The wave of toxic sludge that has poured into seven villages in Hungary could take up to 12 months and tens of millions of dollars to clean up, officials have warned. The red tide, which inundated streets and homes after the walls of residue reservoir at an aluminium plant collapsed, has so far killed four people and injured 120, but the death toll is expected to rise. Six people are missing and another eight are in critical condition in hospital, suffering from chemical burns.
