Environmentalists slammed the passing of a controversial law in Poland on the revitalisation of the Oder river, which was hit by toxic algae growth last year that caused mass fish deaths.
Environmentalists have slammed a controversial law passed in Poland to revitalise the Oder river.
A toxic algae bloom hit the river on the Polish border with Germany last summer, with at least 300 tonnes of dead fish pulled from the water as tensions spiked between the two countries. They criticised what they said was a lack of consultation and said that the bill will"not protect the Oder" and will continue to be polluted.
The law allows the building of new infrastructure including the modernisation of sewer systems and constructing new water treatment plants, estimated to cost some 9.5 billion zlotys .
