Fifty six diving personnel tasked to retrieve bodies of passengers trapped inside the ferry will undergo more tests on Saturday for any ill effects from fertilizers that are suspected to have leaked in the cargo hold of the ferry. Retrieval operations for the bodies of passengers were suspended on Friday when the cargo manifest of the ship showed large quantities of a highly toxic fertilizer called endosulfan. Authorities feared that the fertilizers could have contaminated the waters around the sunken ferry and could prove fatal to the diving crew. Environment officials are concerned that the fertilizer could cause a severe damage to the delicate aquatic environment around Romblon province.
