The discharge of sewage from a sugar factory in the city of Tyotkino, Russian Federation, caused the pollution of the Seim River, which flows into the Desna, with organic substances, which led to a mass death of fish.
Due to biological contamination of the water in the Seimas and Desna, the State Inspectorate reports the catch of 17 tons of dead fish and estimates the damage at over 200 million hryvnias.
And on the ninth of September, the spot of pollution in the Desna River had already reached Chernigov, there was an unpleasant smell and fish plague.
According to ecologists, now it takes 2-3 years to restore the ecosystems of the rivers Seim and Desna.
According to the Ministry of Environment, polluted water from Desna could reach Kyiv region on September 14-16.
