setting the scene for a possible concerts as well showed out with parliament. this is due to the news in berlin, and remember, you can get much more news on our website. that's d, w dot com. the result of the logic is waging a battle against authorities to do nothing in the face of an imminent environmental catastrophe. here at the sight of a former chemical and arguments factory toxic waters threatens to flow into poland, vist julie river, and destroyed the ecosystem for the activist. it's a grueling fight what the cost is supposed to come. you. i pay a very high price for what i do go. so it means a lot of hassle. not just for my private life, but overall the most,

you particular stocky. but maybe there needs to be someone who points out that what's happening here is not right. pushing in utah in the history of poland and also of the world. we have always been people who were pioneers, each of them who were able to change every thing because of our people too much as me know. the notion of was, it is at the side of the former as doctor and chemical plant. if it goes to during the 2nd world war, germany produced explosives in gun powder here. then from 1948 on it was run by polish authorities. c later, the plant added chemical production, the for decades,

toxic substances unimpeded into the soil, contaminating the ground water. the reason the this is one of many areas on the site of the former plant. nearby was the pain department. today the social welfare office is just about 300 to 400 meters from here. hold them. and my mothers with their children and many other residents go there. oh yeah, they live, i rid of one label. there is a very toxic substance. i'm going to show the photos of the labels to come as a business so they can determine what it is. so yes, i'll let that come up of the next to me. nobody does anything. it doesn't seem to matter to them. even the environmental agency ignores that. so going to be the, the saw him was

a company, the size of a city. it had 20 kilometers of roads, 70 kilometers of train tracks. even its own train station. there was a hospital stores, canteens, a cinema, in 2015, everything was shut down. the renate of logic grew up nearby. as a child, she was constantly sick. her illnesses were likely triggered by industrial fumes. for 6 years now, she's been fighting to get this toxic waste land decontaminated. she writes letters

to politicians, dress petitions files complaints with the police and spreads the word on facebook. so far anything. no one in a society has shown serious concern. on the contrary, renada of logic has been harassed for drawing attention to the authorities, failures the. she's received death threats on facebook and her car was vandalized. the of the 45 year old is a trained to gerontology test who could be taken care of elderly people. she previously taught nurses therapists and caregivers how to look after seniors. but

ever since she started advocating for the environment, she's been unemployed. she says her job applications are rejected. she's regarded as a trouble maker. now the single mother of a teenage daughter makes ends meet by preserving and selling fruits and vegetables . the probably will be sure to be on the interest because after the group sees the name make preserves is more uh, mazda is like, my mother used to use 90 percent of the preserving jars in the basement or from her mom's home. since i have no income and don't earn anything else from this is very good for us to call to the community. yes, we have our own stocks and it's cheaper. a ranada of logic

lives in her parents house with her daughter, a dog cast in wing over a village right next to the former plant. the former premises obsession occupies a huge area. more than 7000 people worked here strictly separated from the outside world. the in recent years, logistics and distribution halls have been built next. the dilapidated production building. new businesses have settled here, the

june, the gushing us of, i'm the not the of was you were not sure if logic is meeting with former plant workers and you will need them ship. they do not want to give their names out of fear of repercussions. me village you work. i sucked them for a long or 30 years total at the plans and the teams at zach them directly came in for us for lunch. nice. me, i'll send you uh, 40 years. so just you know, to, of was, it wants to know about working conditions of the plan. how safe was it? were there ever any accidents on the job? one of these men also worked with a dangerous chemical called on helene at the plant. it impacted his health. never been one time i had to replace a gasket in one of the buildings and inhaled some other line off to it. someone looked at me and said, go to the doctor immediately. my lips and in the said already turn blue. i was

admitted to the hospital in state for 8 days. i wasn't allowed to leave the bad ones when i went to the toilet and scolded me my you were in was black and stuff also is are you still in contact with your colleagues from the unaligned department today? i don't know why there's these people on to in this well, specifically usually died. no, probably most days are looking for somebody nearby. but there's something i'm lucky to have what they're so long neutral. mm. that goes on. did a lot of toxic chemicals get into the sort of thing there gives me about for, by the soil. and i don't show much any to know it does how there's a lot of, you know, it depended on the number of accidents. when there were accidents, everything went into the air into the ground, and we couldn't dispose of it fast enough. gas went into the air and liquid into the ground. now we're facing the consequences. nature absorbed it and now wants to

clean itself. we must help out. i know shaq and i should get the to know how polluted the plant side is. they say that the soil should be replaced and the side the contaminated. so why is nothing being done? the good thing about these is there's no money for this because in reality, no one's interested. sweep it under the rug, don't talk about it. that's how it works. take a look around. there's a lot of green array implants. everything's beautiful. and what conclusions are drawn from that, and if it were really poison, nothing would grow. that's the perception that these are feature that i can but application, as my colleagues said, there's no will to change things and get us. the money is often spent on causes that could wait or less important to people need to get involved and we shouldn't give up to she is on gosh, oh my god, i don't know. probably it's about what the,

this woman is willing to talk to us on the condition of anonymity. she also lives in wing, all right, next to the former factory site, the she and her family are living with the effects of the pollution here does not to put them is the way to go, but that's how we suffer from cancer. and while you got that the close to your brother died as lung cancer, i found you. my father is bone and throat can cause you though, is because uh, some of our neighbors also have kids see either to water cancer and breast cancer. oh, it does not do that as long as you that we have you. i was recently diagnosed with aside right to march mom. not as you know, the smoke old not any living with people small at the moment. but no one knows how

it will develop. its will come here from those, but i've known i've, i've been at the same disney the scene. i have a daughter with a disability. she has genetic damage and yes, and one knows why there's most at the surface book, this book of virginia. while i also had a miscarriage, doesn't bother glove this. me a bid on your own. we often have headaches and burning eyes just on the travel stopped on them. but as soon as we returned, we get headaches. again, i keep it there. i start to burn diversity like you some these are the some of the of the is because it's just because i mean if i'm not positive ownership, it's effects of, you know, she, it's all just swept under the rock with gym. everything is done to prevent this massive problem from coming to life talk is they're trying to keep it a secret and ensure people don't talk about it too much. i'm just back after school

. just use the going from. it's the say, think, i think we're going to, what's this my both are per se, all the g o scientists body shop and don't talk to somebody from the h e h university of science and technology and crack of our friends, a ranada of logic. so the money is chopped has been researching environmental pollution, caused by chemical substances for more than a decade. they would just use one of yours, published several scientific studies grove, auto talked to carrie. it's from bid, gosh. she brought her dissertation on this topic. i hope that the scientists

had been appealing to politicians for years. we made it clear that the site must be secured, but nothing's happened. for years eve of those pollutants are slipping into the ground to this it's sad that so much time passes between damage assessments and disclose the whole thing. and so by the supervisor the scientists investigations showing urgent need for action. so some stun 6 to the is and this just seems a little bit of seeing what all of these substances, especially paula, cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in organic flooring compounds are mutagenic. and carson a genic, they can either directly cause cancer or increase the likelihood of cancer. they can destroy genetic material which leads to congenital diseases. oh ok. so the total the money use try to use that. if nothing is done,

the contaminated water will seep into the ground water and then into the vist your pullman's most important river life. just a few kilometers from the city of good gosh, right next to the former plant side. i'm all of those days. so this that goes, but of it is upon us and we still farm, you know, one who uses that under our feet. there are huge quantities of chemical substances, oregon, you know, no comic endodontic and they all talk sick. so what i could even close come so it's kind of a also dangerous because they can move as a long distance to the side of the do girls like washing beneath the surface safety . these talk stop sentences of traveling several to how much the to oh my directly to the vision of that i need to is like you this what? or is that, what's the, what's by the use both of those things. the only solution to address this would be to put a 6 are complicates over a different concept. so it was still up to the, it was, we propose the 7 years ago, but like disney should then we'll have to demo

a, cover everything with the layer of the concrete, what i'm down to an impermeable later in the bedrock. and some of the most of the people that didn't secure the whole thing finally from above so that nothing can penetrate is still up to the go to the doctor. only give us thing if it was settled . there are water sampling points at various places. on the former industrial side, the scientist can take samples of ground water from a depth of 14 meters. the water is black and foul smelling. the back of all the this water would burn all the plan on the web. it's just the other thing that brought a bottle of coca cola for comparison. that's

so stupid. i meant to physical heaviest, expedited shape. i'm usually smack this is a co chemical parameter that we've measure today indicate that the concentration of thought into contamination. dis rosa is 3 times higher than the default. so you can see the color, the color i'm smell indicates that it's um, safe, safe or there's no oxygen at net position or other organisms couldn't survive it. i couldn't but yes, so stand you from feeling that was stuck english. they should have every school, most of the most or just look you've watched the effects he's allowed to give you a case should you contact with this monitor can cause an allergic reaction or a skin rash, and sometimes it can irritate the skin. if you rub your eye is, or it gets to the mucus membranes, it would not be healthy, is that the water damage is the skin soft tissue for the eyes of long and go over those over right next to the water sampling point. an older man is collecting mushrooms, doesn't it bother him that they are growing uncontaminated land? no, you have in your mouth. well, there aren't any warning signs. if they were

a sign that red thing just mind. no one will go to the sign your apology. yeah i am. so my items, my wife eats them my children to move keith this idyllic pond can be found and were not of was ex hometown, not far from the vist dealer river, but a few inches are deceptive water from the site of the former, the hymn chemical and arguments factory has found its way to this place. i'm so they're all good. you got the key terminates of ground voters flowing into this pullman's to suggest that it's a rate in a class a i'm the visitor that is right nearby. the contaminated rules are penetrates and the stuff is in this area, how much is it?

who is the 4 of your skills or the of your skills, right? so the level of this it gives us the thought is that all of these are there are 2 possibilities exhibiting 1st. the decay organic substances in the water which leads to oxygen deficiency in the fish suffocating buildings or a chemical contamination leads to the death of the whole system. the ecosystem of much of $72.00 is the system of systems. the poland most crucial waterway is largely unregulated. so far, the vist yellow river has been spared sockets, toxic legacy. what for how much longer? the dog is a tributary of the fistula, and flows through a nearby did ghost. poland, 8 largest city is home to about 350000 residents. the fact that an environmental catastrophe is looming, nearby seems to be of little concern here. the

shape gosh quarter on overseas, the environmental agency in big gosh. he's well aware of the danger, but doesn't consider it an urgent matter. he believes that contaminated water will take a few years to reach the 51 that was on the news us. in the cri, you all have a pomeranian province was working and x, but groups were phones though they consider it's an important topic. now, let's just keep the good. i mean, i agree to mazda plan is needed as acronyms form assigned to the end. but suppose on the 1st on this was most likely, most stuff in this mazda plan, or any general plan of action or the complex investigations, and needed the plumb joe on my machine. and those haven't been kyra down yet.

students? yes, to musical. no, no, he said his agency has no knowledge of cancer cases among residents of wing normal, which is directly adjacent to them. they'll be small. it's another zip codes, middleton i go to. we've conducted a health risk analysis for the residents. so way, novo said lowering and there's no increased risk dash. so in the area we start is put this on this. of course, here's the city does not have enough money to conduct a more complex survey of the residents. that the villain uses a buzz that'll basically to would prove or disprove on this, the cynthia diesel is up such as the king size all. however, the city's health risk analysis states. 90 percent of the residents studied have abnormal blood cell counts. more than half reported cancer cases in their families . traces of previous chemical production are everywhere on the former ground,

some stuff. and this extensive area is freely accessible. funeral, a dangerous chemical and irritant, was produced in this building. as a result of its toxicity, this part of the factory was already closed out in 1989. the rinaldo valasics battle often feels futile. the cause of them shit, balls. yeah. as you can. so just let me know,

they do everything they can to make my life more difficult. i keep hearing made up stories about being a former director who'd been fired from the environmental agency, forbade me from speaking out about the whole issue. well, the 20 took off the top of a job as a customer very well when i asked her why. and she said that something could happen . jace your case, you put that on google more for me. as i spoke, the how much longer can the activist take it the, the new literally as a project applause doesn't put supper on the table. for my child, though, it won't get me a pension in the future. i'm unemployed mom, and i know that soon i could become homeless full. so i believe in what i'm doing. but what do i get out of people congratulating me and putting me on the back? you know, i need real support. usually you're going to, if i don't get it, i'll give up that was a moment. you may not have wise x hometown of wing nozzle

plots of land or up for sale. feeling a decline in market value. many here one to avoid bad publicity about the neighboring factory side. the a few weeks ago, she found 2 of her kittens dead in the garden. the 1st family history is closely linked to this often chemical and arguments plan. her father worked there and she grew up very close to the factory. she felt the effects of that at an early age.

you're all digits, go hold on both zone on updates. so that kind of moved as a child. i was often l with long infection, stobel stapo in childhood, in elementary school. i got sick a lot and you're poor the the jump. the goal was just to me, i need to go by the age of 10. i'd had pneumonia several times on a permanent respiratory problem. nicole gets committed to call your parents to me. um, to the truck i had ulcers and boyles to show you, would you be in a room today? i know that this was probably caused by contact with chemical simple still just it . i we oh, i am now 45 years old and have the body and illnesses of a pensioners you have to send you old or not of why that relishes the rare occasions she gets to go to this cafe with her daughter. today they have something to celebrate. the 14 year old one,

a gold medal polish use championships to the camp and to them i would be a bad mother if i didn't fight for a clean environment for my child. talk a uses however, it is not easy, right? let's do the summit that every day i see how people around me are rived or discouraged so that they stop actively fighting for a clean environment to copays. okay. in other words, the fighting for the health and life. a lot of other people have so much emotion to your home so that he's got to be picking up this little bit. but i have nothing that can be taken away from me. you want me to go back except for my life medium and the life of my daughter goes on moines, the gym usage and way would it's gonna be the
