and a south, a mother is going to spend the rest of her life behind bars from marguerite per 3 daughters. if you could call me back, i and i see the site was part of psychosis is an awful illness. postpartum is a nasty mothers nightmare starts june, 4th on d, w ah, in the air on land, an underwater industrial, a contaminating a natural environment, often with impunity. waste and polluted threatened to help millions of people. but

it's getting hard local perpetrators to hide, join us on eco, india, as we discover efforts to track and stop toxic practices. hello and welcome. i'm funneled unlike what you see here. the pick here is that in god's many indian cities is a visual reminder of a killer lab is impossible to escape. globally, air pollution accounts was 7000000 bits every year. a city in the national capital region tops the list of the cities with the wolves, whilst we headed there to find out why ah, it has been gold, the world's most polluted city. body, about 70 kilometer is away from india's capital dead. it is an industrial hub and

under doris balloon. the recently released world air quality indexed by i q f. a swiss air monitoring company has reported that b verde has the highest point, bought a good concentration in the work bill id, the industry down and a major problem of that region are that city. it has been the industries, the industries have not adopted. the cleaner technologies, so far cleaner fuel has also not reached the city as such. so for instance, in delhi, this epi, most of the industry then on lpg or gas, which is not the case, been polarity. that's a problem. there's also a big issue of faith burning. a lot of industrial ways which is generated in the city is burned without much control is open sun for pollution and that also adds to pollution in the city. but there are also w issues of traffic this out of traffic in the city. the culprit is but to collect

matter 2.5, a dangerous fine particle with the diameter of up to 2.5 micro meters. this is much tentative than a human head. the donnie air particle can be made of toxic carbon, muddies blasted, and normal dust. it can damage the lungs, reducing their capacity to absorb oxygen. with over 100000 residents, b buddy is also heavily polluted area where the large number of people living close to cement, steel, petroleum, and plastic manufacturing plants the toxic fumes have been civilly impacting the health of the bodies residence, especially jerk. so dish a $21.00. he had all the body doesn't eat lives in one of these neighborhoods or 2 year old son jessie. he suffered from acute respiratory issues and needs regular

normalization. ha fiscal because the white i started breathed heavy. he got a coil and cuffed so he took him here. we have a machine at home and my son starts to breathe heavily. be use it. if that doesn't give him relief, we take him to the hospital anthony, at this phone. so dish believes the emissions from the factories which are mostly still gold fired long term exposure to fine dust particles can cause other health problems from awesome even to lung cancer. minor symptoms like fatigue or body aches, are widespread damage walkway open. it bo, i, i could, i split into the routine cases of acute respiratory infections range from 5 to 10 percent, but when pollution rises, it reaches up good 20 percent and nobody in kodak. acres is infection, cookies, buddy, up in, under sinking. please mandated that the people who work,

i'll doze on at high risk. i'm or g god does construction work to provide for his family. he has little choice but to risk his own health to on money to survive. la began uncle evelyn de la la la la la mice and company i took a lease. companies have fun. this is buttoning inside and a light diesel oil company nearby creates a lot of pollution. this should be penalized, but it is not. what can we do? we have labors, we have to add money to eat me up. in 2021. the government came up with the local action, blonde, cleaner fuels like compressed guess a pipe, natural gas, making those alternatives accessible to all industries is a major infrastructural challenge. so far, only 20 percent of industries in the bravado region have shifted to cleaner fuel electricity. if possible, if electricity not possible at me still gasp,

it looks less. and for that that infrastructure needs to reach the city and that needs to be made. and this electricity or gas needs to be made available to the industry at the rate which is compatible and company to both for them so that they don't go back. arthritis used either he was in need or as royalty is one of the few industrialists who switch from coal to natural gas. he owns a conveyor belt, manufacturing plant, installing a by natural gas or b and g system was costing how to sub the allusion, normally increases each year after the d valley festival. yet then if there were a decision was made to shift from cold by natural gas a, but they didn't, i used to be up in ve lying equality. but in general though the pendulum opened nippy, we shifted to pinnacle right away and quickly. and i hope well or didn't what he

may not be in the line. i ought they. hm. they aren't that he got the i'm the boiler bunch of the i r b in deductible. rod, he says that switching from cold to b and g has helped him to reduce emissions. he says it is a relief to provide a healthier environment before his workers. not use your money, even though i'm benefits in cost of business. it we failed this was that i choice and considering that listening lucia hm. the for i knocked down those. yeah. but hippies, italy, apple a sudden i cannot believe the city council is now taking action to improve the lives of the body residence in the future. crash bunting will be more closely monitored and dumps will be constructed for industrial with the administration has already introduced other measures. think that i'm in the, in the few months since the air quality report was published, the government has begun monitoring pollution on the rules that they have planted more cheese lee up being more attention to wiki. we hope to see them through hillman without again,

business on morality has also taken the 1st steps in the right direction. now it is up to the estimated 300 other businesses in body who still use a lot of dirty energy to follow his lead. unlike apaloosa, contamination of marine and violence can be harder to detect, especially when it's done illegally. one culprit ships polluting the world's oceans with oily waste water as that a bottle of discoloured whistles, bypass involvement, laws to save time and money with disastrous consequences. ah, this shaky video was filmed secretly inside of a think of ship secretly, because he shows something that should not be there. did you see it? that's what it again. there it is. ah, this is

a bail to bump. chips use it to a legally damp toxic wasting the ocean facebook is, is called belt dumping and it's causing one of the worst environmental disasters at see 1st, let's look at what builds water is. a belt is the lowest spot of a ship, but the 2 sites meet the edge water is the water that accumulates here except it's not exactly water. ringback ships of this size are massive machines with lab, your intake pipe systems, engines bigger than coach buses. burning streams of heavy fuel oil. the pipes can leak the oil cars spill and the engines need cooling and cleaning. are all these liquids are collected in the belt? and it's not a nice view. oh, we know very well that oil can chopping kill animals. well, bells water contains oil diluted with water plus various chemicals and heavy metals

. oil can suffocate and intoxicate fish and birds, and even if they survive, their offspring might not. phase is the heart of a normal healthy fish larva. these is that of a larva exposed to oil, the result, a small heart, a slower heart, eat and lower chances of surviving. ah, then what is so toxic that it has been regulated for more than 50 years? it's a hellish drainage. you really don't wanna damp in the ocean to find out what happens to our oceans. we looked at them from the sky. this is a problem that has been personally bothering me for most of my career. this is john amos. he found out about the build dumping problem 20 years ago when he found the sky truth. we're nonprofit organization that uses satellite imagery to shine a spotlight on environmental issues around the world. and more precisely radar satellites,

which 20 years ago, where a very new technology and we learned one of the things it's really good for, is detecting oil slicks out in the ocean companies where already using it to discover oil deposits. when you fly into small oil, slicks, it's always in the same place, is a clear sign that there's the oil in the rock down there. a tables have turned in on those same images. it was regularly see these dark streaks on the water. there were not natural that often had a big ship the vessel, the n enter bills dumping in at the time. looking at those slicks, there was no way for us to identify the vessels that were responsible. it could take hours for the satellite to send an image. by the time the received the vessel was long gone, it was an extremely frustrating thing, but everything changed with

a i s that is automatic identification system, it's use is also required by international law. so that vessels can avoid running each other. ships are now required to transmit their position with the radio signal. satellites can pick up the signal and record the movement of every ship. you know, the exact time in the exact place from that satellite. and then we can find the broadcast, the match that most closely in space and time. and when we put it on the screen, we had a clear match of that of one track. clearly matching the path of the slick for this investigation. algorithms were trained to automatically recognize potential spills in one year. we found $1500.00 potential dams in you waters alone, the whole done. this weighs roughly equivalent to 5 times the 989 exxon valdez

spiel. one of the worst marine environment though, even worse death, a conservative estimate, and even wars, hardly anybody knows about it in the even wars faces are deliberate practice. so why are we not holding companies accountable? there are other features on radar satellite imagery that can look like an oil slick . it could be caused by ships carrying fish, oil, vegetable oil, or by other element. it's not sufficient at this point in any courts of law that i'm aware of. but in combination with other things, it can be powerful, accessory evidence to help make a legal case to be taken as proof of visual confirmation must come from someone on the ground. mm hm. so in a police line here,

because with the german coast guard them on one of the inspections that been how they ship. hello captain. nice to meet you. we are, he had to carry out a marble inspection with the bids water is collected down here. i said this whole and finally the bids wanted passes through these ali water separator with wanting to regulate inspections over a move. so captain,

that's the attachment boat on spectrum all with no deficiencies. thank you. no problem at this time. but that doesn't mean builds dumping isn't happening. postcards, only inspect the fraction of the ships and only check those already docking a port. not the nicest, where the dumping occurs. but there's some one else on the ground that can confirm what satellites reveal. someone who follows these ships wherever they go. whistleblowers. hello, a hello. how are you? i'm good little noise. how are you? i'm good. this is one of 5 whistleblowers with talked with. we decided to withhold his name to protect his identity. thanks to his description, we build a 3 d model of foul builds. dumping works here is the build stick and here is the notorious builds pump. so what we did was speed that pump not switched from the

bench to another down corners, the theme drain back. i know those of us, but the doctor stuck, only clean liquid comes into it and be hot visit. it is judged the contents of dot idea with and here you have it bands dumping one along, but there are positive developments. the new generation of radar imaging, satellites that are coming are going to have multi polar, multi frequency radar systems where we do have an ability to discriminate the type of material that's been discharged and will even be able to say something about the thickness doyle slick satellite technologies getting so much better that he could one day be enough to incriminate offenders until then

we rely on whistleblowers to stop this practice. so unless there is someone on board, if they disagree, guts, of without insight, their testimonies are crucial for investigations like this. we shouldn't have to rely on their courage to protect our osha o illegal pollution, of course doesn't just happen out of feature. romania is a dumping ground for trash unlawfully shipped there from all over europe. it's a multi 1000000000 euro business run by wisc smugglers. but investigators a hot on the heels this is an illegal landfill outside bucharest, last year. ok? harvey in baton, who was head commissioner of romanian, environmental guard, leading an investigation into arson at the site with the little brought them out of them. a lot of garbage was burned here for 20 minutes. there was a lot of smaller bicycle to more far as like that. and the south of congress would

be engulfed in smoke and stern. sure. this was apple quarters to be several times in recent years at pollution in the romanian capital has exceeded e u limits a 100 times over. heavy traffic is one cause, but so 2 is the illegal burning of waste. some of which it emerged comes from germany. last summer romanian border police made a major discovery in the black sea port of constantia more than 1800 tons of suspicious waste. it had been declared as plastic, but it also contained metal tires, batteries, and even carcinogenic asbestos. it's against a new law to miss label shipments and export. hazardous waste. we had to germany and europe's 3rd largest port, hamburg romanian authorities. and greenpeace have implicated a company based here in illegal waste shipments over the phone. the metal recycling

company may law says it doesn't want to comment. it failed to respond to an official pressing query we sent 10 days earlier. then suddenly the manager appears as you don't know, what we hear about illegal shipments from may low found in romania wheeler go. no, no, no, you're being prosecuted. therefore though i've met nonsense, it's been cleared up. it's a mistake. would you like to say that on camera? i'm about. i'm not the right person to talk to that you are. that's why we called you the ones illustrated nama and no cameras. a few minutes later, the manager acknowledges he's aware of remaining investigation, but insists his company's waste shipments were legal, legal mean? mm hm. i know the romanians are investigating, but they didn't analyze the shipment. they glanced at it and thought, oh, there's some cables and a circuit board in there with. but d, w has seen the reports compiled by romanian prosecutors and analysis by

a german lab found that the shipment included undeclared toxic components. back in romania we may talk tavian, but channel at the landfill. again, he is no longer in uniform. he was fired. did his dismissal have to do with his efforts to stop trash smuggling? the circuit thickly, morgan is up. pick out of this is organized crime, harder the showed are shifting ways from countries like germany and i believe that britain marsh, italy but also from bulgaria and romania itself is the cheperdak rural mutable good . it was, some of this waste has travelled thousands of kilometers to get here. the e commission says germany is a key market for waste smugglers. the humbug case is just one of many under investigation by prosecuted tail danita. he says, the problem isn't just dishonest business owners, but also corrupt politicians of hubbard possible. so no,

the only means lemay lee. one minister's answer left me speechless while talk was what you said. we trying to do it because it would unger the big cement producers of our gym, lacrosse up until cassandra may have a strong lobby. got all the doors in the potomac. he heads to the harbor for another inspection was from us. i just got a call from the judicial authority on a boat, coordinating the case with germany and belgium, georgia. in romania charges have already been filed against the humbug based company. china band, the import of plastic waste in 2018. ever since western european countries have increasingly shipped their garbage to romania, bulgaria and poland. germany is considered a world leader in recycling and achievement. it seems that wouldn't be possible without its waste exports to eastern europe, governments and international organizations like interpol,

have the power to bring west offenders to justice. but addressing environmental contamination on a local level can yield results to. we have 2 examples from the north and the south of india, where women are the ones spearheading drives to clean up their communities. clean water for washing and drinking is something that has only recently done to the village of allan cancer local women. the pursuer did residence to meet regularly and clear the stream of plastic with most of and dumped by to this tracking on nearby glacier trans. don't you go? what do resources are getting polluted if you get into white? so we're trying to keep the water gain in our village, all of us, including elders and children, dick it as our responsibility to clean the street. i'm proud of doing it as long as i live in this village that i will keep the stream clean. craft aclu alarm is

nestled in the mountains and indian, the steward of jam when kashmir, the stream is de lucas, only source of fresh water to keep it clean. every household has built a septic that, that's put a stop the open definition on the streams. bangs allan let through as our benefit, while we had a good i will diver malice. oh it is. that is possibility of every house will here to keep the village clean. asked is the 1st village along the cause of the stream. it flows down to hundreds of other religions. so if we keep it clean that others will follow to saturday when anna of ira banjo, whether in the country or in the city in india, it's often vivian who start such initiatives. clean water and electricity are red and poor neighborhoods. many people use jealousy, lambs and cook on open fire, both of which can cause lung disease and both emit climate heating, carbon dioxide, blocks me lives in an informal settlement and lung along

sola. mont hima says the lambs have made a world of difference to her family, they may know, but after that, all that on days we would run out of kerosene and had to be without like that till we could buy more somebody and back then we didn't even have mobile phones to use as flashlights. i guess we would cook and eat and live in darkness. to be honest, the solar lights haven't just let my home life did lit up my life. i'm doing a name, banking them. so a lot of live in rural and urban communities demons commitment to affect change despite limited meeks is bringing benefits to their own life, to their neighborhoods and the environment to the west. and you shouldn't be creat on. he's not going anywhere. we don't have a plan to be to send this to as each one of us takes action counter this to be

a future generations can be assured that they will have access to a clean, green and a healthy planet. i'll leave you with that and see you again next week. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah, with, [000:00:00;00]
