This American in the Netherlands eyes his filthy canals with envy of the Danes.
- teekert 2y agoYeah, in my city it's not that bad in the canals, but we have PFAS and GenX thanx to Chemours, down south we have 3M from Belgium dumping PFAS. Other rivers have crap from Germany. They say: You can swim, it's not that bad, but eat 1-2 fish from said river and you're over the max your body could (theoretically) safely ingest for a year.
- yurishimo 2y agoI just moved to a Dutch city with a large canal and I'm definitely jealous that you can't swim in it! Luckily we have a lot of small recreational lakes that are clean and have other accessories for swimming.
