Every day they soak up the dirty garbage under channel B that pollutes the water source and exposes dirty waste along the sides of the canal, making the air more polluted. '

And Mrs. Nguyen Thi Nghiep was sick all year long because she inhaled the smell of exhaust gas from the plastic mill beside her, complaining: 'My family has two people who were both sick because they could not bear the torture. The plastic grinder cooks glue next. Every day, especially in the evening, this production facility is operating continuously, the dust is blind, the sound of machine sounds, and the neighbors can't sleep. '

Dozens of households in the neighborhood must also live in the same situation.

The environmental pollution from waste of waste plastic recycling facilities in the hamlet 7 area of ​​Le Minh Xuan commune has occurred for a long time.

People have repeatedly applied to Le Minh Xuan Commune People's Committee and Binh Chanh District Department of Natural Resources and Environment to propose remedial measures.
