Chemical Incidents. Leaflet on Risks and Safety Measures

The concept of countering chemical threats is highly relevant for Ukraine, which has a large number of high-risk chemical facilities. Potential risks are significantly higher today, when plants, enterprises and storehouses can be targeted or even accidentally damaged during hostilities.  A resulting spillage (release) of hazardous chemicals poses a threat to human health, life, and to the environment. This leaflet produced by the OSCE projects in Ukraine provides a number of practical tips that will help civilians to recognize chemical threat, take safety measures and provide first aid in case of poisoning.
