Izlivanjem procednih voda na deponiji Duboko kod Užica toksične materije su ispuštene u životnu sredinu, a ovaj akcident je po svom negativnom efektu ravan onom koji se dogodio prilikom požara 2024. godine, izjavio je za N1 dr Branimir Jovančićević, profesor Hemijskog fakulteta Univerzitetea u Beogradu.

- An environmental group labeled the spill an "ecological crime," reporting 800 cubic meters of "most carcinogenic substances" were released.
- The Ministry announced the leak was contained and the situation under control.
- A professor highlighted that previous officials responsible for the landfill should have been held accountable, preventing this incident.
- He called for current local and national officials to be held responsible to avoid future environmental disasters.
