and also as the world, the policy here, they have always been people who were pioneers, let each of them who were able to change every thing because of our people them pushes me know the notion of was it, is that the side of the former, as doctor and chemical plant, if it goes during the 2nd world war, germany produced explosives and 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 seep unimpeded into the soil, contaminating the ground water. the

reason the this is one of many areas on the side 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. my mothers with their children and many other residents go there. for you may not be 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, let's open 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 with 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 can teams, 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 files complaints with the police, and spreads the word on facebook so far in vain.

no one in us already has shown serious concern. on the contrary, renada of logics 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 as a trained gerontology 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 troublemaker 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 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 of session occupied 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. a dilapidated production building. new businesses have settled here, the june, the yeah, sure. most of them, the not the of was you were not you of logic is 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. i saw them for

a long or 30 years total at the plans on the team at zach them directly. okay. me press a bunch. 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 upset already turned blue. i was admitted to the hospital and state for 8 days. i wasn't allowed to leave the bad ones when i went to the toilet and scolded me,

my urine was black connect dismissal. also as are you still in contact with your colleagues from the unaligned department today? no humans. we conclude that although twice these, these people aren't in this well, usually died. the probably most days are looking for us with, i mean why. but there's something i'm lucky to have work best so long. new told me that goes on just a lot of toxic chemicals. get into the sort of thing. there's any other for by that the soil and a tro much you need to know it does or 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. so 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? i didn't give up unions. 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 because there's a lot of green array implants. everything's beautiful. and what conclusions are drawn from that semester as if it were really poison? nothing would grow the perception that case or feature that i can. but that's 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 to people need to get involved and we shouldn't give up to says on, gosh, oh my god, i don't know. probably it's about what perfect 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. that's not the problem is the way to go, but after we suffer from cancer, while you looked at the cost to your brother, died of lung cancer. i found you. my father is bone and throat cancer. i've got it all is because uh some of our neighbors also have kids see it to water cancer and breast cancer. oh, it does not do that as i'm usually the display of you. i was recently diagnosed with aside right to march mom. not as you know, we have smuggled, not any living with people small at the moment, but no one knows how it will develop. it's will come here from us, but i've known i've, i've been at the same beginning of the scene. i have a daughter with a disability. she has genetic damage and yes and windows,

why there's most of the successful fish, the 15 you well i also had a miscarriage. just one bullet glove this. me a bit and you all, we often have had a burning eyes just on the travel photo stop them. but as soon as we return, we get headaches. again, i should be there, i start to birth. it's actually like you some, these are the, some of the of the is because it's just because i may have the advantage of its 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 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, thank you. i think we're going to love this. my both are per song. so that's the g o scientist, money shop, and don't talk to somebody from the h e h university of science and technology and crack of our friends of are not to of why the money use chuck has been researching environmental pollution, caused by chemical substances for more than a decade, they would just use one that was published several scientific studies grove, auto talked to yadi is from bid. gosh. she brought her dissertation on this topic that the scientists had been appealing to politicians for years. now he made it clear that the site must be secured, but nothing's happened. for years,

both of those pollutants are sleeping into the ground. to this, it's sad that so much time passes between damage assessments and dispos a whole thing. and so by the soap with the scientists, investigations showing urgent need for action low doses because on some stand, 6 to the is and there's just things you're looking to see on all of these substances. especially paula, cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in organic flooring compounds are mutagenic in 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, i guess so, but wasn't much for the money use try to use that. if nothing is done, the contaminated water will see pin to the ground water. and then into the vist your pullman's. most important river lies just

a few kilometers from the city of good gosh, right next to the former plant side. the i'm all of those days of this that goes, but of it is a for the last time you still farm, you know, one who uses that, that under our feet there are huge quantities of chemical substances, oregon. you know, no panic endodontic focused and they all talk sick. so what i could even close come so it's on the video so dangerous because they can move as long distance. the other question beneath the surface safety, these toxic substances of traveling several phenomena directly to the, to the good i need to is i q this. what is that? what's the, what's the bottom of the book with us? 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 point of on the it was, we propose the 7 years ago practice and it should then we'll have to demo. i'll cover everything with the layer of the concrete, what i'm down to an impermeable layer in the bedrock. and suddenly coupled was out for the people that didn't secure the whole thing kindly from above so that nothing

can penetrate is still up to the go to the doctor. always give us thing similar. so there are water sampling points at various places on the former industrial site of 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 plant on the web. it's just you ever seen that brought a bottle of coca cola for comparison? that's. that's it. but 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 instead of contaminating this bosa 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 and it's position. 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 and is that 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 law 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 on contaminated land? now you have in your mouth, well, there aren't any warning signs. if they were assigned that red thing, just mines, no one would go to the sign your apology.

amazon my items, my wife eats them my children to move keith this idyllic pond can be found and were not to have was ex hometown not far from the vist dealer river, but a few inches are deceptive. the water from the side of the former is often chemical and arguments. factory has found its way to this place some. so they're all good. you've got the key terminates as ground water flowing into this pullman to suggest that it's a rating of slots. i'm visiting this right nearby the contaminated rules to penetrate some of the stuff is in this area, how much is it? who is the scales on the ocean? you know, right? so the level of this, it gives us a thought, is that all of these are, there are 2 possibilities of and at 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 a whole. this deal, the ecosystem of much of $72.00 is the whole system of poland. most crucial waterway is largely unregulated. so far, the vist jeweler river has been spared stockens toxic legacy, but for how much longer. the 3rd 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 motor on overseas the environmental agency, and because 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. and they will suppose on the is us in the cause of a pomeranian province working and x. but groups with combs, though they consider it's an important topic. now the website is good. i mean, i agree to mazda plan is needed. most acronyms form assigned to you in, but suppose on the suppose on this. so suppose i must go for this mazda plan, or any general plan of action of the complex investigations and needed the plumb joe on my machine. and those haven't been carried out 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 smelt and those are comfortable and i go to leave conducted a health risk analysis for the residents. so way, no valve and loading 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 them all. complex survey of the residential pavilion uses a buzz that'll basically to would prove or disprove this. the cynthia, diesel is upsets, are stuck into zone. 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 grants and 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 who the valasics battle often feels futile. the cause of them shit balls. yeah, there's a chance for getting there. now they do everything they can to make my life more difficult on putting 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 because of the one he took off the top of a job as a customer, when i asked her why, she said that something could happen, jace, your guess you put them got to go home over me as we spoke the how much longer can be activist, take it the you have to you literally as a class doesn't put supper on the table for my child, though it won't get me a pension in the future. i'm unemployed 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 need real support. usually you're going to if i don't get it, just i'll give up is i know i may not have logics. hometown of windows though. lots of land are up for sale. feeling

a decline in market value. many hear one to avoid bad publicity about the neighboring factory site. 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 and your poor the, the jump, the goals are to me. i need to go by the age of 10. i'd had pneumonia several times on a permanent respiratory problem. nicole gets go politically up, turns to me on field trip. i had ulcers and boyles to show you. would you be in the woods today? i know that this was probably caused by contact with chemical simple still just it . i, we old i am now 45 years old and have the body and illnesses of a pensioners you can send you. old. renata was like, 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 they are rived or discouraged so that they stop actively fighting for a clean environment. shackleton's new. okay. in other words, look 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 as the age of. 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 to my what is the result of was her sacrifice a great deal to fight the talk sense on her doorstep. but even she doesn't know if it will be worth it in the, in the,

the can computers read minds all over the world. scientists are study and communication between the mines and computers. artificial intelligence began decoding or thoughts long ago.

is it just a matter of time before it's able to completely understand how we see tomorrow, dw, the what our sports meaning when we say they're about never giving up the most exciting sport stories about people, passions and their dr. board flies every weekend on dw the, the,

it is some of the coverage, the more people than in such a professional life. but a crisis within pod for somebody that sort of the nation press the find out adult baby story, info, migraines, reliable news for migrant. wherever they may be, the artificial intelligence seems capable of anything. it can write academic papers or to pick the pope wearing a very on pope like down jackets or even compose music. the possibilities of age are simply endless. and that leaves us certain questions. welcome to dw science
