The Gulf War Aftermath

Autor John C McCain, Muhammad Sadiq, M. Sadiq, J C McCain, Muhannad Sadiq, Texas Christian University
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 aug 1993
The invasion and occupation of Kuwait by the Iraqi forces and the resulting Gulf War in 1991 led to unprecedented environmental contamination, the effects of which will be felt for years to come. The air was polluted by emissions from hundreds of burning oil wells, the sea fouled by the largest oil spill in history, and the land scarred by massive bombardment and troop movement. Information regarding this environmental legacy of the Gulf War has hitherto been scattered throughout the popular and scientific press. This is the first book that brings together what is currently known about the environmental aftermath of this tragic war.
