Abstract
The purpose of this book (monograph) is to describe various environmental consequences of NATO bombing in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) from March 24 to June 10, 1999, and to give some recommendations for the environmental recovery of Yugoslavia. During the NATO bombing campaign in 1999, 78 industrial facilities and 45 energy installations were damaged or destroyed, releasing thousands of tons of various carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic chemicals, including some persistent organic pollutants banned by the Stockholm convention for human use. Over 150,000 tons of oil and oil derivates and 367,000 tons of kerosene were burned, more than 20,000 residential buildings were destroyed, and at least 31,000 rounds of thirty millimeter DU munitions were fired. G17 group has estimated the damage to the infrastructure at over US$30 billion. The monograph is based on the papers presented at the First International Conference on Environmental Recovery of Yugoslavia, Belgrade, September 27 to 30, 2001 (ENRY2001). The conference included 142 presentations by 320 authors from 21 countries as well as three teleconference presentations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). About 80 papers are included in the presented form, and some papers(about 30) are included in a modified (extended or completed) form. In order

In order to have a more complete coverage in the book of important relevant topics,several contributions not presented at ENRY2001 are also included. An assessment of environmental damage and prospects for environmental remediation are presented. The status of the region up to 1991 (including preexisting ecological characteristics, as well as social and economical development), and the changes between 1991 and 2001 that include the effects of external economic sanctions, civil wars, and the NATO bombing in 1999 are included in the assessments. The ENRY2001 Activity Report and the Conference Conclusions and Recommendations are also included. These reports give a short overview of the various analyses presented at the ENRY2001 Conference, a swell as conclusions and recommendations by several working groups. The general recommendations include the pressing need for: (a) establishment of a centralized environmental recovery and protection agency in FRY; (b)comprehensive assessment of environmental status in FRY; (c) risk assessment of contaminated sites and their ranking to establish clean-up priorities: and(d) immediate start of the 'hot spots' remediation. This book will be of use to researchers around the world, as well as to national and international agencies and organizations involved in assessment, remediation and prevention of environmental damage caused by wars and technological pollution.Proceedings of the First International Conference on Environmental Recovery of Yugoslavia, are grouped into 9 chapters: Destruction of the facilities-air, soil, surface, and ground water pollution (26 papers),Depleted uranium (18 papers), Human health and bio-effects (8 papers),Remediation (20 papers), Food safety (5 papers), Environmental management and regulation (8 papers), Environmental protection (13 papers), Sustainable development (13 papers), Psycho-social and ethical effects (4 paper s).Proceedings were printed in 500 copies in hard copy and 200 copies on CD in May 2002. A separate abstract was prepared for each of these papers.}
