Satellite observations show distinct pollution plumes from heavy fuel oil " #mazut 🏭" combustion at major power plants in western and central #Iran. These emissions accumulate over the Tehran–Qom basin, intensifying regional haze and #AirQuality degradation.

1/ 🏴☠️ Exactly one year ago, on December 15, 2024, two #tankers belonging to Russia's #shadowfleet broke apart during a storm and sank in the #Kerch Strait. They were carrying about 9,000 tons of #mazut oil destined for export to India.
The consequences are here ↙️

3/ 💬 The saddest thing is that the last time we heard about any steps to solve the main problem — the removal of 2-3 thousand tons of #mazut from the sunken wreckage of the #tankers — was on September 5.
1/ 🤡 On Sep.19, the Krasnodar Region Operational Headquarters and a government commission reported on the completion of work to collect settled #mazut from the bottom of the #BlackSea in the Anapa coastal zone.
UWEC expert Evgeny Simonov explained why the problem is far from being solved: ⬇️⬇️
🛰️ Images taken in July show ongoing pollution of the #Kerch Strait with #mazut. It's likely to have come from tankers that sank in December 2024, according to kedr.media
UWEC has already reported on the scale of the #disaster and its consequences: uwecworkgroup.info/military-oil...

#Ukraine has appealed to many international bodies to establish control over the cleanup of the #mazut spill in the #Kerch Strait but no significant assistance has been forthcoming.
Meanwhile, #Russia regularly receives international cleanup assistance: uwecworkgroup.info/internationa...

1/🤦♂️In October 2024, two months before the #mazut spill in the #Kerch Strait, Russian officials conducted a full-scale oil spill prevention and response exercise that was believed to have been successful.

Authorities say there is no oil leak risk, and the ship has been cordoned off.
Earlier today, on the opposite end of #Russia, on #Sakhalin, a #Chinese oil tanker carrying diesel, #mazut, and coal ran aground.

Fuel oil is killing almost all the living creatures on the bottom of the #BlackSea in the area where the tanker sank.
Hundreds of thousands of #crabs, #jellyfish & mollusks have died in the dangerous #Mazut.
The underwater world and sand will take at least 10 years to recover.
#Mazut has also reached the coasts of #Russian-occupied #Crimea, #Russian Telegram channels report.
Allegedly, oil sludge mixed with seaweed washed up in #Kerch.

The #Russians are not only war criminals but also #environmental criminals.
The 🛢️ that was in the now decommissioned old #Russian tankers is called #Mazut & is now effectively killing life in the #BlackSea.
"He's covered in fuel oil. Completely."
Fuel oil is killing #dolphins 🐬 in #KrasnodarKrai.
So far, #mazut hasn't leaked into the sea. It's unclear whether another environmental disaster can be avoided.
#ukraine #putinisamasskiller #putinisawarcriminal @kardinal691
"So the 3rd tanker didn't sink?"
#Russian Telegram channels report that a third #Volgoneft vessel carrying 4,000 tons of #mazut has reported leaking in one of the tanks.
