Contaminated
The Jan van Riebeeck Haven is a zijhaven on the south side of the North Sea, just west of the Coentunnel. The contamination with toxic substances (dioxins) and chemical waste (PCB) is partly caused by an accident at Philips Duphar in 1963. This pesticide plant exploded when a machine. This revealed dioxin Fri Many of these dioxins were justified in the North Sea. The discharges to the canal took place in 1969, also contributed to the contamination at. With current knowledge, more understanding of the risks of toxins. This has led to the preparation for a clean start.
In the study area is in some places an excessive level of dioxins found (in the photo shown in blue). In animals in this field may 'poisoned' created. By poisoning occurs when a living being (organism) other organisms that eat toxic substances. Think of a fish eat worms, where the toxins accumulate slowly in the fish. There is also increased risk of mortality among animals that live in the sediment (such as shrimp and worms) and in contact with toxic substances.
