The United Nations General Assembly recently adopted two expert studies relating to arms limitation and disarmament. In March 1987 at the request of the General Assembly, the Secretary-General established a group of sci entists to study the "climatic and potential physical effects of nuclear war, including nuclear winter."
Chapters 1-4 of this book (Part I) deal with this study on the climatic and other effects of nuclear war, which was adopted in November 1988. Chapter 1 presents an overview, including findings and conclusions. Chapter 2 is concerned with atmospheric and climatic consequences, including such technical issues as dust, combustion and fuels, fires and smoke emissions. reductions in light, and other factors. Chapter 3 discusses the effects on natural ecosystems and agriculture, and Chapter 4 deals with human health and socioeconomic effects.
