Footage shot on April 24, 2022, shows polluted foam spread across areas surrounding the Bojaca River in Mosquera, a municipality just west of Colombia’s capital Bogota.Photos from a Columbian city near Bogota show how a foul-smelling, massive layer of toxic foam is plaguing residents as it breaks apart into cloud-like fragments and drifts through the streets.
"The smell is terrible – we’ve had to put up with this foam for a long time," community leader Luz Mariela Gómez told local television channels, according. "We’re running a risk. Someone could fall down there and we won’t be able to find them." The foam is usually created when a narrowing of the river or a bridge creates turbulence in the contaminated water, said Luis Alejandro Camacho Botero, an expert on environmental hydraulics at the University of the Andes.
