WARSAW - Tonnes of dead fish have been hauled out of the River Oder, which flows along part of Poland's border with Germany, and officials warned people not to enter the water while the Polish government pledged to investigate possible contamination.
Environmental authorities said they notified prosecutors about potential contamination of the country's second longest river. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki vowed to punish those responsible. Regional environmental protection authorities in Wroclaw said Oder water samples taken on July 28 showed an 80 per cent probability that they contained mesitylene, a toxic substance, although this was not present in samples taken after Aug 1.
