for generations millions of indonesians have depended on the chip to run river but today the river is poised to. textile factories that supplies some of the biggest fashion brands are using it to dump talks the chemicals. on steve on this episode a one on one east we investigate the human cost of the world's most polluted river . the river fisherman like rudy no longer catch fish they catch cluster. but they are the last look. a month

will kill all of the. indonesian rivers dump two hundred thousand tons of plastered into the sea each year. but for the millions that live along the river there's something worse than plastic talks chemicals. nur has always lived here. every morning she goes to the world which is fed by the children. that need it so what if beings how much it's imagine what a man in the. fifty's how you would i'm. glad i'm now i have i don't find out if i'm. another man i'm.

sure is two children are always sick. she blames the river. we'll see. the developer tools and. now. a pipe. to move. in we're going to. keep. going to the one hundred. today the children have a doctor's appointment. nur takes them twice a month you do elder son calls you as soon as he finishes his medicine. about the heidi. a lot of the.

lot of a lot a lot more one will almost one among them. oh betty. and i had to go get them but i do monday night many m b i and every alley. so what could be making them sick. one day runs the only environmental group in the region. for seventeen years he has been surveying the chitral in search of evidence of pollution by the textile industry. because i'm not there not to be a mother just was on them but i don't have them so i don't need to impose on russia . the number by germany were gunned down by a button on the want to come to market me i know because you've got to be the

brightest not on the bull. i mean abdullah were born on the border into that open up by the city that are burning with the gun in them and. now don't look at the most upon us. in the books that are. going to. look at the portfolio. three quarters of what is produced along the river is sent abroad mainly to be u.s. and europe. one of the largest exporters in the country is the kids text group. is

tech produces mainly polyester fabric a synthetic material that requires a lot of chemicals. in these buildings one thousand machines operate twenty four hours a day seven days a week. the factory produces million liters a fabric a month. each of these machines process is the fibers with water filled with chemicals. forty liters of water for every t. shirt. the waste water then flows to the settling tanks. on bases out always thought the fifth month. oh i thought that the floods the size . fish they made that way and handed me the blank and then death if i don't think

meat that it will become a permit to. do is likely. to be. spent . really. not every day. only five measurements a day international standards require at least thirty one. yes is it true. i don't think so. but if it's not come home for you maybe you can both still need to be feel that it's on the day but i meant it's ok. you can pass but part of me fisher control is what the tax i think i put in and if i don't get it

then good. to find out what the waste water from this global textile company contains we head to the batteries water out by. thirty meters away and the water is covered with a film of white foam. if. this is what his tax did not want to show once. we take two leaders for now and since. along the river all right sphere. this is congress's lair.

little thing with the. other one will show for it might be nothing but the new. so that's my next collie that's been a thing by not. going to see it because it's a symbol of poverty in oregon yeah michelin's out. in the middle. so. it's. only it. but the unit. and i'm around not. a little program on. how can i only my in his crop is surrounded by factories. the water that you are gave his rice field is purple and frog.

he agrees to let us test his rights. as. we take our samples of rice and water to be institute of the home of. university. writes professor soon already runs the only environmental studies lib oratory in the region up for auction spectrum of three this is a show for heavy with. measurement this is. mostly chemicals chemical spider-man does you do symbols to be canonized as seen. from the rise i still under the sun so this is. it isn't water.

this is the runs from this water here this is the water. from the desert through from the waste water. but i come back you know we are going to get out i continued and to get him to see you and thank you for going. while we wait for the test results we arranged to meet some of the women and children from the village near the factories. we want her to analyze their hair to better understand which pollutants they are exposed to. to advise us we've heard the price athens are on the line. more for. he is the person to speak to in europe when it comes to researching pollutants with care samples and pens the human bio monitoring unit at the luxembourg health

institute. on joint. we know not shortage. i don't know. what to do all the. stuff you mention not so much trying to are you. going to find. it boring. but isn't this. just going to continue. to take care from ten children aged from twelve months to fourteen years.

we send them straight to professor athens our in luxembourg. as we are leaving the village we receive a call from environmental activists alerting us to night time we stop them from the fact. three. parts ok. its part of the pennies a group one of the largest subcontractors in the indonesian textile industry. the magazine. so what is this. about a. year. old. close

to the water it smells so toxic we need mess. thank you. thank you thank. you. i don't know who knows. what. will. ok. ok it is well. thank you so much thank you. should. we send these samples to a lib oratory in france that specializes in environmental study.

in the meantime dr sonority has finished his analysis of the waste water and writes he can't believe what he found he wants to see the rice fields form so one thing. or this strain this. from chromium content and by the plants we found very high twenty. eight point zero four milligrams because we found that. a lead concentration on the by the plants is much higher then come the sound that the limits will be found at twenty nine point zero three maybe milligram per kilogram while the standard only zero point five million one times three.

bodies because we actually lead this very dangerous. lead will disturb our nervous system blood central african our system so. if the children exposed to the lead then they will have like intellectual disability in the way that it is. the worst effects of the lead. i believe that the men. from the. textile industries. this rice the growth along which is solved through old indonesia will he also found the water from the guest x. factor had lead levels one point five times the international limits for industrial waste water. where there is more bad news when we receive the results for the pan asia factory where we took the water samples at night and people. at the home of environmental activist danny responded we contact professor bernard like

you the french chemist who analyzed the pan asia waste water. using. different. bar. me to lay on the good. will of course. to combine. the norm of human not. just with the detriment of the whole. city. not to release. john the aleutian. pollution.

oh. no i'm. not. this you. really believe each soon. we want to know what major clothing brands do the polluting factories supplying. we sift through dozens of globes. their labels show which ones are sourced from indonesia. we find a baby gap they're just made in indonesia. h n m sweater made in indonesia. adidas made in indonesia. we then get the lists of indonesian subcontractors

from these big brands. the factories from which we took the waste water appear on the lists including. the company is registered as one of his sub contractors it also works with other brands like unique or. it was in the pan asia water that we found high levels of non ill for a powerful hormone with high lead levels is also subcontracted by the unique lobe rare. h n m has an office in the indonesian capital jakarta. and changes from. the gate post to. captain. the director of asian m indonesia agrees to see us we made some promises.

a little interesting specially the alleged lucian. asian nation. i would like my sustainability and it is more technical level than i usually looking at but from. what i can just share is engineer who has a commitment on wastewater. and you know the world is not perfect this is of course not what we would like to see. three weeks after this interview h m m writes to us saying. we are sincerely concerned by the subject of your report h m m as the size scale and ambition to lead the change towards a truly sustainable fashion industry. they

claim independent audit of companies like. there are no levels that exceeded limits in their wastewater. the japanese brand also responded saying they consulted reports of the plant. but they would investigate further with independent experts. two hundred fifty to. work with indonesian subcontractors who dumped waste water into the. big fashion groups here are all gathered in the same association. the textile industry lobby in indonesia a key sector with a twelve billion dollar turnover. e.g. meat is their representative. so what do you need to create leave for an

environment. of out of order for someone like the cleaner for color. or big utilization or someone to take the environment is good for business. do you think the word that comes out when you have the results here do you think it can be used for drinking for irrigation i think it can be used within from us we present him our analysis of rice and water which showed the presence of industrial pollutants of textile factories including hormonal disruptors and neural toxic or carcinogen genic molecules would you drink this water this is just comes from an asia for this is one of your members we do this what are you use it for you irrigation if i only forget it i guess that even if you saw the all the problems

we do not just for your country we're looking for the environment when you see that we do not. when you talk a little bit in them and then cut the orders and the both of those simple so the grounds of the real power yes but the blame and there's still money and clothes . and then you miss. as a father what does that make you feel to see their children living around factories sometimes like this if so many and i think maybe the next fifty years we have no. but this man you know phillip maxwell. newton that's. the fifth thing of the i know. of a certain power your book following us thank you for taking some time thinking at the ministry of environment the person in charge of pollution control agrees to

meet us because he reads our analysis and seems surprised. by the thermal consists of i would. say this is good information. i think i will. want to pull this and on the total sample and. come from this number we're going to. look. but me. and you also movie. industry. that would be good news but it may be too late for the residents along the river. professor appenzeller from the luxembourg health institute has the results of the

hair analysis this kit was done does on all see those issued off on the new zero. i'm just going to go do what you're not. going to. do is. gone you know to. come that go south does hamas going to bomb toughen or dishonesty does he does it use it on others he thinks deportation or just rivas it's really you know it all took siege so he could difficult don't. just accept. that he should make pretty good bumps the need to start the next segment but he shouldn't come out don't. want to go now see i want.

to meet mobile demand textile production in indonesia and he is expected to increase by seventy five percent by twenty thirty. major clothing brands can no longer look away. too many victims are paid a heavy price. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
