| Short description: |
Destruction of industrial facilities and spilling of chemicals have the worst effect for the environment. During the Balkan wars the burning or damaging of industrial and military targets in the Former Republic of Yugoslavia resulted in the release of a large number of chemicals into the environment. The atmospheric releases contained also persistent organic pollutants, which are known to be hazardous to health. Under suitable meteorological conditions, these chemicals can be transported across borders over large distances.
