River near Buenos Aires turns red after suspected toxic leak

The article reports on a series of incidents involving a small river, known as the Sarand, located on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The river has turned a deep red color, sparking fears of toxic leaks and industrial pollution. According to local residents, a strong nauseating smell was coming off the water. The color change is thought to have been caused by a leak of dye from a nearby factory, although other theories, such as illegal chemical dumping by factories in the area, are also being considered. The Sarand stream is home to tanneries and other industries that use chemicals to transform animal skins into leather. Drone footage and pictures have captured the unusual reddish color of the waterway, which has spread quickly on social media.
