Investigating river pollution compared to 'pulling teeth'
Original: Getting river pollution investigated like 'pulling teeth'
Getting river pollution properly investigated is being described as like 'pulling teeth', according to BBC coverage. The report highlights how slow and difficult it is to hold polluters to account over contaminated waterways, a frustration widely shared by campaigners and communities watching rivers deteriorate. Concern over sewage and agricultural runoff in rivers remains a live and growing issue for the public.
Why now: Ongoing public anger over untreated sewage and slow enforcement against river polluters keeps the topic in the news.
