As a reminder, on September 22, in the Obolon district of Kyiv, the Obolon tract was noticed to be covered with a light turquoise layer of pollution.
The videos filmed by local residents show how the Obolon tract has a characteristic pollution on the Dnipro bank that stretches along the tract's shoreline. The turquoise-colored pollution also spread to the vegetation of the coastal area.
