ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT OF EXPLOSIVE RESIDUES TOXICOLOGICAL IMPACT ON HUMANS ON THE FORMER COMBAT AREA
This article evaluates the impact of explosives residues left after the explosion of low-detonation munitions on the health of population (children and adults) living on the former battlefield. To determine the toxicological impact of explosives on humans, we used data from artillery shelling near the village of Stepanivka, Donetsk region, during the fighting in 2014. By the number of craters formed on the battlefield and their size, the calibre of the shells and, accordingly, the mass of the explosives were determined.
