Environmental testing at a massive, suspected illegal waste dump in Ranskill, Nottinghamshire, has detected 49 toxic chemicals in local water samples, alongside airborne traces of carbon tetrachloride—a volatile compound linked to liver damage and cancer. Footages captured on Friday showed ducks swimming through debris-ridden water as over 55,000 tonnes of untreated commercial waste fester near two local nature reserves. Independent screening commissioned by Sky News also identified thanite, an obsolete pesticide unapproved in the UK for decades. As local residents voice growing fury over potential environmental and health hazards, the UK Environment Agency confirmed a criminal investigation into the site, promising stepped-up enforcement against illegal waste operators. #uk #nottinghamshire #ranskill #environment #toxicwaste #pollution #breakingnews #topnews #usnews #worldnews #wildlife #environmentagency In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay co
