WAR AS ENVIRONMENTALLY ANTHROPOGENIC RISK -With a focus in the community of Teslić

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the effects on the space and the living world of wars fought in the second half of the twentieth century. We analyzed the negative effects of warfare in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the FRY. In addition to the effects that are caused by military operations in large areas that relate to the area of individual states,the war was studied as anthropogenic risk area for a smaller territorial units. These wars, like no previously caused serious consequences for ecosystems as a whole. The result of these wars were previously unrecorded destruction of forest and agricultural area. In addition to chemical and biological, and nuclear war was waged using ammunition with impoverished uranium. Vast areas remained contaminated and unfit for human habitation. The consequences will be felt in the long term as intensive dying, giving birth to children with severe disabled features and sterility. Space of municipality Teslić is an example of degrading vast forest areas due to years of being a broad line of separation and keeping the trench war and the lack of social control over the use of natural resources.
