"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.
"Teške metale, kada se jednom oslobode u vodeni sistem, tokom vremena upiju vodene biljke, koje onda pojedu ribe, a potom se ti materijali talože u lancu ishrane, čime se stvaraju toksične posledice ili zdravstvene posledice po ribe i potencijalno po ljude koji ih jedu", izjavio je on Radiju Slobodna Evropa.
