Bytomka (German: Beuthener Wasser[1] or Iserbach[2]) is a river located in southern Poland, in Silesia. It is approximately 19.2 km (11.9 mi) in length.[3]
In the interwar period it was a part of the Germany-Poland border.[1]
The river is highly polluted with heavy metals, notably cadmium, copper, mercury, nickel and zinc.[4] The cause of pollution is thought to be human activity.[5]
