Indian agrochemicals manufacturer UPL Ltd has applied for permission to flush water contaminated by a toxic pesticides spill in South Africa’s city of Durban directly into the sea or the sewerage system, the company said on Saturday.

The municipal authorities have judged the pesticides which were being contained in a dam that overflowed during devastating floods that struck the eastern port city earlier this month as being “highly toxic to the environment”.

UPL told Reuters in an emailed statement that the “toxicity testing of April 11 showed extremely low levels of marine toxicity, capable of being completely neutralised” by dilution.
