Unsolved pollution problem

Unsolved pollution problem

One of my neighbors, HW, opened a home industry for the
production of shrimp crackers. The positive side is that he has
created employment in the economic crisis. On the other hand he
has generated a negative impact. Having no land to dry the raw
crackers he uses a vacant lot next to a school and close to a
residential area. People complain about the smell of the shrimp
crackers and the water pollution by the production of the
crackers. Drying of the crackers starts at eight in the morning
and lasts until noon. The school children are forced to inhale
the unsavory smelly air every day. The school has sent a letter
to the kelurahan (sub-district) office, telephoned them and told
them of the problem. There has been no satisfactory answer.

1. Is there a legal basis for the water pollution and the air
pollution caused by the drying of shrimp crackers in an area
which is not owned by the producer and which disturbs the
students in class?

2. Which authority should be contacted? The kelurahan office
has not taken any action so far.

I appeal to the authorities to help solve the problem.
