Velika razaranja ostavit će traga i na okolišu: povećano zagađenje zraka, vode i tla (29,30). Saniranje leševa ljudi i životinja u potresom pogođenom području mora biti prioritet upravo zbog povećane mogućnosti širenja patogena u okoliš.…”

“…Hence, such systems deserve particular attention to safeguard them against any accidental event such as earthquakes. Nevertheless, piping systems and their components have been found particularly vulnerable under seismic events and suffered severe damages during past earthquakes causing serious accidents both to human lives and to the environment [1, 2,3,4].…”
