Environmental and economic aspects of soil pollution as a result of military actions

Abstract

The research conducted within this study has revealed significant changes in the soil condition in the affected areas due to military conflicts. The soil condition assessment was based on analyzing its physical, chemical, and biological properties. The research findings underline the significant impact of hostilities on the environmental state of the soil. The disturbances in soil stability and changes in its physical, chemical, and biological properties have significant consequences for natural ecosystems, agriculture, and the economy as a whole. These results indicate the necessity of taking measures to restore the damaged soil and reduce the negative impact on the environment and the economy. For instance, rehabilitation and soil restoration programs can be developed using environmentally friendly methods such as bioremediation and organic fertilizers. It is also crucial to establish monitoring systems for soil quality and water resources to detect pollution and take measures to mitigate it promptly.
