River in Norilsk became bright red

Rosprirodnazdor sets forth the reasons why the river Daldykan in the city of Norilsk (Krasnoyarsk region) began to resemble a stream of red paint. The head of the Ministry of natural resources of Russia Sergey Donskoy instructed the head of departments to personally monitor the progress check and assessment of environmental damage.

Reports of pollution of the river Daldykan chemicals began to flow in the Ministry of the Russian Federation on 6 September. According to the preliminary version, the reagents fell into the water after the accident on one of the polar division mining and metallurgical company "Norilsk Nickel".

Iron salts, color Daldykan river near Norilsk in red, got into it due to the abnormal rains that fell in the region, the report said Norilsk Nickel. Previously the company had denied reports that the contamination occurred as a result of accidental discharge from the Nadezhda metallurgical plant.
