Toxin-filled barrels found in cave

“I’ve noticed 200 liter barrels at the cave’s entry with the toxic liquid substance that is said to cause cancer,” he said.

“We immediately called police and the republic environmental inspector Emilija Aleksandrov,” he added.

Chemistry expert Dejan Jeremić said that the analysis showed the substance in question was cresol, an organic compound belonging to the group of methylphenols, which was carcinogenic if it got in touch with the skin.

Bor municipality Environmental department chief Ljiljana Lukić Marković said that the barrels were placed in the cave for the purpose of planned construction works, adding that they did not pose a threat to the environment and people.
