Chemical-Environmental Aspects of Measures to Eliminate the Chemical Weapon Destruction Consequences

Abstract

The paper presents the basic requirements for carrying out measures to eliminate the consequences of activities at chemical weapons destruction facilities, describes technological approaches for implementing measures to eliminate the consequences of the destruction of skin abscesses and phosphorus-organic toxic substances, and evaluates their effectiveness. Thе chemical-toxicological characteristic of the waste generated during the implementation of liquidation measures is given, the environmental risks of these measures are analyzed, including the risks of long-term storage of toxic waste in appropriate storage areas. The ways to reduce the negative environmental impact of the consequences of carrying out liquidation measures at the facilities for the destruction of lewisite, sarin and soman are proposed
