In addition, more than 1.2 thousand analyzes of fish and seafood from the Black Sea were performed.
"Also, more than 1.1 thousand sea water tests, about 4 thousand soil tests and about 500 tests of ready meals from field kitchens and places of accommodation of the Russian Emergencies Ministry employees and volunteers were carried out. As of today, no exceedances of norms have been recorded, except for oil products in sea water and coastal sand," the agency added.
It is emphasized that the agency continues to monitor the situation in the pollution zone.
