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.

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
