The only references I've seen to the environmental impact of the war relate to the effects of the depleted uranium shells we're using, which will, of course, jeopardize the health of the people and land for generations. Forever, really.

(There are some epidemiological studies from Iraq indicating a correlation between the radiation left behind by such weapons there and significantly increased incidence of leukemia and other cancers. I don't know who conducted the studies. Also, in Macedonia, ambient atmospheric radioactivity has been monitored by the government, and the increase since the bombing began is reportedly 300%.)
