In recent days, Russian River is dyed blood-red. The trail of pollution nickel is favored by the government.Pollution to nickel?
We knew the water tinted green for St. Patrick's Day, but for now, the red color taken by theDaldykan river in Russia in recent days remains a mystery.
Pollution or natural phenomenon? The Russian Ministry of Ecology has launched an investigation to determine the exact causes of this coloration.
The information was revealed by the local press before being relayed by the national press and especially the Siberian Times . The people of the city of Norilsk, known to be the coldest in the world, but also to be the largest international nickel producer, alerted the authorities about the Daldykan river that suddenly tinged with red.
Immediately, the Russian Minister of Ecology has referred the dossier to try to determine the reasons for the blood red color. If he does not rule out a rare natural phenomenon, the thesis of the accident industrial seems the most plausible. "According to preliminary information, the probable reason for the river pollution could be the rupture of a drainpipe factory Norilsk nickel " the ministry said in a statement.
Precedents in the region
For several years, the nickel mining has radically transformed the region and abnormal phenomena occur. Thus, clouds or some rivers were tinted neon colors many times.
Meanwhile, a source close to the factory in Norilsk Nickel, Siberian contacted by the Times, would report the color of water "is no different from its normal color" ... This same source made it clear that production had been slowed however.
