Rationale

Ukraine is heavily industrialised (metallurgy, mining, machinery, chemical and petro-chemical, energy generation, etc.)

Many industrial facilities are directly impacted by hostilities (damaged, destroyed, dismantled, etc.), leading to the release of hazardous substances into the environment, with negative consequences on human health, productive natural assets and ecosystems.

Event- and facility-specific information is crucial to address immediate and long-term environmental and health risks.
