Who are not

0In August and September last year, the plant was closed while new filtering systems were fitted. Bela Balazs, Sometra's production director, told me that emissions were now within EU limits. 02br
00"We have results about heavy metal content in the emitted dust and every measurement is in the correct level," he explained. 02br
00He talked of there being a major difference between historic pollution and the factory's current emissions. 02br
00But when we asked to film the new filters, we were refused. 02br
01font00There is a legacy of distrust. While around 1,000 people are employed at the plant, there are many more living locally who are not. 02font02br
00Most conversations on the street quickly turned to the pollution and the threat to health.02br
00There is talk of a clean-up: hundreds of new trees have been planted. But the toxins have penetrated at least one metre (three feet) into the soil. 02br
00Improvements will need to be measured over decades rather than years.02br
