Swimming in the sea after spilling fuel oil is fraught with burns, the Russian Academy of Sciences warns.

This is reported Crimean wind.

“At the moment it is difficult to predict what the beaches will look like before the end of May - only very brave people can do it if they do not have a material interest in their words. One of the results of cleaning fuel oil and removing contaminated sand will be the change of the beach itself,” said Viktor Danilov-Danilian, scientific head of the Institute of Water Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

If the skin touches a clot of fuel oil, it can lead to burns and allergic reactions, including eczema.

It will take 15-20 years to restore the ecosystem after the fuel oil spill off the coast of Anapa.

The expert advises not to believe tour operators that will lure tourists.
