Residents of Rainham in east London are facing serious health hazards due to decades of illegally dumped toxic waste smoldering under Arnolds Field. With warmer weather comes the risk of increasing fires, dubbed the 'Rainham Volcano,' leading to toxic smoke that residents have to endure. Local Pauline Claridge highlights deteriorating air quality and worsening health conditions, including asthma and COPD, attributed to the hazardous environment. The situation has ignited frustration among residents who feel ignored by authorities, especially following increased public awareness from the Netflix show, Toxic Town.
It's gone on too long and feels like we're not being listened to. Everyone seems to be making excuses and no-one has even said sorry. And what's got everyone up in arms at the moment is that everyone's watched that Netflix programme, Toxic Town.
It's an absolutely rancid, horrible smell, and it just burns your throat. Today I've checked the air quality and it's not good.
