There is no evidence of contamination in the Bulgarian Black Sea region
There is no sign of contamination in the Bulgarian Black Sea following the leak from Ukraine's Nova Kakhovka dam. This is based on daily information exchanged between the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Environment and water.
Bulgarian authorities are exchanging information with their Ukrainian, Moldovan and Romanian counterparts on potential contamination of the Black Sea waters. The Black Sea Basin Directorate (BSD) and the Executive Environment Agency (EEA) are also monitoring additional indicators of potential impacts following the incident. Monitoring is also being carried out by the Regional health inspectorate.
Satellite observations and mathematical modelling of water currents in the Black Sea do not currently give cause for concern. If a potential risk is identified, preventive measures will be implemented and the public will be informed in due course.
The data will be updated periodically, in the designatet section "Information on the condition of the sea water on the beaches of the bulgarian seaside".
