Mostovitsa is in trouble again: in Chistye Prudy, the river is polluted with oily runoff
Pollution of the small Mostovitsa River was again recorded in the Chistye Prudy microdistrict. According to local residents at the regional branch of the Popular Front, for several weeks the water in the river has acquired a cloudy color and an unpleasant chemical odor. There are oily streaks on the surface. People get dizzy from being around for a long time.
Public activists conducted an on-site inspection and found out that the source of pollution is presumably located near house No. 1 on Mostovitskaya Street. There, a pipe with a diameter of more than 40 cm was found under the slope, from which cloudy water with an oily film flows out. There are no such signs upstream, which indicates a specific discharge site.
This is not the first case of contamination of the Bridge. In 2021, the Popular Front has already drawn attention to the mass death of fish in this river. Then an independent examination showed an excess of pH and orthophosphate levels, and the cause turned out to be uncleaned wastewater from one of the enterprises. After the announcement, the Ministry of Ecology promised to change approaches to monitoring small bodies of water. However, judging by the current situation, the problem has not been resolved.
"We have sent an appeal to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, we will wait for the results of laboratory tests and the identification of the culprits of pollution," said Alyona Chesnokova, co—chairman of the regional headquarters of the Popular Front.
