They further believe that most people are not sufficiently informed about these dangers or, if they are, they tend to underestimate them.
“If an industrial company released such quantities of hazardous substances, it would face legal proceedings and their closure“, said Petr Kluson, of the Institute of Chemical Processes of the Academy of Sciences.
