    • 2020 December 8, Nilmar Lage, Pedro Grigori, quoting Geraldo, “Aterro de agrotóxico proibido contaminou solo e água por quatro décadas em Minas Gerais, diz MP”, in Repórter Brasil‎[1], São Paulo:
      Sabiamos que tinha aldrin enterrado em todo canto, mas só agora descobrimos o que é isso, as doenças que causam e que tava na água. O aldrin do nosso córrego vem da área do aterro. Nós bebemos a água do rio, como vamos viver?
      We knew that there was aldrin burried everywhere, but we just discoverd what it was, the diseases it caused and that it was in the water. The aldrin in our creek comes from the landfill area. We drink the river water, how are we gonna live?
