the river with no purification. i this is a very it is their life they know this is the only a walk i want to get close to god. and the plan of attack i dependent on this river for a number of trees this week just some of which are bt if i defy the affair by the end there will be. if. we wash ourselves here brooke. as we have no other choice we have no running water but there are always two hundred people waiting at the public fountains so we have to wash them this filthy water. just like many others the owner of this small town or e. specialized in dying skins is unconcerned by the hazards his activity gives rise to .
11:33 pm
the owner of this evacuation system has been in use for a long time. it was dirty water inevitably goes into the river. there's nowhere else for it to go that's the way it is. bagnall the judge it would naturally flow into the river. thief of course water containing chemicals is bad for the health probable there would have been a bubble but if we worried about toxicity it would stop working. to go by when it was ready to do that. but in this country and the polluters need the factory owners polluting they don't really want to clean up. philip again is a bangladeshi scientist in ten years he's been the only person to study the question of the pollution produced by the ten days of his area back. i think that
11:34 pm
that situation has become worse he sees the washed polluted area that i have ever seen in bangladesh and in many other countries. maybe yes maybe he didn't get hurt yet and all the factories. releasing. three did leave we waste. seventy per cent of the total for the show and that is being caused to this rebirth is coming from the teddy. don't be grown man eater that either walked up and easy to figure out how to take chromium out of us to stop . if yourself a smoker is contaminated with chromium and if it is contaminated activity that you can't even cure it that means you're actually exposing the entire population of the city into very deadly n.s.e. the.

tellers have poisoned the city's entire canal system. was the main artery of. drinkable water and fish to the population. today it's the third most polluted river in the world no living will can survive in it and the stench it exudes makes even sailing there is a difficult. issue . to leave that alone. you don't even need to. go back but it would. cost on the end of the water is poison can't be any fish with the tanneries. tell you our forefathers were fishermen and
11:36 pm
lived off it we haven't caught anything for seven months now the film. was to carry on even if there are no more fish we can barely survive. that should look. good joe you see our empty nets oh my. god lives should use the. yes it. was. the. run. dry. but. it's only during the rainy season with the fall of fresh water the fishermen could hope to catch a life fish. it would take many years and millions of euros to clean this water
11:37 pm
don't let them look at them i have that is what i have been eating here for thirteen years when i want to resign clean and my husband was a fisherman and we were leaving thanks to seem that all did they have to fish for on the road again there is an edible and my husband is out of work if the riva were cleaned we could leave well from it. go to the government is responsible for the state of the battleground a good long look what happened to it this river runs right through dhaka how could they let this happen why the government does nothing. the human ecological consequences are nothing short of a catastrophe. the world trade organization has ruled that alternatives must be brought up to international regulation re standards by two thousand and fourteen but bangladesh finds itself in a catch twenty two situation now to continue developing its booming leather
11:38 pm
industry and at the same time respond to the health and environmental concerns of its population. to deal with the situation the department of the environment has appointed mr choudary. his mission is to bring the factories up to standard and to sanction the polluting industrialists that's to say ninety nine percent of tannery . how can i say that it's easy to do much complicated to ship it to lending. him next year and also for long. and then france because. he. should there be an effect and dry after having. we raise so much pressure from the industry and owners from the high hopes. complaint about pollution is to challenge really intense scientific team have come to take some samples.
11:39 pm
yes are you listening to me not our long defined which factories are responsible i think belongs to the group like the one to the. money. we've got to get samples. telling did what you did why did the pollution is increasing there were swimming was over here and how it becomes so that their. money is money out of how we got those samples. on the field. after discovering an exceptionally high level of water pollutants he visits the tender young. begin. coming over here and we found this. illegal trade did this releasing the dog to go out there without having to mend this leg in polluting waters going to the pound and polluting the agriculture the cows you see taking the plants having
11:40 pm
this body did what i did and they made this big animal mandich to be ordered to let's go up this dust is very dangerous one of those factories dust emissions are poisoning us. this it also does dimension from this factory and we are not being affected. by need to proclaim i think there's a problem with your water the oxygen levels and it will be low with the smell of money to the waters but i can tell from that smell. funny going to the can we did push up but it would seem your water tree. system isn't working every day i got to put this and i know. you have invested in installing it but it doesn't work. but it d.p.p. but it's not functioning and this is this is proof of your failure the oxygen level is very low but i'm going to test it in front of you. that you can pick up it's very poor water odor and color are so strong in order to. you'll see. this
11:41 pm
money from practical experience and this is what it is dog free from pollution samples show the level of oxygen dilution in the water to be zero point four for a fish to survive it should be at nine. but there this is a warning so that you correct your errors but i'm going to have to sanction you for your wrongdoing but you'll be closed down if you do nothing but to believe me i've had many factories shut down but you can check what i'm telling you it's in the press. the statutory fine for polluting the environment is ten thousand euros yes this appears this remains more of a threat than actually enforcement of the law. putting to transparency international bangladesh is one of the twenty most corrupt countries in the world in his area bag
11:42 pm

11:46 pm
get there is have to move within a certain day if they are bad i have to show dollars then it was actually the government put big on behalf of the dead lady owners in the court and the government pleaded for an extension after so you see the gallery owners and the government coming to get there in asking for more pain from the court it could have been just how do we deal with. this developing country of one hundred fifty million inhabitants ensures its economical survival thanks to the letter and textile industries which represent eighty percent of the nation's exports let the market is booming. production costs in china have doubled over the last five years and the dish has become the place to go so biased from the west in two thousand and ten alone that the production here rose by forty percent. the industry supports a multitude of smaller businesses skin drying transportation waste intimidation and

the european union contributed two million euros to a number of his area back ten who is in the aim of producing a cleaner less. announce the results when significant the only means of saving the population in the environment would be to place the tanneries outside. the moves of this kind is costly and would increase production costs for european purchases prepared to accept such a deal. the saddest thing is that we in this country we need industrialisation but not such industrialization because east africa h.-h.
