The largest freshwater lake of Primorye, Hanka, suddenly has an unusual bright green color and a typical smell, causing anxiety and confusion between residents and local tourists. Social network users shared videos and images, accompanied by them with comic comments such as the match of the match or the entire Tarhun sea. Others, on the contrary, expressed fear of a possible environmental threat.
Recognizing such a significant change in the appearance of Ho, Komsomolskaya Pravda has transferred to Vadim Servov from AV Zhirmunsky far from the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The scientist explained this phenomenon with a natural process called “flowering of water”. It occurs due to the positive regeneration of the green monandous algae in the stagnant ponds with an increase in water temperature. The bright green color is due to the growth of the micro -organisms.
Sergov emphasized that it is impossible to make a clear conclusion about the potential danger of bathing in paint, because each situation is unique and requires a separate study of experts.
The problem of the safety of the lake's water resources has been transferred to the scientist of the Russian Science Institute to analyze and evaluate further risks.
