Несмотря на сильный пожар на танкере, который загорелся возле Сочи в Черном море, экологического бедствия ждать не стоит. Об этом заявил эколог Игорь Шкрадюк. Его слова приводит «Ридус».
По словам специалиста, большая часть нефтепродуктов может сгореть на воде. «Волнение разбросало бы их по всему побережью, но в тихую погоду может выгореть до 80–90 процентов объема утечки», — пояснил эколог.
При этом Шкрадюк отметил, что в Черное море вылились десятки тысяч тонн нефтепродуктов, а значит пик экологического ущерба от произошедшего может быть еще впереди.
