[student laughing] fernandez: plankton and plants that are contaminated with mercury then get eaten by one fish, and then another fish will eat that fish and so on and so on up the food chain. but mercury has a very unusual characteristic. it magnifies. when it goes from one link in that chain to the other, it magnifies roughly by a factor of 10. they are then exposed to levels of mercury that could be millions of times higher than the water where that fish was swimming. fernandez: if it's happening when you are a child or if you are a fetus, that damage can be p

this man leads an environmental ngo.en uncovering dump sites and factories run by illegal recyclers all over the town. this was the first site he identified. this footage shows how the site looked two years ago. morere than 5,000 tons of the illegal plastic garbage had been piled up. most of it was smuggled in from wealthy countries like the united states and japan as well as europe. next to the dump site was a factory, where workers separated the salvageable bits from the trash piles and sold it to recyclers. tan found that dirty waters used to wash the plastic waste was coming out of the factory. he also obtained proof that the plant was burning non-recyclable plastic garbage during the night to get rid of it. air pollution from the plant caused dozens of people living nearby to contract serious respiratory illnesses. >> translator: there was an awful strong smell at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning. the local residents were not able to sleep. these companies that deal in plastic garbage have no concern about the environmen

but when you see where is the problem if the ngos are in contact the weavers modeless with the traffickers i would even suggest that the end use to speak freely and say yes we are in touch with them because we care about their lifes and therefore we want to assure the migrants we have the highest chances to get the rescued and therefore to survive but you know to stay. not a common behavior currently in europe saw we start to speak feed the even acknowledges to cross the sea in these conditions is another way. because as i explained in my videos the more people are involved the human traffickers are use the weaker and weaker ships saw before they used. ship and then they use an inflatable ship like those 4 and a kids now because they are human traffic and if there are more people they have to improvise any ships i can he use this all follow k. then we can put people out of here and send it back to their r.v. enjoys this will save you time anyway we can use literally anything to do to traffic people that's the problem the new wave of a tally and politicians led by selfie need responded to l
