Pyridine found in crabs

the fishermen have been telling us that all year - toxic levels were found in crustaceans - but the cover up had commenced.


So they (insert names of tory politicians and mayors) lied to Teesside and all the fish industry along the NE coast - their Teesworks website said “states dredging and chemical pollution – including pyridine – were highly unlikely to be the cause.”




Pyridine is not abundant in nature except for the leaves and roots of Belladonna and in Marshmallow. It’s a product of the agrochemical manufacturing process.

The dredging is releasing pyridine from the sediment which is killing all the marine life.

Extinction Rebellion!
 
Was it not used in the labs of the steel cos ?

....... and god knows what they dumped on the spare land, let alone the Tees which had all fallen to the bottom until they want another 10 m or so off the bottom of the river and then lo and behold all the waste products appear again
 
There´s the likelihood of more jobs cleaning the place up than there is from the Tories fanciful “Freeport’s” b@ll@cks!

Serious question…….as they’ve already poisoned the area and set it back years would it be better to carry on and clean as much of it out or would this just compound the pollution rendering the Tees Bay dead for years.

Interesting report. The area identified as dodgy in the licensing document is just upstream of the Slems outflow which was the water discharge from Lackenby. This covered the mills and steel plant. Bear in mind that as the river is tidal stuff will have been carried both upstream and downstream.
The Slems name was actually pretty old and lost in the mists of time but was laughingly turned into an acronym by the British Steel Environment Dept. ............... Solid & Liquid Effluent Management System. It was as disgusting as it sounds.
This satellite image from around 2000 shows it 'beautifully' with a plume of surface oil going down river, probably from the mills, we usually got the blame.:rolleyes:

There are a few oil slick booms across the stream. Full of pollution when I was next to it recently.

The story about it being due to algal blooms was a poor excuse (although possible) and was a clear cover up.

This new claim is interesting and certainly is a possibility though. However, this new investigation was crowdfunded by the fishermen and the report has yet to be peer reviewed.

If the new claim proves to be correct then the government and DEFRA have some questions to answer.

Come on what about the real cause of all this no not the bloom or the long burried chemicals

no the real culprits

The Russian subs.

You've nailed it. A Russki sub sneaking up the Tees would disturb the sediment and release the toxins. Why would the Russkis be sneaking up the Tees? It's obvious. Trying to steal the original Parmo recipe. Can you imagine the propaganda coup for Putin? The UK would be in turmoil. :whistle:
