A amber of a similar phosphorus-boulder has injured a 28-Year-old at the Steinhuder Meer is difficult. The pedestrian’ve read the supposed amber out of the water and into the jacket pocket, said the head of the Department of environment of the Region of Hannover, Sonja Papenfuß, on Monday in Mardorf.
This inflamed the woman suffered second-degree burns and came out for a night at the Hannover Medical school. Life-threatening to hurt you, don’t be. White phosphorus comes from incendiary bombs – a legacy from the Second world war.
the beach at lake steinhude after incident locked
The Region of Hannover was as the owner on late Sunday evening in the meantime, the surf beach, the beach on the North shore and the bathing island in Steinhude lock. On Monday morning, the lockdown was partially, early in the afternoon, and then repealed entirely, as Papenfuß said. Instead, warnings were established. On the beach and in the water as no stones should be collected, visitors should pay attention to children.
but, As phosphorus comes into the lake-Steinhuder Meer? Papenfuß explained that already earlier there had been there phosphorus finds. It was Munitions from the Second world war. Not to be an accident such as this, but so far, even if the Munitions are known. Fully explain the whereabouts of the explosive Remnants do not leave but also shot a plane lying still in the lake. Benjamin Gleue, coordinator and spokesperson of the city of Neustadt am Rübenberge, one of the Mardorf, said of the accident: “This is really a novelty here.” It had been in the war an anti-aircraft position on the Steinhuder Meer.
phosphorus came in Aufspülungen of Sand to the beach
On the beach the insidious substance was probably in the spring when Aufspülungen of Sand that come from the lake itself, said Papenfuß. Sand banks, the navigation disabled on the Steinhuder Meer, had been flushed out to be removed and the Sand elsewhere – and, with it, the flammable legacy.
The Problem: the exterior of phosphorus chunks are actually amber, you are hardly to distinguish. When phosphorus dries, ignites itself – then the phosphorus combines with the oxygen from the air and produces a 1,300 degree hot fire. This fire is hardly to be deleted. Phosphorus fumes are also highly toxic.
White phosphorus from munitions remnants of the Second world war, is constantly rinsed on beaches free. This is Western Pomerania, especially from the island of Usedom in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. dpa In Sunny weather, amber stones are available in different sizes and colors, after a walk on the beach in the hands of a tourist.
Remains of the phosphorus can not be recovered
The phosphorus radicals which had found the woman on Sunday afternoon, could not be salvaged, according to the Hannover Region – the 28-Year-old had thrown away the lump, after he had lit up. After consultation with the explosive ordnance disposal service was clear that the Sand will not be exchanged, or a large area of the sieves, said Papenfuß. This is disproportionate, it is unlikely that larger amounts of phosphorus were found.
The Ralf Madert, Executive Director of the Surfer’s Paradise on the North shore of the Steinhuder Meer lake looks so: “At the Baltic sea every guest knows,” he said about the danger to confuse amber with phosphorus. Now it is at least known that it is also at the Steinhuder Meer could happen to find phosphorus. “We have searched the beach, there is nothing there,” said Madert. You can’t blame anyone, if he pick a “hot stone”. Like the surfers and bathers to deal with the incident? “So we will live with the Corona – each makes the other’s attention,” he said.
28-Year-old is “well under the circumstances”
The 28-Year-old noted, is “well under the circumstances”, consequential damages are not to be expected, said Papenfuß. And the surfers and kitesurfers, and moved back quickly to the lake, about 50 of them crowded on Monday on the water. Only: Is at the Steinhuder Meer with genuine amber artefacts to be expected: “That would be very unusual, because amber, there is not here,” she said.
