as far as he's got any issues with lots of who the hear this often when i was a kid, things were different. well, now that the users say less, unless things are different, why people in canada is up to region and literally losing the ground beneath se, se the se steps we find out west. finland is planning to bury its nuclear waste. the and toxic dust and you dissolve is blowing from the ruins of tuck. he's recent tests,

quake the i was celebrated miracle material, asbestos. his study able to withstand heats, and corrosion cheap and easy to use. it was widely used in the construction of homes, ships and industrial sites, but still is also costs and a gen move in to 150000 people worldwide die every year following contact with ext. an despite being banned in many countries, especially still found everywhere was fatal consequences. a huge cloud of dust, blankets, the city of heads, high and southern techie. much of the city was devastated by an of craig in february, now and meet the rubble. another danger is emerging, asbestos are ex leases investigation reveals the extent of the best dose

contamination and has. hi dw reports has from the turkish and environment departments invited an expert team from the countries chamber of environmental engineers to the region. here they collected 45 death samples at different locations. the results point with this off to that could affect millions of people who the, anyone who's been in how tie is at risk of being exposed to asbestos. due to discussion talk, you shall store a t say the amount of asbestos in the region is below dangerous levels. but according to the world health organization, a single aspect of the bible when inhaled, can lead to lung cancer. techie and around 70 other countries has banned the sale of asbestos products, but its legacy is still around us because existing asbestos materials used in buildings and elsewhere before the bands are like it taking boom. in the aftermath

of the us quake mold and 100000 buildings collapsed. many contained as best of materials and now that parts of the dust crew fare at is an expert from tech. he's chamber of environmental engineers. he'll be helping the dw reports is on the ground to collect dust samples from high tie. the 1st one will be a control sample from the cruise call. the idea is to see if cause in the us click region connect and transport task contaminated with us. best us the crew wash the cost before taking a sample. johnny stats and get the entech 200 kilometers away from heads. i was the local apple was damaged in the us quake. 7 months after the disaster, the city still resembles a war zone. the people of high tide try that best to live in normal life, but they're worried about but cost nothing didn't come directly behind us as

a rebel side said hills our lungs while we're training our lungs have begun to swell. it's having a bad effect on our physical and mental health. what are the people here are living very close to russell. we took dust samples from the top of the tents where they live. it'd be one of the control because of that. and then we also enter the area where demolition waste is stored in there we took various samples for asbestos and that was that. so you can see some of that over just like the residents. the workers didn't use any protection from the dust. asbestos controls mesothelioma long and plural cancer, a decades exposure as a constant task and also need to acute to illnesses of the 50. the and my brother got sick from the death of them. that is something. 2 she and we

took him to the hospital now and they gave him blood g. i'm almost done. i'm much ice cream to tend to uh, yeah, and enough is making us, it shows it well. the ones you could afford to leave the city have left but many have nowhere else to go. according to public health experts, thousands of children in the region on our at risk of developing sorrel or lung cancer as adults 50 columbus is away on the coast of high tide. we talked to another low co with acute symptoms. the whole family has or that my wife has at the worst of it of the rebel right next to his shop contains all sorts of waste from electronic goods to toxic heavy metals, as well as bibles cement and insulation,

materials known to contain asbestos. almost no one came to examine us or to offer counseling, even though we live in the center of the city. we're not in villages or in the mountains. he's not the only one living next to piles of rubble across the region. demolition work is underway in the streets activity icon a lawyer from the head, so i lawyers association has been campaigning since the us quick happened to say for management of revel waste that protects public health. the 2 felt ill from the task setup slomo come on over. there is a come now used for agricultural irrigation to lisa. there's a high school and police headquarters nearby young for general. then there's another school content and a container city is about 50 meters away from here. yeah, the so yes, i'm

a breeding area for longer head turtle. it is close by the trucks. you of the so is the b j trend. also a bird sanctuary, which in the stronger what are some of the question using this place as a rubble dumping area is high, ran a lot of colonial central. yep. the crew take samples from the dump site and also from the leaves of the vegetation, nearby olives, and possibly i've grown here. and once it's been harvested, local produce is transpose it full of attacking the 3 will. this is only, they never covered trucks that carry rubble with turbulence. even that would have helped to prevent dangerous and hazardous substances like as best. so what is it from contaminating surrounding us or not? and how to protect public health full, jackson hemmed up the local say that the government has prioritized reconstruction efforts of the public health of to 2 days of reporting on the

ground with back and get the end tip. the team takes another dust sample from the top of the car. the next day, the bar tree results show that calls can carry as best of the task hundreds of kilometers. the detailed lab reports prove the residential areas, soil leaves and fruits in many neighborhoods, all contaminated with asbestos. using it on the lab results were received or alarming, and we detected as best those in 16 out of 45 samples. the statements made by the authorities and how to i and the ministry of environment don't reflect the realities on the ground to get to you also to the public health expert as can gen cuz i also examined the report the key in the, on the notes in the coming years we may see tens of thousands of very young people die of mesothelioma related conditions will be really good. this is in order to

determine how many people are affected in the region. 460, we need objective health monitoring studies. official statements claiming that people are not affected to for just covering up the problem the focused on you now . he says it's spiteful the feel far as he's act fast ordering the board and then the bush then there's measures need to be taken today. bloomfield, i think that would help, could you send it to that towards the dust and smoke need to be closely monitored and eliminated tools to then come to the get it so you can go to get it. you're welcome, look, a must get autumn with masks. should be distributed to people and workers in the region and look almost and they should be encouraged to use them speaking to them and walk a or let me see movies it will, all the areas that are most affected by dust should be identified and the residents relocated for around the world. the especially those removal process is costly and

slow. the current situation in turkey shows that in regions at risk of the us quakes, it's a matter of urgency because otherwise, when disaster strikes, the consequences the deputy, the so we've arrived the minus 437 meters on the ground. we're inside the only final storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the world. there's gonna be basically an all day in europe within the next hundreds of thousands of years. this tunnel is deep on the ground is supposed to be the game changer for nuclear waste. there a quarter of a 1000000 tons of nuclear waste, just lying around across the globe. in some cases, leasing, talk sense into the environment. and nobody really knows exactly what to do with it yet, except for the fence. so how did they do it?

and does this mean we've sold the nuclear waste problem once and for when i 1st heard the defense, we're building a nuclear waste deposit site. i thought it was going to be in the middle of nowhere like in the optic circle. so no, it's actually just a 3 hour call right away from housing in a municipality of almost 10000 people cold air. which also happens to be home to europe's largest nuclear reactive municipality actually been to the site and was selected from full possible locations. construction started in 2004. right next to the post on the cell is quite straightforward, doesn't that. but it's actually really remarkable that this happens because the final disposal facility is a spent nuclear fuel has to keep highly radioactive waste from leaking into the environment. for a couple of 100000 years. to put that into perspective, a couple of ice ages will have come and gone in that time. that needs decades of

discussions, planning and careful selection of sites and the feet of engineering. of the countries with nuclear power plants have also been looking for their own permanent storage sites. but nobody has even started construction anywhere else without your pro or anti nuclear energy. this problem needs a solution fast because the waste is piling up and sometimes an adequate interim storage sides worldwide. but not in finland. also decades of research and construction, the site called and carlo case, whole and finish is about to start operating in the next few years. the project is financed by the finish nuclear power companies, which are probably owned by the finish date. we're ready to go. the trip down takes almost a quarter of an hour. so we've arrived at minus

437 meters on the ground. yeah, definitely feels like a cave all around us is christa line bedrock, a mixture of granite and the rocks cold making a tight. and that's the 1st key to why this place was chosen to store the nuclear waste the age of the wrong guess. almost 2000000000 years. it's a rather on fractured rather dry. you know, we don't have a lot of front water moments in here. i'm to your son is the head geologist at the company responsible for the facility. the whole struggle needs to be on worth a in a sense that there is no economic all fee is that, that future generations or likes to beat out from their own. but finding the right the rock is just the 1st step because nuclear waste is unlike any other waste. they

have 3 main types, low level intermediates and high level waste. low level waste is usually stuff that came into contact with radioactive material, like protective equipment filters or medical waste. intermediate waste is equipment used in nuclear plants or weapons production like pipes, so insulating material. this can stay radioactive for a couple of 100. yes. they are contaminated and disposed of and low level waste sites on the oval ground up to 99 percent of all nuclear waste falls into that category. the one percent of high level radioactive waste is the most problematic one that consists mostly of spent nuclear fuel rods, but it also includes waste from nuclear weapons production. spend prod, still contain lots of energy enough to him. it heat and remain radioactive up to a 1000000 years, and that waste is sitting and cooling pools, or in dry caustics around the world. a total of over a quarter of

a 1000000 metric tons says the international atomic energy agency. that's as heavy as 26 eiffel towers. and some of it is leaking radioactive materials. the best solution for handling and safely is burying is deep on the ground and leaving it to the k for a couple of 100000 years until it isn't dangerous anymore. to prevent the radioactivity from the rods from leaking in the meantime, it needs to be encased properly in finland, the spent fuel rods are sealed into 5 sent to meet the 2nd and around 5 meet the high corporate canisters. they have been transported on the ground with a hoist, pulls of drilled into the bedrock along very long tunnels. the canisters are then put into the holes as in this demo drilling. wow, that. so did you hear my echo? then the whole is filled up with bentonite play, which is also used as calculator. i can absorb ground water that might sleep in and

corrode to the corporate kind of stuff. and finally, the tunnel is back filled with the same material and sealed with a 6 me to sick concrete slab. as you can see here in this demonstration tunnel, those capsules or canisters are the most controversial part of the whole nuclear waste repository. the problem is what happens if the band tonight, lia, has defects or is damaged and ground water containing sulfide and hydrogen? does it reach the canister? research as have shown in multiple studies that copper could corrode, and the canisters could fail much faster. and the company in charge has calculated possibly already in a time span of decades. research on this is ongoing and the topic is a highly debated in the scientific community. but the stones of the finished nuclear safety are sorry, t and pas eva, is that the uncertainty isn't so high that they would pose

a significant risk. and they stress that the canister is just one protective layer of many condo is meant to house all the future ways the finland's existing nuclear power plants. nor is it clear how future generations will be able to tell that radioactive waste is located here. or if it should be kept unlocked, but that's a question for another video. but even so, finland is way ahead of most nations. maybe because of a unique mentality. one, a role in there might be with bab, correct. my big mindset of been finished. people there as being a kind of a mutual consensus that we need to take care of the ways not to leave them to the future. generations. there has been very little pulsation from the society. the

summer toys you 23 was the hotel since records began. it was also a summer of fire. a divorce, half vast areas of land worldwide were destroyed by wild fires and floods. meanwhile, in the canadian town of 2 k, at 2 o'clock on the edge of the out, take, a stealthy catastrophe is unfolding those looking to travel to the end of the world face a bumpy road. it's a 170 lonely kilometers along the dempster highway to reach took to ya. this is where the arctic ocean begins. it's steven and pokey ok. first big project. she can hardly believe that she landed the spot on dust as wayland team. she's the only one in the canadian british group without an academic background. and the on the in the

community is concerned about the air, does ground stability rows in waterways. so we're always here to collect that data with the help of the researchers and the scientists everyone into as the villages refer to locally knows dustin wayne, the canadian permafrost research or has been coming here for almost 20 years. unlock his colleagues and fly in and out to collect data. he recognized early on the importance of getting into business. people like diva lynn on board, the people that, that lived in the community like the villains, dad. and you know that the knowledge that they have about the land is far, far above any. the knowledge that i have learnt in my academic textbooks about processes or climate change or coastal erosion. a training session out on the arctic ocean temperatures stable. the scientists, they're teaching diva learned how to collect data in a way that's useful for research. yeah. both sides them to gain the community has

opportunities and there's also other opportunities for western scientists to want to learn and who are open both their culture and stuff. so it's really good. well, that a good team going dustin wayland takes us to, to kind of it's, it's just off shore and serve to protect the harbor from storms. and that's vital is boats leave from here to bring supplies to all the remote regions round about. but the island is shrinking by 2 meters every year. this summer, the erosion was even worse than usual. dusted warrens as to be careful and to jump from one patch of grass to the next areas of deep mud live between them. the shores melting as thick layers of ice are exposed to the sun. right here, this, you know, this, this area here with the premier, for us, has thought it exposes, exposes this mass of ice. and you can actually see the pure ice underneath. and as

soon as that is exposed to the air, it, it just melts. but there's lots of parts of climate change we're not seeing. and 11 big one is the release of greenhouse gases, or methinks, in into the atmosphere. so, falling permafrost can, can be released, the decatur organic matter. maybe not to the arctic region as heating up faster than the rest of the planet. and the consequences are readily apparent. this little island that's one kilometer long, is steadily shrinking. this is eroded back one and if it meters, not since june end of june, beginning of july we hear this often when i was a kid things were different. well now that the youth are saying last summer things were different. or, you know, last summer i could walk right across this bag and now it's, it's totally gone and we see this huge stuff failure here. temperatures of almost

30 degrees celsius in the arctic are no longer unheard of. locals can't remember a summer that was as hot and long as this year. residents, including many anyways, families that have lived here for generations are asking how long this can continue . no other company already lost one significant battle with climate change out of the waves crashed against her house for so long that it was no longer safe for her to live in it. the entrance was just a little further off to the side where you are there. and now this is where my house was. during the last year, i was just worried that my windows were getting get smash because of the debris that's being smashed up against the ground. and splashing up to my house, settled, it'll, and the bird can't. her cousin tried to reinforce the bank next to his property, but already his barn is no longer safe. took to you, i took,

was recently granted millions by the government to preserve the coastline. but all such solutions are only short term companies. neighbors are living on borrowed time . eventually they're going to have to be moved in, in line to it's hard to hard to fathom how and how many people are gonna see this place because of climate change. james martin and craig warren are also part of dustin white lens team and they spend hours strolling around to with their ground penetrating radar. it's part of their efforts to help the anyway, it's better adjust to climate change. their radar measures the thickness of the permafrost, underneath the roads to dope, so that this would save the community in the long term. but there is a lot of talk about moving the community to a new site. and what we're learning about how infrastructure effects the depths,

dependent for us, could mean that construction of new facilities as a new site would be more robust grey data. the team gap is around the kitchen table for a meeting. this was coming up diva lind. polk yard has been part of the research team for a long time. now. yeah, she even presents her work in international conferences from in winter when the researchers are back at their university's. she monitors the various measuring stations and collect samples here. it's good and i want it pushes me to want to further further my education so that these could continue on and then i could like possibly. so the community that you can do these things here when you get to know, you know, who you working with as humans you, you understand what they need to go if it, what we need to get out for it. you know the outcomes to the community about comes

to the science. now before saying good bye, dustin way, lynn takes us to see a peninsula that's a special interest to researchers. huge walls of ice shine in the evening sun up to 40 meters of disappear every year. wayland team is using time less videos to document erosion. this one, the layer of massive ice down here. so k, i is a bit of mess advice. retracing back up to feel that we're doing something positive to, to, to gather data, to what with the locals here. and then from then i think and co produced solutions is, is everything to us. and for me as an academic, and as a scientist, that's really what we strive for the impact of climate change is actually audible. here the inner words have taught dustin whalen and his colleagues about resilience something that is naturally part of their culture. the western scientists are

learning to follow suit the the
