Clarifies more details about pollutants in the Dane River

In the morning, firefighters and environmentalists from the Tauralaukis Bridge were explored by the Dane River, where pollutants were observed.

“The film is not thick, the amount of pollutants may not be high. We guess these are petroleum products, ”said Arvydas Žilinskas, Chief Specialist of the Environmental Protection Division.

Firefighters sprayed the oil film on the water from above from the bridge, others fought with pollutants by boat.

“We use the oil degrador to break down those contaminants. We will try to stop all the pollutants, ”said Mindaugas Lengvinas, operation manager.

Although there are not much pollutants, they spread quite widely. As the pollutants with water flowed down the river, the large firefighters also worked about a kilometer from the bridge. Firefighters built several tens of meters of bonium barriers in the river, which are designed to prevent pollutants from flowing further.

Klaipeda people have their own versions where the pollution came from. It speculates that perhaps from gardens or garages near the river.

“From the top, the pipe goes out from there. It has long been here. And sometimes, when there is a high current, it is black water like sludge, ”he said.

“Unless the boat is thrown by the canister. But how much a person needs to be washed to do it? When you can carry it everywhere, give those lubricants … right, you have paid – you handed it over, ”the man believes.

Firefighters also have their own versions.

“Mostly such contaminants are noticeable after rain when it runs out, or is when someone in companies pours chemicals, ointments or other household wastewater. But environmental protection is likely to determine where the pollutants came from, ”Lenghin said.

Environmentalists explain similarly.

« There were rainfall at night, so maybe it washed somewhere from the contaminated areas, and now the pollutants pass through the Dane River through some outlet and descend towards the Curonian Lagoon, » said A. Žilinskas.

After intensive search, environmentalists discovered a possible source of pollution. He is on a private estate. A broken hose was found from which the diesel fuel flowed.

Last year, when oil remains were also spread on the Dane River, environmentalists found a sewage pipe polluted by the river. However, more than three years ago, on New Year's Eve, it failed to determine an emergency in Klaipeda's emergency where Danish diesel and used oil was extremely abundant. Although the liquidation of the pollution to the Klaipėda River then cost about 55 thousand. euros.
