Polluted channel bubbles with toxic foam
Ha Nam Province irrigation channel A48 in has been bubbled with thick, white foam for 10 years and the situation is worsening.
The locals have complained about the pollution many times but nothing has been done. There are 30 households living near the pumping station and it has been reported that even their fish were affected.
Another local Tran Quang Chanh said the pollution became worse when the water level in Nhue River was low. The smell was so unbearable that many families had to wear masks while sleeping.
Test results from the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment show that the ammonia level in Chau Giang River is 70.3 times higher than the permitted level. Water with high ammonia levels can cause cancer and other deadly diseases. Organic pollution is also affecting the water quality.
