Recall
The discharge of wastewater from a sugar factory in the city of Tiotkino, Russia, caused pollution of the Seim River, which flows into the Desna, with organic matter, leading to massive fish kills.
Due to the biological contamination of the water in the Seim and Desna rivers, the State Environmental Inspectorate reports catching 17 tons of dead fish and estimates the damage at over UAH 200 million.
And on September 9 , a spot of pollution in the Desna River had already reached Chernihiv, with an unpleasant odor and a fish kill.
According to environmentalists, it will now take 2-3 years to restore the ecosystems of the Seim and Desna rivers.
According to the Ministry of Environment, contaminated water from the Desna River could have reached Kyiv region on September 14-16.
