Poland’s prime minister says “huge amounts of chemical waste” were probably dumped intentionally into the Oder River, which runs along the border with Germany.
Dead fishes float in the shallow waters of the German-Polish border river Oder near Genschmar, eastern Germany, Friday, Aug. 12, 2022. Huge numbers of dead fish have washed up along the banks of the Oder River between Germany and Poland, sparking warnings of an ecological disaster but no clear answers yet about what the cause could be.
German media have reported that the poison is mercury, although this has not been officially confirmed. “This shows that we are dealing with a gigantic and outrageous ecological catastrophe,” he said at a news conference near the river where officials faced angry residents. Stolzenberg said German authorities were in contact with their Polish counterparts to get further information about the situation and to provide any assistance requested.
