The aim of the paper is to summarize the evidence of health impacts of occupational exposure to wildland fires. The authors searched 3 databases for relevant articles and screened the results. After full-text review, articles were included based on pre-determined criteria. The authors identified 32 relevant articles. Occupational exposure to wildland fires affects lung function in the short term and may increase the risk of hypertension in the long term. Exposure to wildland fires is also associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms. There was insufficient evidence to comment on most longer-term risks, and in particular on respiratory disease or cancer risks. Further research is required to understand whether occupational exposure to wildland fires results in clinically significant impacts on respiratory function, and to further clarify the relationship between occupational exposure and blood pressure, mental health, and cancer outcomes.

Konflikt zbrojny na wschodzie Ukrainy rozgrywa się na obszarze okręgu przemysłowego, który już w okresie pokoju należał do najbardziej zagrożonych pod względem stanu czystości wody i jakości powietrza. W pracy, omówiono oddziaływanie walczących stron zarówno na elementy przyrody żywej (lasy, rośliny, zwierzęta, ekosystemy) jak i na dostępne zasoby wody. Wskazano na niszczące działania walczących stron, których skutki zagrażają materialnym podstawom bytu miejscowej ludności. Poddano analizie problematykę związaną emisjami zanieczyszczeń gazowych, w tym z pożarami składów amunicji. Autorzy podejmują także zagadnienie wykorzystania problemów środowiska w wojnie informacyjnej toczonej przez obie strony konfliktu.

The armed conflict in the east of Ukraine is taking place in the area of the industrial district, which in the period of peace was one of the most endangered in terms of water and air quality. At work, the impact of the warring parties on the elements of living nature (forests, plants, animals, ecosystems) as well as on the available water resources was discussed. The destructive actions of the fighting parties were pointed out, the effects of which threaten the material foundations of the local population very existence. Issues related to emissions of gaseous pollutants, including ammunition storage fires, were analyzed. The authors also take up the issue of the use of environmental problems in the informational war waged by both sides of the conflict.
