NATO strikes on the petrochemical complex at Pančevo caused an ecological catastrophe.
During the NATO bombing, the chemical industry at Pančevo was the target of several strikes, which caused an ecological catastrophe.
An ecological bomb
The bombing of the "Petrohemija" and "Azotara" plants released enormous quantities of toxic chemicals — vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), mercury, and dioxins.
Consequences
The contamination of soil, water, and air had long-term consequences for the health of the population. The number of people falling ill with cancer increased.
An international crime
The deliberate bombing of chemical facilities is regarded as a war crime because of its long-term consequences for civilians and the environment.
