Experts have found chemicals such as DDT and mercury in fish and eggs and are examining other species and products. One of the possible explanations for the contamination is that massive floods that hit the Czech Republic last summer washed chemicals out into the area by the plant. A definite cause, however, has yet to be established. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/spolana2_0.jpg?timestamp=1697464204 Fish and eggs in farms around Spolana chemical plant are inedible due to high content of toxic substances https://english.radio.cz/fish-and-eggs-farms-around-spolana-chemical-plant-are-inedible-due-high-content-8075246 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
