July 2017: Karim B., a truck driver, temporary worker for an ArcelorMittal subcontractor in Lorraine, films himself dumping a yellowish liquid into the environment. In this shocking video, he accuses: "This is how we treat waste at Arcelor, we dump acid into the open air. This is what we're going to leave for our kids later." The world's number one steelmaker replies: it's not acid, but iron hydroxide sludge, which is therefore harmless. Pedro Da Fonseca led the investigation. He obtained an internal company document that undermines ArcelorMittal's version. He also obtained exclusive revelations. A former employee claims to have also dumped this highly corrosive product, on the orders of his superiors. Another pollution revealed on the Internet: that of Fort de Vaujours, in the Paris region. Christophe Nédélec, from the collective "Sauvons la Dhuis", clandestinely entered the former site of the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). He filmed his Geiger counter which indicated abnormal and worrying radioactivity. What nuclear activities, covered by state secrecy, were carried out here? The health authorities noted an abnormal rate of tumors in the surrounding area. Should we see a link? Is the site really decontaminated today? Local residents are worried about the construction site launched by the company Placoplatre, which currently operates the site. Could radioactive dust be spread during the work? Pollution: citizen alerts on the net A film by Pedro Brito Da Fonseca
