The EcoThreat service is part of the EcoSystem. It was created by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine at the beginning of russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine. It was primarily designed to provide people with reliable data on the state of the environment, as well as to enable everyone to promptly report any crimes against nature.
EcoThreat accumulates data from 750 radiation monitoring stations in Eastern Europe and almost 5,000 water and air monitoring stations. It contains all the information that saves lives - notifications about air alerts, chemical hazards; indicators of water and air pollution and information about hazardous waste or illegal dumpsites; instructions in case of environmental emergencies. And most importantly, all this information is available to everyone in their own smartphone.
"We are not resting on our laurels. We plan to continue expanding the EcoSystem's functionality. Step by step, our team is implementing a large-scale goal - to build the necessary "digital infrastructure" for comfortable coexistence of the state, business and citizens and to digitise all the questions that people may have about the protection of the Ukrainian environment," said Ruslan Strilets, Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine.
