00:01Stagnant flood water and scattered debris left by the three storms since early July
00:05not only halted people's daily lives, but are also endangering their health.
00:11Over the past week, nine people have reportedly contracted melioidosis,
00:16a serious bacterial infection, and one has died from subsequent complications.
00:30The high summer heat combined with polluted floodwaters have also led to cases of leptospirosis and dengue fever.
00:44In buildings whose roofs were damaged by the typhoon, residents are still working to rebuild,
00:49by first breaking them down into smaller pieces.
00:53But what seems like a normal practice could lead to health problems, even cancer.
00:57These old tiles, common in countries like Japan and Taiwan, is made of asbestos.
01:14But there is no time for these residents to wait for professional help.
01:18Many have put on gloves and got to work.
01:20Taiwan has restricted all asbestos used as of 2018.
01:37But many houses built with this material still stand to this day.
01:41Doctors say extra steps are needed to regulate asbestos pollution.
01:45The environment ministry says it has warned local officials and residents
02:10about the health risks of asbestos tiles.
02:13And it is allocating 45 million U.S. dollars to help locals remove them
02:17as part of its disaster relief budget.
02:20Whether it's dealing with disaster or toxic waste,
02:23Taiwan still has a long way to go to overcome the impacts of these storms.
