- Environmental groups in Germany are calling it an ecological disaster. Thousands of fish have washed up dead along the Oder River, which runs along Germany's eastern border and then flows into Poland. Lifeless and sick fish have been present in the Oder since the end of July, over a distance of several hundred kilometers. Officials think it's likely they have been poisoned.

They should make the CEOs of the chemical companies swim in the river for a few hours as punishment
You would need to have proof that they did it plus there many people who throw away bottles and garbage in the rivers
Заставьте сначала США уничтожить химическое оружие, как это сделала Россия, по договору... не, реально смешно, США заявило, что у них нет финансовой возможности уничтожить свое химическое оружие, и это у 1 экономики мира!!! Денег нет))))))))
@@Uniqodro one thing to this budapest memarandum.
@@spirowsckroll9458 It's not that difficult to find proof. They should've taken water samples everywhere upstream, downstream and near the chemical plant.
Garbage and empty bottles don't kill millions upon millions of fish, just the odd unlucky one here and there that gets caught up in a fish line or plastic bag.
@@Uniqodro you peace of 💩 You’re bombing Ukrainians with white phosphorus bombs which is a chemical weapon. The audacity of you people…

My heart breaks seeing that fish gasping for oxygen...and knowing all the rest of them that lay there, had to endure the same fate as him.
Humans do more harm than good. I'm so grateful for anyone who loves nature and tries their best to preserve and protect it.
Wow. Why don't Humans of Earth think chemicals in the air we inhale are also deadly? How many children have asthma?
@@Diana1000Smiles We humans?
We do.
What are you and what planet do you come from?

Sorry, the way you worded your questions sounded like you didn't include yourself lol.
Our species is poison. :(
Ther was more oxygen in water than ususal. This fish was not grasping for anything. But yeah its a tragedy
im polish and ive personally shat in the river
Didn’t tell their neighbours. What sort of neighbour is that.
Chemicals that cause problems with fish are often impossible to distinguish from the natural bio-matter in the river without a specific test for each particular molecule, which makes monitoring for industrial pollution from plastic industries extremely hard.
My Dad's a marine biologist who studies Salmon in the USA, and there was a study that just confirmed two years ago that a neurological disease that we used to think was an epidemic of some pathogen is actually caused by 6PPD-quinone, the antioxidant that keeps modern tires from oxidizing in the air and cracking for a few decades.
It just washes off the roads into the streams, all over the world.
If I had the power to do so, I'd forbid those tyres.
Whoa! Salmon have a hard life as it is!

That happened in Quebec a decade ago and it was caused by the pork farmers polluting like pigs

If that's what happened here and given the trend towards healthier and more ecofriendly nutrition and therefore less pork...
Good luck keeping your farms, guys. You'll deserve what'll be coming to you
In Bretagne (and Normandie as well, I believe), they've had multiple blooms of cyanobacteria caused by pig farming. They had put too much manure on their fields, which drained into the Channel.
@@rippspeck I was swimming in milky water and tons o dead fishes floating around and I couldn’t take it so I got out of the Lake right away.
That was Lac Champlain that belongs to USA and Canada Quebec.
I love nature and fishing this is truly saddening. I spent 3 years in Augsburg Germany in the mid 70's and will never forget the beauty of the region.
The place where I work in Rhineland-Palatia, a former mayor decided to drain the water of a field that was flooded - into a nature conserve, an oxbow of the Rhine. A lot of fish suffocated. This was a real desaster. A doctor from a nearby university called it reprehensible and he was fined for this decision and action.
This just tells what kind fo people become mayors. Definitely not the good ones but those who want power.
What a sad time to live on this beautiful planet!
This is the LAST era of us living on this beautiful planet. I am pretty much certain of that.

The businesses responsible are owned the by the same Establishment Elite who own the media companies, and also run the puppets acting as government officials in both Poland AND Germany.
Nothing will come of this, except a handful of settlements out of court to the most affected or most vocal.

Or , if God isn't available right now, perhaps we should do it for him?
No. Better to just pray. Then nothing will ever change, and we can live in hope until it's us that are poisoned.
Remarkable in a new epoch where all that potential food just might be needed is now dead or beyond reach from poison for years to come. Times of Contempt are upon us.

I am really amazed but that expert that said he never saw so many dead fish and that they are smelling bad. You could just put a random person without education to state that
This is what you get when politicians are controlled by CEOs.
Exchanging huge profits for environmental sustainance.
Sad these fish had to go through this 😥
RIP dear fishies. So sad.
Well they can kiss thier money while they starve to death
You would need to show that the CEOs knowingly did this. It could have been that they were doing everything more or less by the book and still there was an accident.
@@unconventionalideas5683 then why cover it up?
Polluters pay principle. The company must be forced to pay for the environmental damage and ecosystem!
I disagree, we cannot put a price on environmental disasters. Because then they will incorporate costs and still pollute as they will be able to pay
Man They should be hang for that.
Nonsense. Every Earthling on the Planet (and apparently some already in "heaven") (🤗) are personally responsible for Climate Change. Everyone.
Money won't recover environment
@@povarful I disagree, you need to contract environmental research to determine where this started and why, that costs money. It's possible that the Wars have had an environmental impact, look at all those missiles that have been destroying the land, over 2,000 missiles have destroyed buildings, land, water, factories that are built from a variety of building materials, factories, it could, quite literally be thousands of possibilities, even a nuclear sites damaged by artillery, who knows what else has been destroyed which has contaminated the environment.
It's just the catchment refilling after a dry spell.
Happens all the time here in Australia during or after summer.
The entire river is riddled with dams, canals etc that get closed off as the water level drops.
The water that remains trapped by infrastructure deoxygenates and sits stagnant until the next lot of rains arrive.
Because the catchment doesn't refill uniformly, that deoxygenated water is gradually released along the entire length of the river in massive clouds that travel downstream suffocating anything that gets caught in them for too long which is to say most things.
Chemical companies need to be given full punishment of the law maximum fine of it they need to pay
There is nothing that strikes one in the heart and soul more than seeing Mother Nature on the run.
Mother Earth is great, Capitalists are the problem.
No "Mystery" here. Polish authorities knowed it since two weeks. The river washed the pollution now to germany and it appears in the news. EU should stop all payments to poland, they not deserve even a cent with this corrupt, disfunctional state.

Hope Poland does not behave like China.
@Sunny bob Quackers the river flows through Poland not Russia. And Poland is against Russia in the ongoing war.
@Sunny bob Quackers based on your comments, you sound to never have entered any school gate 🤣🤣🤣. Chill bro. If you can't argue as a educated person, you start calling out personally huh.
The river is dead and the toxin is making its way to the Baltic sea as we speak. We need an all out international response now !
Measures are in place, polish government ignored it.
Strange times we're living in and it's going to get worse...
Unbelievable, it's so sad to hear this.
Industries use rivers as sewers. In the USA the Ohio river caught fire, true.
That would likely be the Cuyahoga river in Cleveland.
It was on fire over a dozen times during the industrial push of the 20th century.
Many rivers in the US used to catch fire regularly
@@Automedon2 And Nixon started the EPA...
Probably 95% of that industry has gone the way of the rest of the rust belt.
I doubt I'd want to swim in it, even today.
Chemical plants were relocated to the upper reaches of the Oder during World War Two. I would not discount chemical leaching through the soil to the river from an old industrial site on the riverbank upstream near Breslau somewhere. Something worth checking out nonetheless to prevent future contamination.
well, the thing is the spill is thought to have originated further up river near Opole not Wroclaw (the name of the city is Wrocław not Breslau)
@@moscuadelendaest That's right Wroclaw, I was just lazy with the Polish spelling. Not that it doesn't get confusing there in Frankfurt am Rhine and Frankfurt am Oder. Apparently there is two towns that go by the name Priekule in Lithuania also. Could be a plot to confuse postal workers.
"For some reason they didn't notify the population or German authorities" - I can tell you the reason! They should be put in front of the ICC for this!
Test the water, make autopsies on them fish, these fish autopsies may prove crucial as some chemicals won't be directly detectable due to breaking down or otherwise decaying resulting in only being indirectly detectable by their side effects on the fishes bodies.
It is crucial to do these things:
- Water testing at multiple locations up-stream and down-stream!
- Fish autopsies at the same locations!
Humans have autopsies, animals have necropsies.

@@asha8443 Mate we know you need to go read a book not being able to make a sentence bigger than 5 words

just like they found jack the ripper.
@@Enrico_Palazzo_opera_singer Was more than likely a member of the aristocracy
A massive investigation is needed to establish facts. Also, what antidote (if any) can be added to the river to neutralize (or at least lesson) the poison.
Lol antidote? This is not a Harry Potter movie
Nie is top late...
"Massive investigation"? Take some Water samples, analyze the chemicals, then get on with the work of fixing Earth's environment.
@@Diana1000Smiles investigation to determine who polluted water.
It was to sudden for gradual pollution from factories or sumer oxygen deficiency, someone must have dumped thousands liters of chemicals into the river.
take one billion from poland for clean up
The VERY last thing humanity needs is more water pollution, or water being rendered useless/waste. IT'S A WORLDWIDE DROUGHT. Super important to start preserving absolutely every drop. Seriously.
2023-2026 aren't going to be good years for humanity. As if 2019-2022 were. 🙄
It's not that bad. I only drink coke so as long as the water is clean enough to wash in it's fine by me. I don't like fish, they disgust me.
@@chucknutly3290 that's an ignorant response, these situations have a domino effect and it's not just fish it is the water, where does the water come from and where does it go? Into our bodies in one way or another maybe by the cattle; cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, insects there's so many examples but hey coke will kill you in the end so what does it matter, who cares right?!
Reservoir of drinking water must first be under watchful eyes and surveillance. Safety measures must be in place immediately.
You would think that "documenting" a mass fish die-off would include take water samples to figure out why it happened.
They did take samples. Apparently Mercury levels were off the scale...
@@grnhy german news just said no mercury has been found.
@@Enrico_Palazzo_opera_singer that's good news
Why would the government in Poland not say a word about this issue and risk the lives of people that are used to fishing and consuming fish in that region or such that enjoy taking a bath in the river? Doesnt Poland have scientists that could foresee that disaster continuing down the river ?
Some company already '
ve got some ticked for puring some chemicals to Odra- 100 euro 😆. Typical in Poland. This joke not punishent
dozens of reasons , corruption most likely
Says a lot about the poles
@@asha8443 Don't generalize.
Their government is corrupt and fascist
At what point in the river does the fish die-off start? Maybe that would indicate the origin of whatever is causing this.
The Polish government right now - in polish media accusing the German government of NOT TAKING ACTION!! Unfortunately, the current Polish government never will find out what happens and why who is responsible - they corrupt to the bottom. The whole river - 800 kilometres is dead and may never recover. Is tragedy!! especially now when every single drop of water is a treasure :-(
any drop of that river was never ever something I'd dare to touch but this now is just above and beyond careless
yeah, but probably private company created this problem, not whole country. one single mistake
I have no words for my goverment first interview with chairman responsible for Polish (he got fired) water agency said that is several fish not big deal but fishermans already take ton of dead fish. His vice-chairman said that he could swim in water but he must change clothes (we still waiting). Goverment wants turn down case because was worry for losing support amongs voters. Now They concentrate to reminds old river tragedy from last goverment.
Polish media which are under control of government, others says the truth.

Interestingly enough, in your case it's supposedly oxygen deprivation whereas here there have been detected higher than normal levels of oxygen.

Now only enemy of the earth is human...

I live in the state of Maine and a captain aboard a commercial fishing boat for 40 years,, I have witnessed the rivers going to the Atlantic Ocean dying off, many paper mills have been decommissioned before the 90's, but now Atlantic salmon is extinct in our rivers, I believe that chemicals like chlorine, andhousehold products, coming from on site sewers or personal septic systems, eventually sift through the ground water and reach the rivers, we don't have the natural organisms which were present in the 80's and prior, that were part of our natural eco, system,, the bleach and cleaning agents have essentially cleansed our rivers
As you see, the Oder-river wasn't dead by far before this happened.
Otherwise, there would not appear so many dead fishes on its surface now.
What is the water temperature? The fish shown looks as if it was suffocating. This happens near my home at the lake. When the water gets too warm it can't hold oxygen.
That would make sense
because its true behind this all speculations what most people start pooling from hat . "They said in radio that due to drought the level of water in river was low and the level of saltiness in the river was too high and made all the fish die."
The investigation is still running in Poland, but Oxygen level in Odra river is measured high. Also there is no mercury or other heavy metals in died fishes. In 27th of July lab found in some samples a mezytylen in water, but on 1st of August it was gone. Now in other region, in Ner river, is the same situation, which become even bigger mystery.
@@thorm6852 they need to go to place where was first observer this dead fish sign and check there . Hope soon they will find out what happened ;/ This is disaster not only for fish but also for people ..Farmers and birds , animals who drink this water ..
then why is it only this one river?
Might not be in Poland could be from Czech but still started they believe from olowa is a company that produces chemical like lead not mercury I’m thinking coal as polish coal has mercury
Pollution started in poland
Backwards Poland dumping chemicals in the river likes it still the 1800s.
Something smells fishy to me.
Poland needs to be hold accountable for this, which factory released their waist in the River, they need to PAY UP!
First Germany pay WW2 reparations that never pay to Poland for 6 million murdered people and destroyed cities and villages and clean their bombs and gases from bottom of Baltic.
As a former resident of Poland it's embarassing that a disaster of this magnitude has been covered up by Polish authorities. The incompetence and corruption of the old communist ways is alive and well today. They should be punished severely.
How utterly depressing! 😢
How very sad!
The shallower the water, the warmer the water resulting in what you see.
The cause of this is greed and ignorance.
A low amount of water by drought and high temperatures in summer causes a lack of oxygen in the water. Fishes could be dying because of oxygen deficiency.
what you described had happened in the past and it was taken into consideration, however such case is far less severe than what happened here. The fish found in the water had burned gills. IT is most likely low level of water + contamination increase. water ph is similar to the one in a soap.
Australia has had fish kills in droughts when the water gets low and hot. The obsession to clear willows that shaded the water does not help, no shelters at the edges. Shocked about the tyres. The old horse and cart didn’t do that. Places on UA-cam like Azerbaijan rural areas are so much cleaner.
By now, dead birds and bievers have been found. So no, propably not drout-releated.
But that wouldn't explain dead beavers and dogs, if that info is correct. Would it?
In this case you had an overabundance of oxygen detected.
This is simply another example that industry and agriculture do not pay the full price/cost of their actions. We treat the rivers like drains expecting nature to foot the bill. In a normal year nature dilutes all these chemicals to safer levels with rainfall and run-off.
This year is not a normal year. Rainfall and run--off are reduced so therefore dilution is reduced; if the level of pollution remains the same then the concentration of toxic chemicals increases to crisis levels. This is not rocket science this is greed and financial self interest. What else do expect?
Humans beings are living above their means, this can only go on for so long.
Personally, I totally expect Humans are an endangered species on Earth. Climate has changed, and Humans just keep ignoring Science and are getting sicker every day.
@@Diana1000Smiles 300 years ago when natures infrastructure was still in place, if mankind with the technology we have now was very very careful it might have been possible for the planet to support roughly 1 billion people sustainably for millennia.

Its God's punisment. First He give you drought,2nd He took your Natural food stock.
Why did they say the river flows on the border and the into Poland, it’s exactly the opposite! It starts in Czech Republic, flows to Poland than becomes a border between two countries making it at least equally a polish river.. so weird of DW to narrate it that way
Actually it doesnt start in poland….
@@daytodaylivin4418 ok, fair point
The river Oder now has an oder.
I can smell the terrible Oder from here!
Very possibly low oxygen caused by high temperatures combined with algae stimulating chemicals in water causing algae bloom then die-off when temperatures rise. I witnessed this cycle repeat every year in a lake in southern California. Only started when plant fertilizer from homes built near the lake combined with rising average temperatures. This on the Oder looks exactly the same.
Plant fertilizer? Lake Winnipeg (10th largest lake) is currently dying. For years the Greens said plant fertilizer was the culprit. The City of Winnipeg however were forced to reveal it was human waste. Cost about 3 billion to fix. We'd have to cut all the Green subsidies Nationally to pay for this. IT"S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. This lake will die. 50 million a year in pickerel gone.
@@haraldkoch4446 plant fertilizer - human waste. Same thing. Half a dozen of one - six of the other. Same effect. Over stimulation of flora.
Yep, Lake Elsinore gets pretty horrific
When did you ever see this happening in a river before the surrounding lakes? That seems very unlikely.
@@tobiasc4559 Depends if there are fish in the lakes; what kinds of fish, how deep the lakes are. If a lake is deep enough water below a certain depth may not be effected. And in the example I witnessed, the lake was surrounded by new housing with owners watering and feeding their lawns which ran downhill into the lake.
The culprits should be punished by any how.....
they should eat the fish.
if thats on purpose there should be a death penalty for all involved

Everything looks like that pis govt knew about that or even more, they are part of this scandal. Hope that the river will restore soon.
They said in radio that due to drought the level of water in river was low and the level of saltiness in the river was too high and made all the fish die.
It amuses me how these media houses go to 3rd world countries to make documantery about pollution but the same media houses failed to report the same from their own country. Timely report on river pollution could have averted this level of catastroph.
This is the only channel that mention the polish industrial disaster no one else mentioned it

@CAESAR AUGVSTVS I'm afraid the poop is a little Mickey😀The Germans have a lot of chemical factories, they probably let Zyklon B into the river🤣🤣
Your hot weather is causing algae growth as the water warms, reducing oxygen levels, the fish drown.
Historically significant
Polish party Law & Justice can angry not only Poles. New achievement.
This is a Crime possible commited on three EU Countries. We need a European Police Investigation with full authority and not seperate national kindergartens.
German prosecutor, authorities, please put our government in a jail, all of them. They are maniacs. incompetent, selfish and now dangerous also. What they have done to Poland in the last years makes me literally cry.
Nope. They were killed by lack of oxygen. Hot water contains less oxygen. When a fish gets low on oxygen, it doesn't breath heavy, it swims faster. This depletes the limited oxygen faster. They suffocate.
Fish aren't that dumb.
So beavers and storks were also killed by your "lack of oxygen in the water"? Btw, they found higher than normal amounts of oxygen in the water.
Chemicals concentration changes as the water volume of the rivers shrink.
This needs international response!
Usually i would have said that the company which released the toxins is liable, but as Poland did not see it necessary to inform anyone outside of poland, i would say the nation is liable too. Groundwater polution, fish and other animals which are effected and any people who get sick by this are in their responsibility and they need to pay for their care.
As we haven't had already enough problems and especially water should be of our highest priority.
Poland needs to step up their environmental protection!
What about the Governments of the World "stepping up" their fights against annihilation of all Earthlings due to Climate catastrophe?
@@Diana1000Smiles whataboutism really? How about one problem at a time and for that we need to identify it first. As said in this vid, climate change or say the heatwave was first thought to be the cause. Meanwhile the polish government points towards a company who released toxins into the river.
So this is about protection from companies poluting the environment. Something which can not be ignored while trying to avoid or lower the effects of climate change.
They knew about that for 2 weeks, but didn't tell anybody inside the country.

Lack of oxygen due to turnover may be the cause. It's the phenomenon that happens in the summer when the water level of the river is low, the water temperature at the bottom becomes higher than the surface, and the two are replaced.
They found mercury, didnt they??
Its not, I saw the news in Poland and one fisherman said that he put his hand by accident into river and they showed his hand which was all red with a lot of burinings. Additionally I was near Oder and it had rly strange smell.
