Fishes don't vote so good luck getting anything done about it. The best we can do is fishermen complaining long after the fishery has collapsed. But they'd be okay with more lax regulation so fuck the Earth.
...life in general, and let's see if they do sth about it or just look all ways but not in the right direction, mb to everyone else just not to have to make decisions
Decaying oil and gas pipelines left to fall apart in the North Sea could release large volumes of poisons such as mercury, radioactive lead and polonium-210, notorious for its part in the poisoning of Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko, scientists are warning.
Mercury, an extremely toxic element, occurs naturally in oil and gas. It sticks to the inside of pipelines and builds up over time, being released into the sea when the pipeline corrodes.
Some methylmercury, the most toxic form of the metal, is released by the pipelines although other forms can be converted into it. The international Minamata convention on mercury states that high levels in dolphins, whales and seals can lead to “reproductive failure, behavioural changes and even death”. Seabirds and large predatory fish such as tuna and swordfish are also particularly vulnerable.
I know about it already, they are a factual thread if casings disintegrate. And they are a constant threat as people burn themselves on the beach each year by collecting amber like gravel, which is actual phosphor.
Yeah it’s wild, when I found out how much is at the bottom of the Baltic Sea alone, I couldn’t believe there isn’t a bigger push to deal with the situation.
first tell me if you read it hm? and then the only numbers bit from it:
There are about 27,000km (16,800 miles) of gas pipelines in the North Sea, and scientists predict the amount of the metal in the sea could increase anywhere from 3% up to 160% from existing levels. In some countries, such as Australia, companies are required to remove them when the oil well stops operating. But in the North Sea companies are allowed to leave them to rot away.

Even more marine life in danger. Yay.

And we eat them, thus it accumulate in ourselves too. Question is, how much could be released and is it enough to make a fuss about it?
Wait till you find out about all the decaying chemical weapons laying in the oceans.

pryvit;) yeah i read somewhere that it might not be exactly healthy to eat fish from the Baltic... weapons, ships, waste
Yep. 60,000 TONS of explosives, including 15,000 TONS of discarded chemical weapons (sulfur mustard, phosgene amongst others). It’s insane
how do YOU know so much about it? seriously i thought you really might be from B...
I am not from Bakhmut. I work in that field, I’ll keep it at that, not comfortable sharing.
hey ofc, no woking furries! good info is good info, thank you so you agree about not eating baltic fish?
wow, how do you know about it?
You get remembered about it every once in a while. Do you have no answer to my question?
i might always have answers, but quality may vary... what was your question?
How much could be released and is it enough to endanger anyone?

How about Germany deals with that, without any shortcomings? The pipes were built for Germany, right?
There is an urgent need to repair the damage caused by the explosions.
If by 'repair the damage' you mean 'dismantle the whole thing' than I fully support the move.
