Explosives in the Environment: the Fate and Impact

Eksplozivne tvari mogu biti vrlo korisne, ali i imati vrlo štetan utjecaj ukoliko se ne postupa s njima s velikim oprezom. Različite eksplozivne tvari završe u okolišu tijekom proizvodnog procesa, vojnih aktivnosti, oružanim sukobima, odlaganjem streljiva i slično. Interakcija eksploziva i okoliša počinje u procesu proizvodnje, a završava sa zbrinjavanjem eksploziva i uništavanjem njih i produkata koji nastaju. U okolišu eksplozivne tvari podliježu razgradnim procesima i tako mijenjaju okolinu u kojoj se nalaze. Toksični utjecaj eksploziva umanjuje se postupcima uklanjanja eksploziva razgradnim procesima do netoksičnih produkata. Monitoringom svih komponenti teritorija umanjujemo rizike od potencijalnih katastrofa.Explosive substances can be very useful but also have a very harmful effect if they are not treated with extreme caution. Various explosive substances end up in the environment during the production process, military activities, armed conflicts, ammunition disposal and similar activities. The interaction between the explosives and the environment begins in the production process, and ends with the disposal of explosives and destroying them and their products. Explosive substances are subject to degradation processes in the environment and thus change the environment in which they are located. The toxic effect of explosives is reduced by removing explosives with degradation processes to non-toxic products. By monitoring all components of the territory, we reduce the risks of potential catastrophes
