Sludge Spill

A breach in an artificial pond that stored toxic residue from a coal power plant run by the state-owned NTPC has contaminated farmland in Madhya Pradesh's Singrauli, villagers have alleged.

Outgoing Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam visited Ennore, outside Chennai, nearly a week after two ships collided at port's anchorage and spilled around 20 tonnes of oil along the coastline.

A massive oil spill caused by the collision of two ships off Chennai last Saturday has been contained, the Coast Guard said today, rejecting speculation that the clean-up had been haphazard and delayed. Hundreds of volunteers, including engineering students and fishermen, are manually collecting sludge in buckets to clear the water and reduce the d...

Nearly a week after the oil spill caused by two ships colliding off Chennai's coast on Saturday, 60 tonnes of sludge has been removed by hundreds of volunteers, including engineering students and coast guard men.

An oil spill caused by two cargo ships colliding near Chennai has affected a 30 km stretch along the coastline and is spreading because of the waves and the strong winds. Close to a thousand workers, including volunteers from engineering colleges and fishermen, are using their bare hands to clear the thick sludge that machines have failed to remov...

As several government agencies are engaged in cleaning up the shoreline following the oil spill after two ships collided near the Kamarajar Port recently, the Coast Guard today said nearly 40 tonnes of oil sludge and 27 tonnes of oil mixed with water were collected so far.

Officials have reported the mighty Danube River is apparently absorbing Hungary's massive toxic red sludge spill with little immediate harm - even though the amount of caustic slurry spewed over the western part of the country was nearly as great as the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.Revising even higher earlier estimates, government officials said the r...
