Lab tests caught elevated uranium levels in tap water across multiple towns near Plovdiv, and officials told people to stop drinking or cooking with it immediately. The contamination hit Parvomay, Gradina, Krushevo, and Bolyarino, with readings pushing past the 30-microgram safety threshold that regulations set as the maximum allowable amount per liter.
Parvomay clocked 42 micrograms, while Gradina and Krushevo both exceeded 41 micrograms in samples collected late last month. Health agencies said residents can still use the water for washing and cleaning, but anything involving consumption is off-limits until the situation gets sorted out.
