Nobody can tell yet exactly how bad the situation is. All we know is that it is bad.
Contaminated water has flowed already many kilometers downstream. Nearby creeks and lakes are contaminated by toxic nickel.
The beautiful lakes, rivers and creeks – clean freshwater - are the most valuable asset Finns have. You wouldn’t think that we would let somebody poison them. But it happened.

Jon Burgwald, of Greenpeace Denmark on a recent visit to northern Russia’s oilfields:
When you see, smell and taste the air from a massive pool of toxic production water your reaction is not controlled by your mind, but by your instincts. This huge rusted lake of “water” is used in the oil fields then pumped back into a massive pond where it kills everything in its path, until it flows directly into the local river — a river that was once so important for the locals.
The inhumanity and the blatant disregard for the environment and human life, struck me in a way I wouldn’t expect – especially after feeling so mentally prepared. Who does this to their own people, their own land, and their own wildlife?
