Spill impacts in Hungary ease, Danube monitored
Pollution levels from a red sludge spill in Hungary have declined and the Danube, one of Europe's longest rivers, has suffered no palpable damage so far, a spokesman for Hungarian disaster crews said on Friday.
Tibor Dobson said fresh data showed pH levels of 8-8.2 in the Danube, which could be considered "normal," down from a level of around 9 when the sludge reached the river on Thursday.
"These data give us hope ... and we have not experienced any damage on the main Danube so far," Dobson told Reuters. Crews have strived to reduce the alkaline content of Monday's spill from a containment reservoir of an alumina plant.
