Drugs, insecticides, cosmetics - invisible pollution in our rivers

  • hace 4 años
Madrid, Feb 2, EFE/EPA, (Camera: Pedro Pablo Perez).- Scores of toxic substances from medicines, pesticides, paint, cosmetics and cleaning products have polluted Spain’s rivers, threatening its wildlife. Plastic bottles, cigarette butts, wipes and other debris visibly pollute protected areas but chemical waste also contaminates rivers, streams and lakes. These invisible substances seep into the soil and are the main cause of ocean pollution.
