Residents of Dilovasi, an industrial suburb just outside of Istanbul, Turkey, have been looking for answers concerning a mysterious substance that, on numerous occasions, has been found covering cars, trees, clotheslines, and vegetable gardens throughout the city. Milliyet, a Turkish newspaper, reports that government officials are currently trying to identify the source of this sticky goo, which has reportedly made a number of people ill and ruined local crops.
According to Hurriyet Daily News (HDN), the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey is conducting an investigation into the matter, but only after local media began to report that the substance could not be washed or removed from clothes, crops, and other contaminated items.
"My products were worth at least 20,000 Turkish Liras (about $10,695), but they are all destroyed now. Cabbage, leeks, and other produce items were ruined by the goo. I cannot sell these to anyone. I have to throw them away. This substance also covered the windows of my greenhouse and it blocks the sunshine," said Alaattin Illik, a Dilovasi resident and greenhouse owner.
With its blast furnaces, vats of chemical refuse and fetid stream, this town about 100 kilometers (63 miles) east of Istanbul is a symbol of Turkey's uncontrolled industrialization. No less than 170 plants and factories that are a kaleidoscope of all of Turkey's toxic industries have settled in the heart of Dilovasi, chasing the town's 50,000 inhabitants into the surrounding hills -- but not far enough to flee the pollution.
"Linen that is white in the morning is black with filth at night," complained resident Mehmet Umit. "Even on a clear day, when evening comes, the valley is blanketed with clouds and smog."
"When you take the kids outside for sports, they perform well below par because they can't breathe," noted Ali Osman Tok, a physical education teacher at a Dilovasi elementary school.
Ercan Topaca said the factory thought to be the source of the white substance might be closed down if necessary.

The rate of cancer among Dilovasi residents is 30 times above average for Turkey. Dilovasi is infamous for it industrial factories and residential areas being close together.

And yet nn.com decided to blame chemtrails...
Of course it's factories and it's disgusting.
One has to ask why nn.com are trying to divert the attention to chemtrails instead of polluting factories?
