People were shocked when the waters of Venice’s Grand Canal suddenly turned a fluorescent green. The cause was soon discovered to be due to a non-toxic chemical that had been accidentally released into the canal.
The chemical, which is used in many industrial processes, has no harmful effects on humans or animals but can change the color of water when it comes into contact with oxygen. Experts believe that this particular incident was caused by an accidental spillage from a nearby factory or shipyard.
Local authorities have taken steps to contain and clean up any remaining residue from the accident as quickly as possible so that normal operations can resume in Venice’s iconic waterways. In addition, they are also working with local businesses and factories to ensure similar accidents do not happen again in the future.
Residents are relieved that there appears to be no lasting damage done by this unusual event; however, they remain vigilant for any further signs of pollution or contamination within their beloved city’s waterways going forward.
