CONTAMINATION EXTENSION Based on type and period of occurrence as well as the threat level we divided ERW into the following categories:

CONTAMINATION EXTENSION 1. CLUSTER BOMBS 30,000,000 square meters contaminated Several dozens of civil and military micro locations General Survey of civil locations in 2008 REPUBLIC OF SERBIA Cluster bombs location map
