endanger the environment

Environment experts in Quebec on Saturday were monitoring a spill that turned several kilometres of the Saguenay River red.

There is no danger to people and likely not to aquatic life either, said company spokeswoman Renée Larouche.
"We want to first reassure the population that despite the way the river looks, there is no danger to the population," she said.
