The media reported the appearance of toxic foam on the coast of Chennai, India.

Toxic foam covered the coast of Chennai in India after monsoon rains. This was reported by India Today newspaper on October 23, citing experts.

It is specified that the foam formed in a place where rainwater from city canals mixed with water near the mouth of the Adyar River in Pattinambakkam. According to experts, this is the result of mixing heavy chemicals and phosphates, especially from human waste and untreated factory water discharged into the river.

The foam looks completely harmless at first glance, but health authorities warn that prolonged exposure to it can lead to severe skin diseases.

Environmentalists, in turn, are concerned about its impact on the ecosystem. The presence of such a toxic phenomenon will lead to disruption of the breeding cycle and poisoning of marine life.
