Great fire in East Tyrol: The smoke for the population is so dangerous!

Nußdorf-Debant, Österreich - A major fire in the waste center of the Rossbacher company in Nußdorf-Debant, East Tyrol, currently has the region in suspense. The fire brigade is in use with over 500 emergency services from East Tyrol, Upper Carinthia, Kufstein and Kitzbühel to combat the embers and bring the situation under control. While the state government informed that the waste supply in the Lienz district was secured and the processing can be handled via a landfill in Lavant, massive smoke development causes concern among the population. A biting smell and burning waste causes questions about the possible toxins in the smoke.

An analytical task force from the Munich professional fire brigade was requested immediately to carry out pollutant analyzes. In addition, a bolzano measurement tract is in use to check the air quality. The medical recommendation advises to restrict the outdoor stay to the most necessary and to suggest the wearing of a mouth-nose protection. The AT-Alert was expanded to inform the affected communities, including Nussdorf-Debant, Lienz-Stadt, Iselsberg-Stronach, Lavant, Tristach, Dölsach, Nikolsdorf, Leisach, Assling, Amlach and Oberlienz.

warnings and recommendations

The population is urgently asked to close windows, doors and roof hatches and to avoid the area. Ventilation and air conditioning systems in the area of ​​the fire location should also be switched off. A danger information regarding the strong smoke development and the fire smell was also sent to the municipalities of Abfaltersbach, Anras, Ainet, Schlaiten, St. Johann, Hopfgarten and Matrei.

The situation illustrates which far -reaching dangers can bring fire. As notes [axa XL] (https://axaxl.com/de/fast-Fast-Forward/articles/vom-feuerschaden-zum-potentialelle- environmental risk) notes, fire arises from the interplay of oxygen, heat and fuel and are considered one of the greatest risks for humans. The far -reaching dangers of fires are not only limited to property damage and the loss of human life, but also cause environmental consequences such as toxic air emissions and contamination of water. In the case of fires, important pollutants can be released that have short -term and long -term environmental impacts.

Air quality has experienced improvements in many regions in recent years, as reported by the [Federal Government] (https://www.bundes- Region.de/breg-de/bundesgundien/bundesministerium-umwelt-klimaschtz-naturschutz. Nevertheless, the risk from pollutants such as fine dust and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) remains a serious problem, especially with considerable fire events. Although the burden in Germany tends to decrease, toxins and pollutants that result from fires are a serious threat, especially for people with pre -damaged airways and allergies.

not only local authorities, but also companies, should develop emergency plans for dealing with fire risks and their environmental effects. It is important that everyone involved remains careful and take preventive measures to minimize health risks and protect the environment.
