The water of a canal flowing in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina, suddenly turned red, causing concern among locals.
According to foreign media reports, the unexpected change in the canal’s water color has raised alarm among residents. Local media suggests that the possible cause could be the dumping of textile dye or chemical waste from a nearby depot into the canal.
Argentina’s Ministry of Environment has taken water samples from the canal for testing, stating that the exact reason behind the color change will be determined after analysis.
Images and videos circulating on social media show the red water flowing through the canal. Meanwhile, locals claim that nearby textile companies frequently dispose of toxic waste into the canal, leading to health issues in the community.
