Vertidos tóxicos en planta de yogur en Ohio

Que creeis que pensaría un señor ingeniero que tuviese que ir un día de estos a una planta de yogures en Ohio a montar un sistema de limpieza de equipos, cuando leyese lo que se hace con los productos de limpieza que él ha gestionado:

"Dannon plant releases cleaning solution, dairy products into canal
Thu, Sep. 15, 2005
MINSTER, Ohio - A yogurt factory discharged 4,000 gallons of cleaning solution and dairy products into the Miami and Erie Canal in western Ohio, killing fish and overwhelming this village's wastewater treatment plant.
The spill, discovered Monday at Dannon Co., killed at least 8,000 bass, carp and other fish in a stretch of canal about two miles long, said Joel Buddelmeyer, an investigator for the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
The cleaning solution knocked out the factory's system for pretreating waste during the weekend. Dannon immediately stopped production after the spill was detected, said spokesman Michael Neuwirth.
The Dannon factory pumps out three million cups of yogurt daily, or about two-thirds of all the yogurt sold in the United States.
Minster's wastewater treatment plant was working to resume treating sewage after the spill killed most of the bacteria that digest waste, said Dan Haehn, superintendent of water and wastewater treatment.
The treatment plant has brought in 17,000 gallons of sludge from a nearby village to try to increase bacteria levels.
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency spokeswoman Dina Pierce said the plant should be able to meet Clean Water Act requirements for treating sewage within the next few days.
The village of 2,800 people is about 45 miles north of Dayton."
