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?

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.

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