A spot of fuel oil from the Russian tankers reached Odessa and poisoned fish: what are the consequences for humans (video)

In addition, there is a threat of dolphin death. Ecologist Ivan Rusev told about the consequences of an ecological disaster that happened in the Kerch Strait a month ago in the Kerch Strait. The TV channel first showed that black oily clots that covered the sand were found on the Ukrainian coast at a distance of 20-40 m from the water. Rusev confirmed that these were the consequences of the accident of Russian tankers, which occurred in the Kerch Strait.

According to him, he hoped that the leaks would carry the poisonous spot past Odessa, but she still got the shores. For a while, she will reach the coast of Romania and Bulgaria, the ecologist emphasized. Meanwhile, the fish in the Black Sea was exposed to fuel oil and became poisonous, the interlocutor of journalists said. Poisoning occurred through food chains - through "zooplankton, phytoplankton it goes to the mushroom, then to dolphins, and the person also goes.

" He warned that the people who will use it would have problems with breathing and skin. "It is toxic to human health. There will be an effect on the skin, the respiratory system. It affects the immune system, because it is embedded in the mechanism of functioning of the body and will affect the decrease in the human immune system," the ecologist said. Rusev said that they conducted research in the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky district-15 km in the National Park and on the neighboring sandy beaches.

At the same time found a two -kilometer area with fuel oil. He explained that the substance would subsequently fall to the bottom. When the temperature rises, it will begin to decompose and poison everything around. "A lot of it washed back into the sea, he settles there on a shelf and needs to be collected urgently. Because he, when the temperature rises begins, will be very toxic to living on the coast, for biodiversity, for the life and health of people," - said Rusev.

It should be noted that in January 2025, due to severe bad weather, there was an accident with two Russian tankers in the Black Sea-"Volgoneft 212" and "Volgoneft-239". The tankers transported the fuel oil and sank during the storm. The fuel oil poured into the sea and first reached the coast of the Russian Federation in the Krasnodar region. Local activists tried to collect the substance in bags and save the birds.

Meanwhile, the poisonous spot first reached the Crimea, and two weeks ago, on January 8, environmentalists warned of a threat to Odessa. According to the then data, the spot was 250 km from the Ukrainian city. According to Ecologist Vladislav Balinsky, she moves clockwise in the direction of the main Black Sea current and will soon reach the west coast.
