Hiker alarmed: poisonous buckets discovered in Schmiedefeld!

On Sunday, June 15th, four hikers made an alarming discovery in a forest area near Schmiedefeld. They found two buckets with a substance marked as poisonous in the protective hut "old potions". This led to a quick mobilization of the local security forces. The hikers immediately informed the police and fire brigade, which resulted in an extensive reaction. A large contingent of 27 emergency services, including firefighters from Schmiedefeld, Vesser and the Suhl professional fire brigade, started to control the Situation.

Dennis Kummer, head of the Suhl fire brigade, confirmed that the substance was clearly labeled and apparently only been unloaded there in the past few days. Fortunately, the liquid had not expired, but the risk was taken seriously by the emergency services. These baren the buckets in protective suits and prepared them for safe disposal. According to thuringia24, the fabrics are handed over and destroyed a folding disposal company. The police are now also involved and has started the origin of the substance.

a not everyday use

The entire mission lasted around two hours, and fortunately the four hikers remained unharmed. However, the origin of the dangerous deposit remains unclear. The situation not only raises questions about the security in the forest, but also with regard to the environmental law aspect of such dangerous substances. In chemical and traffic law, environmentally dangerous substances are defined as substances that can change the nature of water, soil, air, climate, animals, plants or microorganisms. These substances can represent serious dangers for the environment, as described [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umweltgefoch describes)

Especially in times when environmental protection is very important, the discovery of such fabrics is particularly worrying. The question arises as to what happens when such fabrics get into our ecosystems uncontrollably. In the European Convention on the Promotion of Dangerous goods, a special labeling for environmentally hazardous substances is required. In such cases, quick action is more than necessary to avoid possible damage.

A call to vigilance

The entire situation serves as an urgent appeal to all walkers and hikers to be aware of in nature and report suspicious finds immediately. In order to ensure that such events will be better managed in the future, it is important that everyone involved is sensitized and suitable measures are taken to avoid dangerous deposits in nature.

The investigation into the origin of the dangerous substance continues to run, and it is to be hoped that such incidents can be avoided in the future. What is certain is that the protection of our nature and our security is in the top priority.
