Russian shelling has triggered millions of tons of asbestos to be released, forming heaps of contaminated rubble &#8211; a cause for concern given that an estimated 70% of Ukrainian buildings contain asbestos. While the risks of asbestos contamination are reduced when it is sealed in glue or cement, once exposed these risks significantly increase.<\/p>\n<p>According to the World Health Organization, asbestos is a serious carcinogen which can also trigger chronic lung conditions. As more and more companies are beginning to recycle rubble in Ukraine, asbestos is an increasing health hazard for civilians and headache for authorities. It is also not the only material which is contaminating debris &#8211; as chemicals released from ammunition and missiles have also entered the air, soil and water across Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Asbestos was commonly used in roofing materials, cement and adhesives. Although efforts to phase out asbestos began in 2011, these faced heavy opposition &#8211; but the material was eventually formally outlawed in 2022. For some businesses, recycling debris is key to a green reconstruction as well as a way of creating new jobs. One way of doing this is through asbestos sorting. Neo-Eco Ukraine &#8211; an industrial engineering company &#8211; has experience in the matter. Specialised in waste recycling, Neo-Eco led a pilot recycling project in Hostomel, a city north of Kyiv.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2023\/12\/12\/could-recycling-rubble-contaminated-with-asbestos-be-dangerous-for-ukrainians\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-437\/\">Could recycling rubble contaminated with asbestos be dangerous for Ukrainians?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2277,575,764,559],"class_list":["post-119428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-asbestos","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling","tag-ukraine"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119428\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
