Recently, the famous Marina Beach in Chennai, the capital of India's Tammyrnadu province, was covered with white toxic foam for four consecutive days, causing a new wave of pollution crisis in India. However, the local people, whether adults or children, are obviously unaware of this harm, but instead use it as a miracle to enter and lie in the bubble and play.
India Today reported on December 3 that residents of Malina Beach had spent restless nights for days, with storms sweeping through the area. Local residents say they can't finally fall asleep until after midnight, when the gusts of wind subside. But what disturbed the local people even more was that they woke up to a strange scene.
Musumani, 36, said it was almost 4 a.m. when she heard neighbors gather outside, and she rushed to see if the torrential rain had caused so much damage, only to see foam on the beach.
She said, "I just walked out of the house two steps and saw white foam covering the beach, and the foam was very thick, all the way to the waist of the person." Every monsoon season we see this bubble, but this is the first time so much that it floats all the way to our house, at least 100 meters away."
We were really scared because we didn't know how this would affect our children's health, she continued.
Even with the pungent smell of the foam, children and adults still play and take selfies in the white foam piles on the beach, and children lie in the foam and play, and also fish the white foam and smear it on their bodies or throw it into the air.
Indian experts say the toxic foams were blown to the beach by the wind. These white foams cover the one-kilometer-long beach like a thick carpet, stretching from the lighthouses of the marina to the distant estuary.
Wipe on the body
The children say it's their fourth day of playing with foam, unaware that the white foam covering their feet is actually a toxic byproduct of urban and industrial waste.
"I'm not sure how it will hurt us," local residents said. When I stood inside the foam for a long time, my legs felt itchy and strange."
