and 13, we've got, uh today we got 9 yard. so i think on the e your list. and they are not competing with the same standards as us,

european based yards. so they are taking the market, the weight from us. some of the methods used to ship ranking yards in asia are extremely harmful to the environment. include the practice of deliberately beaching the ship, which is prohibited in europe. experts are calling for tougher rules. making the european shipping companies directly responsible for following european law when they're sending their muscles for for recycling. so that would be one way of strengthening the regulation. europe. ship ranking yards should actually be getting more custom. the european ship owners association been co sense. the number of vessel slinked it for recycling is set to double over the next 8 years, reaching 15000. the hope is that the larger shipping companies will be willing to cut their profit margins and have more ship scrapped in europe. we believe that the

shipping cycle to kind of forward to do it sustainably and when they say that it costs them a fortune is kind of twisting and twisting it. but the issue because they will also re, i mean money by selling their muscles for cycling in your advice. so it has value, it's a lot of good quality scraps too. but peter winton, is skeptical. his shipyard was one of the 1st to gain use certification 10 years ago, but he says the ship owners have a huge lobby, allowing them to avoid scrapping their vessels in europe. they planning to change the waste chip and regulation. so in order to put ation yards on the, on the your list and i think whenever that happens we all back to square one. i think the best thing to do is that your flag chips just must be recycled on you based yards. scrapping these 2 fishing trawlers won't bring in much profit,

but for now the big boats are sailing to cheaper and less restrictive shores linkages and spend from septic tanks are north of the site. in fact, in sufficient sewage water management damages the environment and several other parts of the world. that is an entrepreneur in mulatto who has come up with a sustainable solution, bio septic tanks, that can also recycle sewage water. the water, the, the vice folding over his flowers was recently used to wash the dishes. all the waste water from his house ends up in a bio tank. implement and the one, what do we do? we should keep natured in mind because it is the ultimate power of the moment, so we should try our best not to put a new one on me to go with the conventional septic tank, the waste water is elected,

an empty that they get into is it's not uncommon for that, we support do end up in rivers and lakes, but using the environment according to cyber akash from the city of crime. but those are the bio tanks, the sewage water gets recycled, it can be used for different purposes, are drained into the ground. doing a lot of new under this is how it works. all the waste water from a house who ends up in a collection tank. there it is mixed with enzymes, they hope the bacteria to convert the sludge into water very quickly from their bosses to the filtration pack. here small, the body goes, are collected and treated again. at the end, the beautified water is discharged from the tank. some fold it into the ground. are those what do they got in with it? like the well, he has to get used to having a biological withdrawing it, but it didn't take long. but the, the loan, the water is here and negotiate. one thing that we need to be cautious about is

cleaning generally. we clean once or twice a week, but it's important not to use any citrix products at all in red cases. if we are away on vacation for a month, or if someone accidentally uses acid for cleaning, then there's a chance that the bacteria can die depending on the money. but to the level. then we have a release of the enzymes that you have, which is safe to do on the body. otherwise it is generally low maintenance and then they wonder if he's running it on that. so maintenance under this from the companies on the eco friendly bio dogs have another advantage. the cost only half as much as the conventional septic tanks. they may be made of concrete metals, the plastic, depending on the location and the conditions. put the cash. i'm not going to kick them without me giving you the 1st examine the 80 over the time because to be better if it's low, can visit the site in person. if it's somewhere else, we ask them to send us a video. we also need information like how many people are living in the household

and how frequently? yes, since visit the house. we then design the tank according to normally our thanks have a capacity of 1000 leaders signed by the know to donald. but you know, i lead to a couple of seating photos. don't even need to clean the bio septic tanks themselves. that do is done by the eco friendly bacteria on free of charge. well, doesn't sound very yummy, but it's a pretty common practice of crossing the far um california recycling switch. what pulled up costs. but increasingly as what a scarcity becomes a real check for millions across the globe, we will have to do several more such things to ensure that our water bodies are less and less but you. but you let me know what would you like to see more off on the show? you can email us or reach out to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week until then take a good buy from us. gosh,
