Emergency Minister of Ukraine Nestor Shufrych stated that sulphur, leaked from sank ships as a result of heavy storm, is not dangerous.
According to the Emergency Ministry, Shufrych said that according to the data of ecologists, concentrate of sulphur in the sea water is dangerous in proportion 3.5 g per 1 litre. Now concentrate does not exceed 1.5 g per 1 litre, so the volume of sulphur in the sea does not have any danger.
