From a couple other sources:
> Poland’s prime minister said Friday that “huge amounts of chemical waste” were probably dumped intentionally into the Oder River, which runs along the border with Germany, causing environmental damage so severe it will take the river years to recover.
> At least 10 tonnes of dead fish have been pulled out of the River Oder which flows along part of Poland’s border with Germany – as officials warn people not to enter the water.
> German authorities have detected mercury levels beyond the scale of measurements.
> The Polish government was aware of this water poisoning since two weeks as huge numbers of dead fish were first spotted near the southwestern Polish town of Olawa in late July.
