Pumping station pollution plagues community

Villagers living by Tamouk lake are tired of rancid sewage bubbles wafting into their homes.

Chea Reaksmey could not understand what was wrong with her young son, who kept coughing and coughing despite being given medication from a local pharmacy.

After months of confusion, one of the doctors she visited finally asked where she lives and her answer – alongside Tamouk lake in Prek Pnov district – solved the riddle.

“Doctors told me that one of my sons has a respiratory tract infection; that’s why he is always coughing and has sore throat,” says Ms Reaksmey. “I’m so worried about him, and I’m also pregnant.”

Ms Reaksmey says that the constant pollution wafting into her home from the lake in the form of foam lines due to sewage discharge is to blame.

“My family’s health is not good because I have young children and they’re easily affected by the pollution,” she says. “The doctor told me that my children are exposed to a bad environment.”
