Apa de la robinet nu mai poate fi băută într-un oraș din Norvegia. Ce au descoperit cercetătorii în sursa de apă a localnicilor

Residents of Longyearbyen, Norway, have been advised against drinking tap water due to contamination concerns linked to climate change. The town, experiencing rapid warming, faces issues with permafrost thawing, which releases harmful minerals like manganese into the water supply. Authorities have implemented emergency measures, providing purified water from a central reservoir, but the situation has disrupted daily life. Investigations into long-term solutions are underway, including potential filtration systems and desalination options, though these are costly and technically challenging. This case highlights broader implications of climate change on freshwater sources in Arctic communities.
