Preliminary assessments suggest that the toxic substance responsible is confined to this specific area.

Consequently, NEPA advises individuals to avoid using the water in this section of the river for domestic or recreational purposes until further notice.

This incident is part of a series of pollution events affecting the Rio Cobre over the years.
