Sea-dumped chemical warfare - ecological consequences for the Baltic Sea ecosystem
Dr. Michał Czub

Up to 50,000 tons of chemical munitions were dumped in the Baltic Sea shortly after the end of World War II. Today, this legacy raises questions about potential environmental hazards and threats to the Baltic Sea ecosystem. In this presentation, I will outline how our understanding of sea-dumped chemical weapons has evolved over the past 15 years of continuous research.
