In the village of Sednev in Chernihiv region, Russian invaders burn the corpses of their dead, exposing the village to toxic danger.
This is reported on Facebook by the international charity organization "Ecology-Prava-Human".
"As it became known to us, the bodies of dead Russian soldiers are being destroyed in the town of Sedni, Chernigov region, on the territory of a starch factory. The bodies are being burned, there is a terrible stench," the report said.
As noted in the organization, temperatures around 130 degrees Celsius and below are used to make starch. These are temperatures too low to destroy the human body, and incomplete combustion releases a lot of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia and other harmful substances.
"It takes temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Celsius or higher to burn the human body and turn it into ash. At lower temperatures, incomplete combustion occurs, releasing large amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, nitrogen oxides (monoxides and dioxides), sulfur oxide, and carcinogens, particularly formaldehydes."
Environmentalists noted that the dead lying unburied can also pose a health hazard. Decomposing bodies should not be touched without proper protection.
"Murdered bodies that lie unburied can also pose a health hazard. The decomposing body also releases all the above chemicals harmful to the environment and health.A decomposing body is also a source of dangerous bacteria, they can get into water bodies, can be spread by animals: birds, dogs, rats," - noted ecologists.
In addition, gastroenteritis from contaminated water, which was in contact with the body of the deceased, as well as the diseases that the deceased had: hepatitis B and hepatitis C, HIV, intestinal pathogens, tuberculosis, cholera, and others are dangerous.
If bacteria from the decomposing body get into open wounds or mucous membranes, through the water into the human body, it can cause blood poisoning, inflammation and lead to serious consequences. After death, harmful bacteria, cadaveric bacillus, form in the biological material.
