An extract from the article: “In addition to things that have accidentally fallen into the toilet bowl, such as phones, jewelry, keys, toys, etc., it is often considered to throw there the hygiene items, food waste, cigarette butts, etc., as well as clothes items and medical supplies such as masks, syringes and medicine packaging. Sometimes there are things in the sewers that raise the question of how they’ve gotten there in the first place.”For more information read the main article in Eesti Loodus.
