Tannery poisoning in vegetables and fish, the danger is increasing cancer

For years the danger had been going on. But the sleep was not broken. When it was broken, it was too late. Methylmercury was being drained from a Sisso Rayasonic factory in Minamata, Japan. Fish poisoned in mercury-poisoned water. Hundreds of people were getting sick of eating fish. Sixty years ago, Rush was drawn into danger after he was diagnosed with 'Minmata Disease'. However, the hazardous business is still on the outskirts of Kolkata.

Humans can spread heavy metals such as chromium, nickel and lead through organic fertilizers made from tannery waste near Bantala Charmanagar. Such fears of scientists. The body is also used as a fishery food. Locals complain that these tannery factories, which were operating illegally in Bhirampur-1 block, were sometimes closed in administrative operations but were mysteriously reopened. How is the work of organic fertilizers still being done in Bairampur? "We have stopped before that," said Saudat Patra, a BDO of Bhangra-3. After that, we will immediately launch an operation against the factories that are lurking and stealing. ”A head of the West Bengal Pollution Control Board said on Monday,“ Complaints have also come to us. Talked to the police superintendent of Baruipur today. The council-police will launch an operation.

In the heavy metal, the picture of the danger of arsenic in this state has come to the fore. Professor Rai Chowdhury, a professor at the Jadavpur University School of Environmental Studies, said that the soil and paddy of the Sundarbans contain extremely harmful chromium. One of the sources of tannery. Environmentalist Swati Nandi Chakraborty said lead, chromium and nickel were also found in the wetlands of eastern Kolkata.

Abid Ali Mollah, Yunus Mollara, who has been involved in the manufacture of fertilizers by baking the skin of Bairampur for a long time. The local people are one and a half thousand people. On the question of what will happen to them, environmental activist Nav Dutt reminds, "Only if the environment is saved, people will survive." But how healthy? Somnath Das, a forensic science medicine teacher at RG Kar Medical College in the state, said that lead, chromium is used for tanning and paint work. It is necessary to see the presence of these elements in the waste from which the fertilizer is being produced. In what way is it being made? We need to look at how the liquid chemicals are made after fertilizer preparation and where? Organic fertilizers can be made by boiling the skin, which is an organic matter. When boiled, a lot of toxic chemicals are released. But again, the rhizonic mixes with the skin in the boiling water. Where water is being poured, pollution is spreading too.

Fisheries scientist Bijan Mandal said that skin contains harmful chemicals. The possibility of entering the human body through fish meal is also reduced. Professor Sadhan Ghosh, Dean of Engineering Branch at Jadavpur University and Professor of Waste Management, said that the use of hexavalent chromium in the tannery was now prohibited. But whether all tanneries are compliant, we need to see.
