Environmental Impact of Bombings in Yugoslavia
Warning that NATO could cause a huge ecological catastrophe, Yugoslav authorities are asking NATO not to hit a chemical plant near central Belgrade. A Belgrade health official said that if it is bombed, the plant could release a cloud with a deadly dose of hydro-fluoride, an acid used to manufacture washing detergents. The officials said the effects would be deadly within a 19-mile radius, and its toxic effects would reach 60 miles away.
