HUNGARY-ENVIRONMENT-POLLUTION

A local man cleans yard in the flooded town of Devecser, 150 km (93 miles) west of Hungarian capital Budapest on October 8, 2010. Wave of toxic red mud swept through the small village five days ago, killing five and injuring scores more. The accident -- which officials say is Hungary's worst-ever chemical accident and an "ecological disaster" -- occurred on October 4 when the walls of a reservoir of residue at an aluminium plant in nearby Ajka broke, sending a wave of stinking red sludge through seven villages in the west of the country and leaving a trail of devastation across an area of 40 square kms (15.4 square miles). In Kolontar, the army had to build a temporary bridge to replace one that was swept away by the flood.
