Ohio Fish Die After Fertilizer Spill | Toledo News

Twenty thousand fish from the Maumee River in Ohio have died after a fertilizer spill in Huston Creek washed into the water during heavy rain. Though the city’s drinking water remains safe, the ammonia from the spill depleted oxygen, causing mass suffocation. Cleanup efforts are underway, aided by rain that diluted toxins, while backup water sources are being used to reassure residents. The Ohio EPA oversees the response as officials stress the fragility of ecosystems and the speed at which environmental disasters can unfold.
