Abstract. Accidental chemical contamination of the living environment
and peacetime poisoning of people, fish and animals represent the most
actual problems of the contemporary world. According to the official UN
expert evaluations, these accidents and events inflict severe damages on
mankind, make the living environment unbearable, endanger the health and
life of humans and animals, as well as of plants, and have considerable
material, social and political implications.
Two chemical accidents were singled out in the analysis of the accidents
known to have happened in our country and worldwide. The first is classified
as a negative experience and the rise of panic, which is never anticipated
in the plans of responding to chemical accidents and which has proved in
this case to be of extreme importance, as the consequences could have been
avoided or significantly reduced without it. The second event represents
an extremely positive experience in terms of a fast and timely reaction
to a chemical accident.
Key Words: chemical accidents, chemical contamination, technical
equipment, quick response
POZNATI HEMIJSKI AKCIDENTI
Akcidentna hemijska kontaminacija životne sredine i trovanja ljudi, riba
i životinja u vreme mira spadaju u red najaktuelnijih problema savremenog
sveta. Prema zvaničnim procenama eksperata Ujedinjenih nacija, ti akcidenti
i događaji nanose ogromne štete čovečanstvu, životnu sredinu čine
nepodnošljivom, ugrožavaju zdravlje i živote ljudi i životinja, kao
i biljaka i imaju materijalne, društvene i političke implikacije velikih
razmera.
Analizirajući poznate akcidente u svetu i u našoj zemlji izdvojena
su dva hemijska akcidenta. Prvi, kao negativno iskustvo i pojavu panike
koju niko ne predviđa u planovima odgovora na hemijski akcident, a na
ovom primeru je očigledno da je veoma važan i da su posledice mogle biti
izbegnute ili daleko blaže da nije bila prisutna. Drugi, zbog izuzetno
pozitivnog iskustva u smislu brze i pravovremene reakcije na hemijski akcident.
Ključne reči: Hemijski akcidenti, hemijska kontaminacija,
tehnicka opremljenost, brzina reagovanja
