Monster fatberg ‘autopsy’ reveals wet wipes, bones and false teeth
Fatberg found in Sidmouth, Devon, contained no toxic chemicals or microplastic beads
The dirty secrets of a huge fatberg discovered lurking under the seafront of a Devon town have been laid bare after scientists carried out an “autopsy” of the monster.
As expected, household cooking fats, wet wipes and other hygiene products were key components of the 64m-long beast (bigger than the Leaning Tower of Pisa) but it also contained bits of bone, twigs, string – and false teeth.
