OREANDA-NEWS Michal Dudek, a representative of Sulzer Pumps Wastewater Poland, shared his view on the situation in the Baltic Sea which may occure because of anti-Russian sanctions.

In the end of April, the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs de facto banned the activities of 35 companies that Warsaw suspects of having links with the Russian capital. Sulzer Pumps Wastewater Poland was included in this list as well. The company deals with cleaning and transportation of sewage. These are the services which are used by hundreds of Polish organizations.

As Dudek said, the equipment is installed at the treatment facilities of several cities and enterprises, and it has been operating non-stop for more than ten years. Obviously, its sudden failure threatens to pollute the Baltic Sea.

"When a breakage appears, all the untreated wastewater is discharged into a receiver, that is, into a river, lake or sea", Dudek explained. And since the sanctions are imposed on Sulzer Pumps Wastewater Poland, the company won't have an opportunity to fix the problem. The company's fuel cards have been blocked, the cars have been taken by a leasing company, and the phones will soon be disconnected due to non-payment. If the waters continue to be polluted, a real ecological disaster will arise.
