In Rybinsk, toxic “clouds” floated along the Volga

Residents of Rybinsk complained of severe pollution of the Volga in the city, near the village of Perebary.

Fishermen from boats photographed floating on the water surface layers of white foam, similar to soap. There were so many pieces of foam floating on the surface of the water that they resembled a spring icebreaker.

As the authors of the video specified, the foam exuded a strong stench. And around it on the surface of the water was a thick film of petroleum products.

What origin these foam and film had is not known.
