According to environmentalists, the explosion on the Crimean Titan will have dangerous consequences for Lake Sivash. As for Türkiye and Romania, they are probably not in danger.
If an explosion occurs at the Crimean Titan plant in occupied Armyansk, acid accumulators formed for a long time may be affected. The waste collected in them is very harmful. About this review Focus Said Evgeny Khlobystov, expert of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, professor of the Department of Ecology of the Kiev-Mohyla Academy.
While answering a question about the consequences of the explosion, he talks about the accident in which toxic substances leaked on the night of August 23-24 in 2018. That day, people noticed metal parts and a yellow coating that looked like rust. In addition, the leaves on the trees began to turn yellow and fall. More than four thousand local residents, especially children, were evacuated.
“Then, as a result of the explosion, dangerous levels of sulfate acid aerosols were formed in the air, causing corrosion of metal objects and the appearance of dry leaves,” he says.
When inhaled, people may experience a sour taste and heavy breathing. According to the scientist, the cause of the accident was the lack of technical water transmitted through the North Crimean Canal.
“Perhaps there were violations of safety rules and enforcement of technological processes when trying to start production,” he explains. “If you blow up this ratio with a concentration of hazardous waste, a dangerous situation will arise.”
The environmentalist says the explosion on the Crimean Titan will have dangerous consequences for the surrounding ecosystem. Sivash Lake will suffer first. The other states mentioned, Türkiye or Romania, are probably not in danger. If such a poisonous cloud reaches them, it will become airborne so that no one will feel anything.
The GUR Memorandum of Understanding stated that the production processes at the factory were significantly interrupted due to the Russian terrorist attack on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant and the consequent lack of water in the North Crimean Canal. emergency – an artificial man-made disaster, the consequences of which are difficult to predict.
Recall that earlier the head of the Kherson regional military-civil administration Alexander Prokudin reported that the Russians threatened to mine the Crimean Titan plant.
