The Moldovan government has introduced an alert mode due to the pollution of the Dniester

The Moldovan government has declared an alert due to pollution of the Dniester River caused by a fuel leak in Ukraine. This was announced on March 15 in the Telegram channel of the Government of the republic.

"The pollution wave continues to move downstream, and in the area of Naslavtsea — Soroka, excess permissible values of petroleum products and aromatic hydrocarbons in the water are recorded," the report says.

It is noted that the alert mode has been introduced for 15 days, which will allow temporary restrictions on the intake and use of water in areas where tests have shown exceeding the permissible values of pollutants. This is necessary to prevent contamination of water supply systems. The alert mode will also allow for the rapid mobilization of additional resources, including the use of property from state reserves.
