Sea-dumped munitions risk releasing hazardous substances like mustard gas and arsenic compounds, endangering the marine environment, human health, and maritime activities.
A: Bornholm, Denmark
The waters around Bornholm hold large amounts of submerged munitions, ideal for data collection and testing risk assessment methods.
B: Estonia
In Estonia, data gathered will help us understand munitions' impacts on the local marine environment and communities.
C: Germany / D: Poland
Though not the primary study locations, Poland and Germany will contribute essential data from similar projects, adding to the overall analysis and recommendations.
