Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'Sandoz disaster'

The Sandoz chemical spill of 1986 was a major environmental catastrophe when a warehouse fire at the Sandoz chemical factory near Basel, Switzerland released toxic agrochemicals into the Rhine River. The resulting pollution killed millions of fish and other aquatic organisms across four countries, becoming a watershed moment for European environmental regulations and cross-border pollution management protocols.
