Ukraine on the Brink: Kalush. Ecological Emergency Zone
During Soviet times, the city of Kalush in Ukraine’s Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast was a center of chemical production. Now, decades after negligent waste management, Kalush is believed to be among the most polluted cities in Europe. The chemicals, a byproduct of the oblast’s potash industry, continue to pose a grave threat to Kalush’s nearly 70,000 inhabitants. And experts worry about what Kalush’s ecological disasters could mean for the rest of Ukraine, including potentially contaminating the Dniester, one of Ukraine’s most vital waterways.
