"Teške metale, kad oni jednom uđu u vodeni sistem, vremenom upiju vodene biljke koje potom pojedu ribe, a onda se ti materijali nakupljaju u lancu prehrane i onda imaju toksične posljedice ili zdravstvene posljedice po ribe, a moguće i ljude koji ih jedu," izjavio je on za Radio Slobodna Evropa/Radio sloboda.
"Heavy metals, once they are released into a water system, are then, over time, taken up by the aquatic plants that are then eaten by the fish, and then the materials build up in the food chain and do then have toxic consequences or health consequences for fish or potentially humans, who are eating them," he told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
