Science has made progress and has made extraordinary strides but some questions have arisen today because of science. The biggest question is whether to call it progress or degradation? A rural farmer from Bardoli or any other taluka can water the crop – talk to another Patel farmer in the US or Zambia on the phone, show live video of the crop, water and land. This was not expected 30-35 years ago but it is also true that crops, water and land have become poisons. The fruits that ripen from them, even though they look like nectar from above, have become poisonous for the body. In Bahuratna Vasundhara, only plastics and chemicals are now found as gems. The rivers of the world are turning into sewers. This situation is not unique to underdeveloped countries. Rivers in Europe and America are beginning to become sewers.
The second major cause of degradation, along with science, is the lure of money. Farmers, companies, and corrupt governments are all exposed to money. The worst role is played by companies. Some chemicals businesses are not like leaving on companies. What happened to Vapi, Ankleshwar and Zaghadiya is before our eyes. Micro plastics are everywhere. In water, in soil, in food and in the body. Some toxic chemicals survive in water, soil forever. In the technical language of science it is known as poly-fluorinate alkyl substations (PFAS), but in common parlance it is known as ‘Forever Chemicals’.
It belongs to both polymers and non-polymers group. These chemicals have long been used by humans as agents in washing clothes, utensils, flooring, textiles and many other activities. All this waste is dumped in the sewers of cities and villages. From there it reaches rivers and farmland. The Hollywood movie ‘Dark Waters’ was made on the theme of ‘Forever Chemicals’. Toxins are spread in pure water. The number of flimsy otters swimming, playing and living in the water has come down drastically due to the power of contaminated water. Earlier in the 20th century, when the use of a chemical called organochlorine increased so much, the number of oats that seemed playful and popular increased a lot. The situation improved a bit when it was discontinued but now again Otro has to deal with new toxic chemicals.
The people of India do not have to explain why rivers become polluted and take the form of sewers. If people in India and Gujarat make mouth gutters with mava and plastic mava, then what is the use of rivers? In a temple near Dharampur, the priest kills the injectable spray on the beautiful floor next to the host for worship – for Dakshina. They invoke all the rivers of the world in verse. Are they really worried about the river? In a country of lazy people, there is a special need to ban mava instead of banning alcohol.
It was also necessary to move the talk a little horizontally. The question is how the toxic chemicals got into the rivers, even though the clean water and sewage disposal systems are arranged differently in Europe and America. In India, it is understood that people consider rivers as sewers. He pours water on his head but leaves the excrement there. Improvements dump garbage on river banks. The open waste of the cities melts into the river in the rain. Even though sewers flow into the river, Britain’s rivers have been studied to find out why microplastics and evergreen chemicals have been mixed into the water.
The worn particles of the tires of the motor vehicles that we run on the roads are stuck on the roads. The fine waste from the polyester and other synthetic chemicals we use in clothing, things, shoes, etc., reaches the rivers through water or sewers. In India, there is no uniformity in how improvements treat wells or river water. There is no modernity anywhere. We use so many toxic chemicals in agriculture that it gets into the river. The one in the well comes to the well. Sewers are also treated in Britain. Sewage waste is separated and pure water is separated from it.
According to the system there, the sewerage waste is in the form of organic, excrement and natural chemicals. Britain’s sewage system separates 99% of sewage waste, which contains certain chemical fibers. The remaining pure water is then discharged into the forest by the sewage treatment companies. It also promotes the growth of forests. But 87% of the residue that is left over is treated and then it is sold to be used as fertilizer in farms. But it does contain microscopic plastic particles. These particles are very difficult to catch. A very complicated and expensive process has to be set up to catch. Even if it is in the human body, it is not easily caught.
Now here comes the basic point. Since the year 1989, various private companies have been contracted to treat sewage water in British cities. Since then, the companies have paid their shareholders 72 72 billion in dividends or profits. It is OK and necessary for companies to save money by operating efficiently but the way to cut through the necessary process and also to make a profit for the shareholders does not work in some systems at all. Britain’s sewage treatment companies are suspected of having reduced some of the more expensive but necessary regulations, procedures and sold them to scavenger farmers, so micro-plastics have become ubiquitous in land and water. Forever chemicals blended. These chemicals cause cancer in the body, disrupt glands and organs like kidneys, liver, heart etc.
One view is that microplastics are to be mixed into soil and water from other sources and routes, regardless of whether the sewers are treated or not. Even if the road water goes to the field in monsoon, the chemicals of tire are received in the soil. No definitive research has been done on the effect of microplastics on farm trees, leaves or standing crops, if they penetrate into nature, and the effects of eating them on human health. Etc. have been found in large quantities and the risk of cancer due to consumption of benzo pyrene etc. is very high.
The toxic waste that is dumped in the sewers mixes up a great deal with today’s building activity. Sewers and houses have become an integral part of cities. Chemicals for building paints, sealants and coatings, adhesives, chemicals for roofing, etc. contain Forever Chemicals. The government has to make arrangements for separate disposal of building waste but what if the government is made up of builders? What happens when the heart is in pain? Nowadays microplastics are deliberately used or spread on farms. Sprinkle the soil with microplastic compost to make the soil more loose, more friable.
In addition, microplastic coating should be applied on the compost seeds to ensure that the nutrients in the synthetic fertilizer are absorbed into the soil and used immediately. Fertilizer is also prepared in the same way that many of today’s drugs are made to have a ‘delayed release’ or a late to gradual uniform effect. But in the process the amount of plastic in the soil increases. This layer of plastic is in the form of a film of polyurethane, polystyrene, PVC, polycrydamine and other forms. These are all hazardous components and they turn into microplastics. But companies make it and farmers use it without worrying about people’s lives. The only advantage is getting more money.
