Waste Water from a Hungarian aluminium plant still contains toxic chemicals that threaten a local river, despite a big clean-up there, Greenpeace says.
The international environmental group has urged the EU to put pressure on the Hungarian government immediately to stop the "constant pollution".
Ten people died last October when red sludge poured from one of the plant's reservoirs into a nearby village.
Officials could not be reached for comment on the latest water analysis.
Greenpeace took water samples at six points along a waste water channel, which feeds into a stream called the Torna. The Torna is part of a river system that flows into the Danube.
The village worst hit by the disaster - Kolontar - is only 45km (28 miles) from the Danube.
