CHEMICAL SPILL ON THE SOČA RIVER, SLOVENIA, APRIL 2022
If a kayaker doesn't pay for parking in the Soča Valley, they get fined. But if a factory spills 10 tons of chemicals in the river, apparently, there are no repercussions.
On April 21, the Belgium-owned factory TKK spilled 10 tons of an unknown substance into the Soča River, causing the otherwise clear, turguoise water to foam and froth for two days before heavy rains flushed the toxins into the Adriatic Sea. TKK produces cement and paint products. Their factory is located between the towns of Kobarid and Bovec above the Kreda pool
