Sites visited by UNEP field teams

Description

In September 2002, a month-long UNEP mission comprising 20 Afghan and international scientists and experts visited 38 urban sites in four cities and 35 different rural locations. During the UNEP field work a total of 60 samples were collected to test air, soil and water conditions and levels of chemical contamination. State-of-the-art satellite analyses also proved to be an invaluable tool, especially in areas not accessible due to security constraints.
