Hidden environmental danger of the Nordstream pipeline explosions

It is a matter of current international intrigue and investigation—in late September of 2022, an unknown group, organization or state successfully sabotaged two gas pipelines more than 80 meters below the Baltic Sea, severing a multibillion-dollar energy conduit from Russia to Germany. While the global political and economic concerns may be obvious, the potential environmental impacts of the event are discussed in a preprint paper made available on Research Square. The study, led by researchers at Aarhus University in Denmark, is titled "Environmental impact of sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines."
