Monsters, mutants may emerge in polluted Dnieper

According to Alexander Chistyakov, head of the Association of Fishermen of Ukraine, the marine needlefish and small jellyfish have recently inhabited pools along the Dnieper River. This is the extraordinary anomaly because the marine species that can survive in only saltwater have moved into freshwater.

Not only thoughtless human activity does lead to the pollution of rivers, but freshwater turns increasingly salty in the Dnieper. Therefore, the inhabitants of the sea move there.

Alexander Chistyakov believes that as a consequence of chemical contamination of rivers, all sorts of monsters and mutants may soon crop up in Ukrainian reservoirs. More importantly, however, polluted rivers and lakes pose public health threats.
