Toxic foam overflows from Bengaluru's Varthur lake
Amid heavy rainfall in Bengaluru, a toxic foam started to overflow from Varthur lake near Whitefield Main Road and strong winds made the chemical froth reach a nearby mall and hospital. The foam, which has harmful chemicals like nitrates, potassium and sulphates, is reportedly flammable, creates problems for two-wheelers and causes irritation when it comes in contact with the skin.
