Investigations into Risk Assessment and Cost Anaysis as Tools for Pollution Prevention During Military Exercises and Training
Abstract
Military forces are big and diverse organization with heavy demands for equipment, chemicals and other materials when conducting training, exercises and day to day missions. Military forces are also producers of large quantity of hazardous and harmful wastes, which in the field conditions can have strong negative influence on the environment. Many of these wastes are similar to those of large civilian industrial organizations, but some are peculiar to the army mission. The main purpose of the presentation is to show ideas developed for estimation of environmental loses and costs resulting from military exercises and training activities of land troops, navy and air force. The legislative, economic and technical tools, which lead to the minimization of the environmental damages during the military training and exercises, are discussed. Types of military training activities and materials, which have the most severe environmental impact, have been identified. Furthermore, the paper describes measures undertaken within the military sector to face the environmental standards and regulations relating to national guidelines on air, water, soil, and nature protection during the military training and exercises.
