Iraqis currently suffers from black smoke left by some of the oil well fires still burning pulling in more than four months , including in respect of toxic gases near the agricultural and residential areas and wide, stretching to the south of Mosul.
But the impact of these fires in addition to contaminated water and military equipment scattered and destroyed facilities will be extended in the long run and hamper reconstruction and the resumption of more than three million displaced people in the country of their lives as normal.
A report of the United Nations Environment Programme to receive hundreds therapy after exposure to chemicals in addition to the exposure of millions to inhalation of particulate matter emitted gases from oil wells in areas to the south of the city of Mosul on oil wells and where the burned organization Islamic state factories of sulfur.
The men of the Iraqi Civil Defense investigated the situation across the electronic devices.
Hajjar says Fadel civil defense officer as he stood close to the well continues to emit sparks of flame, "we measure levels of hydrogen sulfide , " a flammable gas that can cause burns.
He adds , "We covered the ground to stop the emission of smoke and stop polluting the air and the environment."
But concern is growing from " the negative impact of this pollution on the ability to re - build a clean and sustainable environment , " enabling the return of displaced people to their homes, according to Jenny Sparks from the International Organization for Migration.
Sparks adds that it takes " to move from emergency to move programs to build capacity for resistance in the coming weeks and months."
United Nations Environment Programme and points out that the reconstruction of this takes place in " a region that suffers habitat originally from deterioration caused by previous conflicts and exploit acreage unsustainable ways led to serious desertification and impoverish the soil."
The vast majority of the population in these areas dependent on agriculture, animal husbandry and work in the oil sector, two sectors that devastated jihadists.

He says Jaber , aged 16, which takes care of his sheep farm near the town of Qayyarah to AFP : "I have some of my sheep died , and the rest of them I can not sell it because it blackened."
And international organizations warn of further damage with the continuing conflict in the region.
Warns UN Environment of toxic substances contained in the debris and dust of destroyed buildings and some of the weapons stores and chemicals program, and long - term impact to the environment "if there is no action in the face of that."
The same applies to military vehicles destroyed abandoned because they pose a threat to " the kids who play with them or men who Ivkkunha Madenha to sell."
Erik Solheim in charge of the UN Environment Programme says the water can be a source of danger. He adds , "thrown the bodies of dangerous materials and oil" in rivers and streams.
Nevertheless, some people still cling to hope. United Nations Environment Programme says that when US - led invasion of Iraq in 2003, Mishraq sulfur plant near Qayyarah subjected to fire lasted months, "and exposed the plants and crops badly damaged. But two years later, it recovered the environment. "
As for the amount of oil that leaked it "organic material and degrade over time and no longer affect the environment , " according to Wim Sognnberg from the Organization of Pax calling for an end to conflicts.
The United Nations Environment Program warned that after the collapse of the bodies charged with fighting environmental management may lead "to the accumulation of household, medical and industrial waste and causing environmental and health risks."
The looting that took place in the wake of the US - led invasion in 2003, particularly in factories has been repeated. Then "stole civilians toxic substances and Kamiaiah. Some of them, for example , the looting of barrels of nuclear reactors and used to store drinking water , "according to Sognnberg. Q ended
