Sao Paulo's lake and wildlife dyed blue in accidental spill, authorities investigate impacts

In Brazil, a dye spill accident occurred on Tuesday in Sao Paulo's Jardim das Tulipas neighborhood, approximately 75 kilometers from the central city.

According to authorities, some 5,000 liters of chemical dye spilled after a transport truck crashed, contaminating local streets and entering a nearby creek through a manhole.

The blue dye changed the colors of the waters and ducks in the area, and some fish were found dead in a lake.

Cleanup operations began immediately. However, investigations have begun to assess the environmental impact of the incident.
