- Lahad was asked and answered regarding the survey and the conclusions drawn from it, as follows:
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Could it be that someone who replied that he felt that he was harmed, that he was concerned about the damage to the environment, actually meant to say that he was concerned about the level of dirt in his area?
The witness, Prof. M. Echo: It could be.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: And could it be that you included here as well, people who are concerned about the quality of their drinking water?
The witness, Prof. M. Echo: As a resident of Tel Aviv, after many years of being a resident of the north, I can say that the quality of the water here is very poor.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Are you worried about her?
The witness, Prof. M. Echo: Yes, that's why I put filters on.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: So could it be that like you, just as you are concerned about the quality of the water, there are other people here who are concerned about the quality of the water, and therefore we have signaled that they are concerned about the quality of the environment?
The witness, Prof. M. Echo: But pay attention to what I'm telling you, it means that the residents of Tel Aviv will be the same as the residents of Haifa.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Sir, you are going back to the residents of Tel Aviv, I am asking you right now about the definition, you introduced the Knesset here, you introduced the definition here.
The witness, Prof. M. Echo: I said I didn't know how to distinguish between water..
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: How do you tie it, let's see why you tie it, but you're talking about damage to the environment and here you're not asking about general damage to the environment, you're specifically asked about air pollution coming from factories and your definition here is a broad definition that includes water quality, dirt and the like. God knows what similarity is.
The witness, Prof. M. Echo: The like.
