       Earthquake Debris Could Create an Environmental Catastrophe in Türkiye and SyriaAfter recent earthquakes, Türkiye and Syria continue to grapple with a mass of rubble that could pollute, poison and alter the lives of everyone aroundThe disaster has killed thousands of people and affected millions of others. Now that the last presumed survivors have been found, the region faces many other problems, including enormous amounts of debris from collapsed buildings, roads, and the like. This material is estimated to weigh up to 210 million tons—enough to cover Washington, D.C. four feet deep, or build a mound as tall as Mount Erciyes, a large volcano in Türkiye.A 2017 U.S. congressional report highlighted post-disaster debris management as “one of the greatest challenges” on the path to recovery and rebuilding. These same challenges now confront Türkiye and Syria. The massive quantities of post-disaster debris, the desire and need to clean up quickly, and the high costs of debris-removal operations can lead to many missteps with dangerous consequencesIn Türkiye, mixed into the construction waste of fallen buildings are #asbestos and other harmful chemicals, along with household appliances and #electronics. People and environmental groups have raised concerns about the potential hazards hidden in these mountains of debris, parts of which have been dumped in or near residential areas, agricultural fields, riverbeds or wildlife sanctuary areas. The Turkish government announced its debris management plans mentioning the separation, recycling, reuse for construction or proper disposal of debris. However, the execution of these plans has been challenging; government officials have welcomed #input from the #public if they #observe erroneous or #illegal #practices by contractorshttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earthquake-debris-could-create-an-environmental-catastrophe-in-tuerkiye-and-syria/

       @cdarwin Would also likely apply to cities flattened by RU invading murderers completely leveling towns and cities, and residential housing in the unoccupied cities in UA.  #Ukraine #NAFO
