Germany’s Rhine River, as seen at left, is still a tourist’s delight, but its beauty is deceptive. Polluted by more chemical and industrial plants along its banks than any other river in the world, it is dubbed Europe’s majestic sewer. It well symbolizes the deadly tracks of the invisible killer pollution, making appropriate poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s words:
“The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;
But tell me, Nymphs, what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?”
Awake! correspondent in the Federal Republic of Germany tracks down the causes of pollution and provides insight as to what would be involved in solving the problem.
