Rospotrebnadzor has denied a ban on publishing data on the condition of Anapa's beaches.

The agency called the response of the Rospotrebnadzor office for the Krasnodar Territory to a request for data on the condition of beaches and water in Anapa inaccurate.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," Anapa City Duma deputy Oleg Yantsen submitted a request about the quality of water and sand on beaches, but was denied the data. The Krasnodar Territory Office of Rospotrebnadzor explained that information on this is provided only to the government commission.

Rospotrebnadzor stated that there is no ban on the publication of data on the condition of Anapa's beaches.

In connection with the appearance in a number of media outlets, citing a letter from the Krasnodar Territory Office of Rospotrebnadzor, about an alleged ban on the publication of seawater and sand test results, we inform you that the response of the Krasnodar Territory Office of Rospotrebnadzor is incorrect, the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing reported.

"No bans on publishing information about the emergency response measures being carried out in Anapa and their results have been introduced. Information on the situation in Anapa is published weekly, the agency reported today on its Telegram channel.

It should be noted that the weekly reports of the government commission on the cleanup of the fuel oil spill in The Kerch Strait reports, one of which was published today on the Krasnodar Krai task force's Telegram channel, do not contain data on water and sand quality or compliance with standards.

A total of more than 185,800 tons of contaminated sand and soil have been collected. "About 185,300 tons have been removed to specialized organizations. The entire volume of sand and soil removed for disposal has been neutralized or recycled," the Russian government said in a statement today on its Telegram channel.
