Without getting political about it, have there been tests on how wars and the weapons used in them effect the?

Question

ozone?

Answer 1

Even without extensive study, I think that most people agree that war is bad for the environment. However, in a time of war, the environment is not usually the first concern of most people (except the tree huggers).

Answer 2

Yes,

It's called the BIG BANG theory.

Answer 3

I spent 20 years in the Army and I am familiar with a number of studies on the impacts of the various aspects of warfare on soil, surface water and groundwater, but I'm not aware of any studies on the impacts on Ozone.

Answer 4

As others have said, there are many studies on the negative environmental effects of war (and they are massive), but i've not heard of one specifically on ozone.

Warfare creates air, water, and soil pollution.  Ever hear of depleted uranium shells?  

I'm fairly sure they don't bother with emissions controls on their vehicles and machinery.  And just think how much oil it takes to maintain an army overseas.

Answer 5

There are quite a few studies about all the possible outcomes from war, you can Google the subject and come back with thousands of links.

Answer 6

Ask the survivors of Hiroshima.

Answer 7

Believe me, for those who manufacture and use those weapons, ozone layer is one of the last thing they would worry about.
