The Sandoz chemical spill was a major environmental disaster caused by a fire and its subsequent extinguishing at Sandoz agrochemical storehouse in the Schweizerhalle industrial complex, Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, on 1 November 1986, which released toxic agrochemicals into the air and resulted in tons of pollutants entering the Rhine river, turning it red. The chemicals caused a massive mortality of wildlife downstream, killing, among other animals, a large proportion of the European eel population in the Rhine, although the situation subsequently recovered within a couple of years.

rdfs:comment	Der Grossbrand von Schweizerhalle ereignete sich am 1. November 1986 im Industriegebiet «Schweizerhalle» bei Basel in der Schweiz, als eine Lagerhalle des damaligen Chemiekonzerns Sandoz (heute Novartis) mit Chemikalien in Brand geriet. In dessen Folge gelangte mit Pflanzenschutzmitteln belastetes Löschwasser in den Rhein, was zu einem Fischsterben flussabwärts bis Mannheim führte. Weithin sichtbar war eine zusätzliche Verschmutzung des Rheinwassers mit einem roten Farbstoff, der jedoch ungiftig war. Der Brand weckte, durch die in Richtung Basel gewehte stinkende Rauchwolke und den in der Region ausgelösten Sirenenalarm, bedrohliche Erinnerungen an die Chemie-Katastrophe von Bhopal vom 3. Dezember 1984.

(en) 1986年莱茵河污染事件（也称为山德士化学泄漏事件）是指1986年11月1日发生在瑞士巴塞尔，因为化工厂仓库发生爆炸起火，导致大量由磷化物、汞等制成的杀虫剂、除草剂、杀真菌剂的有害物质随着灭火用水流入莱茵河，导致莱茵河下游生态遭到破坏、影响多国沿河居民生活的水污染事件。 (zh) La catastrophe de la Schweizerhalle s'est déclarée le 1er novembre 1986 dans la zone industrielle « Schweizerhalle » près de Bâle, en Suisse, lorsqu'un entrepôt de l'ancien groupe chimique Sandoz (devenu Novartis en 1996) a pris feu. Les pompiers tentent de limiter le sinistre avec plus de 15 000 m3 d'eau, un volume qui dépasse largement les 50 m3 du bassin de rétention. L'excédent, un mélange rougeâtre d'eau, de pesticides, de dérivés du mercure ainsi que d'esters phosphoriques, se déverse dans le Rhin, menant à une catastrophe écologique, l'Allemagne, la France et les Pays-Bas sont touchés. La pêche est interdite pendant six mois dans les zones contaminées. (fr) De Sandozramp was een grote brand in een opslaghal van het chemieconcern Sandoz in Bazel (Zwitserland) op 1 november 1986, en de daaropvolgende zeer ernstige verontreiniging van de Rijn door bluswater. (nl) Sandozolyckan var en svår miljökatastrof som orsakades av en brand vid Sandoz kemiska lagerlokal i Schweizerhalle i Basel-Landschaft i Schweiz den 1 november 1986, vilket ledde till att miljögifter spilldes ut i floden Rhen, vars färg blev röd. Kemikalierna orsakade stor död bland djurlivet längs med floden, framför allt på europeiska ålar, även om läget stabiliserade sig efter några år. Orsaken till att detta skedde klargjordes aldrig. Efter olyckan satsade Sandoz alltmer på miljömedvetenhet. (sv)
