Traces of Empire: Chemical Pollution
1994-01-02T12:00:00Z
Foreign troops that occupied Estonia considered preserving nature and healthy living environment to be rather unimportant. Soviet generals often planned environmentally dangerous military bases in beautiful places in nature, near water catchment areas and bodies of water. Soviet army had about 1565 military objects in Estonia, including 5 aerodromes, more than 50 rocket bases, test sites etc. Since Estonia regained its independence, our environmental protectors have suffered uncertainty whether all sources of pollution and the remains of hazardous substances have been found and neutralized.
