The Municipality of Dodoni was informed on Thursday about the appearance of large amounts of soap foam over several kilometers, in a tributary of the Tyria river.
After an autopsy, it was found that the phenomenon, which is already decreasing, occurs on the borders of the Prefectures of Ioannina and Thesprotia (the Cities of Dodoni and Souli) and at a time where a few days ago a truck passing Egnatia Road on fire and the Fire Service followed.
The delivery truck, according to information given by Mayor Dodonis, Mr. Christos Dakaletsis from the Fire Service, carrying materials for making soap and detergents. The appropriate report from the company for which the transport was made with all the safety data of the products was sent to the city.
From the fire caused by the vehicle and the subsequent firefighting, part of the material ended up in the stream next to Egnatia.
For further investigation of the phenomenon, said Mayor Dodonis Mr. Christos Dakaletsis contacted the Regional Deputy Governor of Thesprotia, Mr. Thomas Pitoulis immediately engaged his services to carry out the necessary studies and sampling from the waters of the tributary.
