Is that picture just a file photo of the Euphrates? (Looks to me like people getting ready to take a bath in it.) Or is it a photo of discovery of the toxins?

It does look like a file photo now that you mention it. The lack of mention of animal life in the article is interesting though. I would think that affected animal lifew would be a very quick way to determine if concerns were justified or not, then research the actual levels subsequent to that.
