Hungary is not the most high tech country,but in situations like this you can be sure that the teams on field involved in the rescue and cleaning are equipped with best available equipment.

I did wonder, these kinda things do surface during these times, that's why I said that the confidence is medium.
If this thing is going to get into waterways, the countries who need to be, and are, looking out are Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania, but I imagine by the time it gets to the Black Sea it'll be pretty diluted.

I've no idea....why don't you enlighten us all.

Betanov has alreadty spelt it out.
If Italy had a similar spill in Milan should Switzerland be worried about the approaching spill or would the spill be going in the opposite direction and be of no concern even though it is in a neighbouring country?

Yes,and it's sad that some media like these kind of rumors and publish them as facts.

It has been neutralized and diluted,and the water quality of the Danube is as it was before the accident.

A new dam has been built,because new cracks appeared on the wall of the reservoir and it will probably collapse.

Opposite direction I think...the Po river, which I think is the primary river in the region of Milan, flows out to the Adriatic from the Western Alps...in fact, I do not believe that it actually leaves Italy. Therefore any toxic spill in the Po or a tributary leading to the Po would be an internal problem of Italy until it reached the Adriatic. Of course, the strength of the spill by the time it reached the Adriatic would be determined by a lot of factors and monitoring stations along the river would take samples constantly to measure it.
Once out at sea though...one would presume, although I'm not a scientist, that it would diffuse in the water.

Latest situation at the dam:


Its getting pretty desperate, as an estimated 2.5 million cubic metres of the sludge is left, and its threatening to breach the wall.
