TOXIC VEGETABLES FROM YAMUNA FLOODPLAINS!
HELP! THE FOAM AFFECTS US AT HOME TOO!
If you think you're safe from the toxic foam at home, think again, you are not. You are eating the toxic vegetables and fruits grown on the Yamuna flood plains, irrigated with the polluted river water. This land has high levels of toxic metals like nickel, lead, mercury that can cause cancer. These metals can get stored inside the growing vegetables.

It is most important that we should not just wash our vegetables but also soak them in baking soda for 10-15 mins to remove all chemicals from the surface of the vegetables. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about the metals in these vegetables so it is best to buy and eat organic vegetables.
"Vegetable farming on the floodplains of the Yamuna continues unabated despite a ban by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) in 2015. In 2015, the NGT had directed that no authority shall permit and no person shall carry out any edible crops or fodder cultivation on the floodplain till Yamuna is made free of pollution and is restored to its natural state" (https://www.iamrenew.com/policy/beware-delhi-toxic-metals-found-in-vegetables-grown-in-yamuna-plains/)
