Natural latex polluted more than a mile of a stretch of the Quxi River in China’s Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, turning it into what was described as a “river of milk,” according to Zhejiang Online news, a leading provincial website.
“Only yesterday, I was doing my laundry in the river, and yet this morning it’s turned completely white, as though somebody poured milk into it,” local Xiao Wu said of the incident, which took place on Monday.
