Problems of chemical industry recovery after war

Abstract

Armed conflicts have a devastating impact on industrial infrastructure, including the chemical industry, which is among the most environmentally sensitive sectors. The destruction of factories, accidents at chemical storage tanks, and uncontrolled releases of toxic waste result in long-term contamination of soil, water, and the atmosphere. International experience in restoring chemical production after military conflicts highlights key principles, technological approaches, and environmental safety measures that can be applied in countries affected by war, including Ukraine.
