In Kyiv, public utilities have recorded the pollution of Lake Minske in the Obolon district of the capital. In particular, the level of ammonia is exceeded in the reservoir. This was reported by UNN with reference to a statement by the Pleso utility company.
Details
It is noted that during a routine inspection of the reservoir, dead fish were found, indicating that harmful substances may have entered the water.
In order to determine the causes of this phenomenon, the company's specialists promptly took water samples and conducted laboratory analysis. The results of the research confirmed that the permissible ammonia content was exceeded, which was probably the main factor in the fish death
To eliminate the consequences of the pollution and prevent the further spread of harmful substances, Pleso employees took a number of measures.
In particular, the dead fish were collected and disposed of, and the water surface was treated with the Ecolan-M sorbent to neutralize pollution. At the same time, continuous monitoring of water quality in Lake Minsk was organized.
