Packs of dogs in eastern Russia are inexplicably turning pink and blue.
The bizarre phenomenon occurred in and around the city of Dzerzhinsk, about 242 kilometers east of Moscow, near the abandoned chemical plant in Dzerzhinskoye Orgsteklo, which used to produce extremely toxic hydrocyanic acid, which is also a key ingredient in a once commonly used ‘Prussian’ blue’. dye. Experts believe that these details may help explain why some little ones are now blue door-to-door – according to their veterinarians, according to veterinarians.
Without further details, Dmitry Karelkin, chief physician of the Zoozashchita Veterinary Hospital, officially blamed the blue tint for a ‘chemical’ that apparently did not physically harm the animals.
Meanwhile, examiners from the Lobachevsky Research Institute of Chemistry at the Nizhny Novgorod State University, as well as the State Veterinary Supervision Committee, found ‘no signs of irritating chemical burns’, while results of the blood and stool tests showed no significant toxicity. .
The blue dogs will apparently remain under supervision for about 20 days. According to the news agency East2West, no announcements have been made in the meantime to pay specific attention to pooches that turn pink. However, some are calling for an investigation into a chemical landfill in another area of Dzerzhinsk, where 300,000 tons of toxic waste were dumped after the Cold War. Kristall’s nearby defense plant was also involved in local reports.
East2West reported that city officials call the claims ‘exaggerated’.
