As Far East regional center of Russian Ministry of Emergency informed the length of pollution zone reaches 200 km.
"More than 100 km of chemical spot has already passed Komsomolsk-Na Amure town", - informed the source.
Analyses of Amur water tests didn`t reveal any exceeding of maximum allowable concentration of nitrobenzene and other chemical substances. While moving, the spot is diluted by river water and concentration of toxic chemical compounds reduces.
