Foam spill of surfactants into Fils River in Bad Ditzingen
Approximately 2,000 liters of liquid surfactants spilled into the Fils River near Bad Ditzingen, creating thick foam and prompting pollution warnings for locals.
A spill of about 2,000 liters of surfactants from a tanker truck into the sewer system led to the Fils River being heavily foamed in Bad Ditzingen. The incident occurred during hose disconnection, releasing the chemicals into the river and wastewater treatment plant. Authorities launched an investigation for suspected water pollution by negligence and advised residents to avoid contact with the river water as a precaution against possible skin irritation, even though diluted substances were deemed generally harmless to humans.
