don't go is it just a matter of time before it's able to completely understand how we see it? tomorrow to 60 minutes on dw d double use crime fighters are back africans, most successful radio drama, serious continues. all episodes are available online. course you can share and discuss on dw africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. crime fighters to name, now, the re not to have a logic is waging a battle against authorities who do nothing in the face of an imminent environmental catastrophe. here at the side of a former chemical and arguments factory toxic waters threatens to flow into poland

to be still a river and destroyed the ecosystem for the activist. it's a grueling fight what the cost is supposed to come in. 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, you know, she would crush 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, let each of them who were able to change every thing because of our people too much as me know. the

a ranada of logic is that the side of the former is doc and chemical plants. because during the 2nd world war, germany produced explosives and gunpowder 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 images is also, this is one of many areas on this side of the former plant. nearby was the paint department. today the social welfare office is just about 300 to 400 meters from here. hold them. 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 looked up and 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 rome, its 70 kilometers of the train tracks. even its own train station, the, 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 fuel. for 6 years now, she's been fighting to get this toxic waste land decontaminated. she writes letters to politicians, dress petitions, miles, complaints with the police and spreads the word on facebook. so far in vain. no one in a story 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

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, was wondering if a good movie on the interest because off the fruit sees the 9 meg preserves a small amount just like my mother used to use 90 percent of the preserving jars in

the basement or from her mom's that was to hold, 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 absorption 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 to dilapidated production buildings. new businesses have settled here, the

june, the gushing us of, i'm the not the of was you were not you of was like this meeting with former plant workers and you want museums that they do not want to give their names out of fear of repercussions. me village, you work at some of them for a long or 30 years total at the plans and the teams at zach them directly. hey, me. principal bonds. nice. mm hm. i think you are 40 years old. is she lot not of was it wants to know about working conditions of the plan. how safe was it the weather ever, any accidents on the job. one of these men also worked with

a dangerous chemical called on a lien at the plant. it impacted his health. never been one time i had to replace the gasket in one of the buildings and inhaled some on the line off to it, someone looked at me and said, go to the doctor immediately. my lips and in the said already 10 blue. i was admitted to the hospital in state for 8 days, and i wasn't allowed to leave the bad ones when i went to the toilet and scolded me my you are and was black and of dismissal. also is, are you still in contact with your colleagues from the online department today? i don't know why some of these, these people aren't in this well usually died probably most states are looking for that's what i mean. yeah. why. but there's room and i'm lucky to have work there so long. google. mm. that goes under a lot of toxic chemicals. get into the soil in virginia for by that the soil and

others from much you need to know it does are 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 tell that i know shaq and i should get the to know how polluted the plant site is and they say that the soil should be replaced and the side decontaminated. so why is nothing being done up here? there's no money for this because in reality, no one's interested. sweep it under the rug, don't talk about it, and 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 semesters, if it were really poison, nothing would grow the perception that case or feature but not the

case. 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, so people need to get involved and we shouldn't give up a to she has on. gosh, i'm like, i don't know, probably it's about what to say 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, she and her family are living with the effects of the pollution. here does not to prevent is the way to go back that we suffer from cancer. and while you got that the close to your brother died of lung cancer, found you,

my father and phone and broke cancer. got it all is because uh, some of our neighbors also have kids. he either to water cancer and breast cancer. and does that, does it have some use at this point of view i was recently diagnosed with aside right to march mom? not as you know, the smoke or not any living with people small at the moment. but no one knows how it will develop. it's what the problem was, but i've number of i present at the same vision. you've had the multiple testing. i have a daughter with a disability. she has genetic damage and yes, no one knows why there's most of the successful dish that have of switching you. well, i also had a miscarriage, some bullet well this, me bit and you are, we often have headaches and burden. i'm just, i'm a travel photo stop. i'm a little simpler, but as soon as we return, we get headaches. again, i should be there. i start to burn the rushes like you some these are the some of the on the

is was, is just because, i mean i found the positive ownership. it's effects of, you know, she, it's all just swept under the rock with jim. everything is done to prevent this massive problem from coming to life talk is that they're trying to keep it a secret and ensure people don't talk about it too much. i'm gonna look back after school just use the going from. it's the to say, think this is inquiry, i'm going to love this my both hyper saw. so that's the g o. scientists body shop and don't talk the from the h e h university of science and technology and crack of our friends of or not to of

why the money is chuck has been researching environmental pollution, caused by chemical substances for more than a decade. they would just use one of those published several scientific studies grove, auto talked to carrie, it's from bid, gosh. she wrote her dissertation on this topic that the scientists had been appealing to politicians for years. really. we've made it clear that the site must be secured, but nothing's happened. for years eve of pollutants are slipping into the ground. it's sad that so much time passes between damage assessments and dispose of the whole thing. and so by the sup, with all the scientists, investigations showing urgent need for action is also spun 6 to the is, and this just seems, you know, be the ceiling. all of these substances, especially pablo,

cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. again, according 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, okay. so the total, the money use chop fears that if nothing is done, the contaminated water will seep into the ground water. and then into the vist, your palding's most important river lies just a few kilometers from the city of good gosh, right next to the former plant side a i'm all of those days of this that goes, but of it is upon us and you still farm you know one who uses that, that under our feet there are huge quantities of chemical substances, oregon, you know, new comic endodontic focused and they all talk sick. so what i could even close come. so you said that they also dangerous because they can move as long distance. the other question beneath the surface safety, these toxic substances,

the traveling several kilometers on that too. oh my directly to the vista that i need to is like, is this what is that? what's the, what's the bottle of 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, i'll cover everything with the layer of the concrete, what i'm down to an impermeable later in the bedrock suddenlink up was, was out for the people that didn't secure the whole thing finally from above so that nothing can penetrate. it's still all to 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 scientists 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. you ibex escape. i see that brought a bottle of coca cola for comparison. that's what i meant to physical heaviest, expedited shape. i'm using this man. this is a cool kind of cool parameters that we've measure today indicate that the concentration of thought into contamination. this voltage is 3 times higher than that. the voltage, colorado, the color i'm smell, indicates that it's some safe stable. there's no oxygen in it. mm. physician or other organisms couldn't survive. i couldn't but and yes, i will stand you from here and i was stuck in by. so you should have these cool most of the, most of your stuff you've watched and is that he's allowed to give it up to you 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 eyes so 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, you 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 on contaminated land? now you have in your mouth, well there aren't any warning signs. if they were assigned that red thing just mind, no one will go to the sign your apology. amazon my item, my wife eats the my children to move key of the this idyllic pond can be found and were not of was ex hometown not far from the vist dealer river, but a few inches or deceptive water from the site of the former chemical and arguments factory has found its way to this place. some.

so they're all good. you've got the key terminates of ground water flowing into this permanent tooth exit. that it's a rating of slots a i'm the vist sheila is right nearby. the contaminated, russo penetrates into the stuff is in this area. how much is it? where is the scales on the ocean? you know, right? so the level of this, it gives us a thought is that all of these, there are 2 possibilities. ends up in that 1st the decay of organic substances and the water which leads to oxygen deficiency and the fish suffocating things for a chemical contamination leads to the death of the whole system, the ecosystem of much of $72.00 and the whole system of systems. the poland, most crucial waterway, is largely unregulated. so far. the vista little river has been spared stockens toxic legacy. but for how much longer

the dog is a tributary of the fistula, and flows through nearby did ghost. poland is 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 that he believes that contaminated water will take a few years to reach the vista. one that was suppose on the, is us in the cause of a pomeranian province was working and ex,

but groups were phones though they consider it's an important topic. now, the website is key through good. i mean, i agree to mazda plan is needed as acronyms form assigned to you in, but suppose on the suppose on this. so suppose i must of today's mazda plan, or any in general plan of action of the complex investigations and needed the plumb joe on my machine. and those haven't been carried down yet. students? yes, to musical. no, no. he said his agency has no knowledge of cancer cases among residents of wing, all of them, which is directly adjacent to them. they'll be smells and those are comfortable and i go to, we've conducted a health risk analysis for the residents. so way, no val fedloan and there's no increased risk that the in the area we started is put this on. this of course, is the city does not have enough money to conduct a more complex survey of the residents of the village uses a buzz that'll basically to would prove or disprove onto this. these activities

will, is upsets or so it's a king size. all. however, the cities 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 grants of stuff . and this extensive area is freely accessible. the 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 boys ics battle often feels futile. the

cause of them shit balls. yeah, there's a to so you know, now 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 was a 20, took off the top of a job as a customer. when i asked her why, she said that something could happen, jace your case, you put that on google more for me as we spoke the . how much longer can the activist take it the, the new literally is just a task. doesn't put supper on the table for my child,

though it won't get me a pension in the future. i'm unemployed home 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? we need real support. if i don't get it, i'll give up is i know you may not have wise x hometown of windows or 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 awesome chemical and arguments plants . 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 the food. so it's a kind of a, that's a child. i was often l with long infection, stobel stapo in childhood and elementary school. i got sick a lot in your policy. i have to do something good to me. i need to go by the age of 10. i'd had pneumonia several times on a permanent respiratory problem. nicole difficult typically attends to me. um, field trip. i had ulcers and boyles to show you. would you be a good today? i know that this was probably caused by contact with chemical simple still just it

. i mean, i am now 45 years old and have the body and illnesses of a pensioners you have to send you all. renata was a relishes the rare occasions she gets to go to this cafe with their daughter. today they have something to celebrate. the 14 year old one a gold medal, the polish youth championships to the capital of them, i would be a bad mother if i didn't fight for a clean environment for my child a uses. however, it is not easy, right? i like to get some of that every day. i see how people around me are bribed or discouraged so that they stop actively fighting for a clean environment to copays new. okay. in other words, look fighting for the health and life. a lot of other people have so much emotion to your home and so that he's got to be picking up as the easy. but i have nothing

that can be taken away from me. you want me to go back except for my life me and the life of my daughter was on moines, which is a good way. what is the result of was it for sacrifice? a great deal to fight the talk sense on our doorstep. but even she doesn't know if it will be worth it in the, in the,

the, the can computers read minds all over the world. scientists are studying communications between the mines and computers. artificial intelligence began decoding or thoughts long ago. is it just
