The Drying Plain: The city of stench 4/6

The Drying Plain: The city of stench 4/6

Located 45 minutes by car from the Hungarian border, the Serbian town of Topola in Vojvodina has become notorious in recent years for the stench spreading throughout the area, caused by nearby poultry farms, processing plants and sewage flowing into the local river.


This not only makes life miserable for the people of Topola, but is also a chronic source of stress, which is damaging the residents' resistance to disease.


But Topola's problems are not unique in Vojvodina, and highlight how uncontrolled environmental pollution, poor water management and the effects of global warming can add up.
