Mirones Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 i would honor greenpeace if they would actualy doing something against he countless ammunition that got thrown into the ocean after the first and second world war simply because an place where these would be savely storaged on land where to costly and unsave. i readed somewhere that it was 50-60 years for granades to rust so far away that chemicals of the explosiv start leaking into the enviorment. and roughly 70 years for bombs. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1030-09.htm japanese KOBELCO company is one if not the only company in the world who is activly lifting ammunitition from the sea to defuse and dispose them on land. map of worldwide WW2 ordenace in the oceans and about the baltic an caricatur from the germans about the baltic as holiday target. ,,look dady i found a shell made of iron,, ,,and i found some burning amber!,,
Hawke Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 I'd never even considered this before, but I can see now how that could be a huge issue with all that unexploded ordnance.
Mirones Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 i never considered it a problem either untill i found out how much is down there
PrezesOi Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Numbers (google transle from http://www.bsap.pl/gazy-bojowe-zatopione-w-baltyku/ ): It is believed that the Baltic Sea is located approx. 40 000- 60 000. tons of chemical weapons, including from 12 000 to 13 000 tons of chemical agents. It is possible that the numbers are much higher.
Hawke Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Those are certainly troubling figures. I was aware of the issue of ordnance such as land mines, grenades and bombs left over from various wars, but chemical weapons in the seas seems like a much more significant issue, I'm frankly surprised I haven't heard more about it.
Mirones Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 well after some miles out away from the shore the govements says not my problem anymore international water ololo god i hate them same with the junkfield in the pazifik
kaboki Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 "There have been sporadic incidences since the war of Baltic fisherman suffering burns from lumps of solidified mustard gas caught in their nets, and once a mustard-gas seeping from a canister washed up on the shores of the Polish seaside town of Darlowo burnt about 100 people and left four victims blind." Something also to think of is if contaminated fish reaches the market:p. So it should worry all goverments even if it is in international waters because it may end up as their dinner:D
Mirones Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 "There have been sporadic incidences since the war of Baltic...'' well you know how it is a handcase of some printed monopoly money and it gets swept under the carpet
