Where are the particles now?
Particles released through the liquid effluent pipeline mixed with sand and were deposited on the seabed. Larger, more active particles seem to have remained close to the discharge point with smaller, less active particles, being transported to the east and west. Fragments of particles may have dissolved or been transported to the east of the Pentland Firth. Particles of this size have not been found and would not be an environment or health concern.
