In the samples of water from Kamchatka, they did not find excess of harmful substances - the governor

The Governor of the Kamchatka Territory Vladimir Solodov said that the general results of water samples and the dead marine inhabitants did not show excess of maximum permissible concentrations of pollutants. Solodov said this on the air of the Russia 24 television channel.

“General analyzes that have been carried out until they give an exceeding maximum permissible concentrations of substances that are usually analyzed,” Solodov said, clarifying that it is about oil products, heavy metals and radioactive substances.

The governor noted that the studies are conducted in three independent laboratories: the laboratories of the Institute of the Academy of Sciences, the Laboratory of toxicology of Rospotrebnadzor in Moscow, as well as in the Laboratory of Rospotrebnadzor in Vladivostok.

At the same time, Solodov emphasized that it is impossible to say that the environmental situation on the Pacific coast of Kamchatka is normal because people received eye burns in contact with water, and dead marine animals were discovered on the shore. He added that a complex spectral analysis is now conducted, the first results of which should appear today.

Earlier today, Solodov said that water pollution on the coast of the Avachinsky Gulf of the Pacific Ocean could occur as a result of not only the human factor, but also natural influences. “Among the possible options that began to be produced, is a version of technogenic pollution related to human activity, with spills of some toxic substances. Which accurately - now we have to find out if this version is confirmed. Scientists say that this can also be associated with natural phenomena, with the behavior of algae, which during the storm carried on the coastline. The version and seismic activity associated with volcanic manifestations are also being worked out, ”Solodov said.
