Thanks to cutting-edge filming carried out by Euronews, you can now join an expert team and get behind-the-scenes access to a UN Environment field mission.

The first ever nationwide survey to identify and map sites where soils have been potentially contaminated by dangerous industrial chemicals in Serbia got underway on 7 September.

Italian and Serbian experts collected soil at two former chemicals plants in order to analyse their toxicity and begin remediation measures.

A 360° filming technique used on site by Euronews now allows you to drag your mouse on this video and turn the camera to look around feel as if you are setting foot on one of the sites yourself.

This is the very first story Euronews and UN Environment are telling the world as part of their new partnership. The most-viewed European TV channel has taken on the challenge of informing people on health-related risks linked to soil polluted by heavy chemicals.

The factories near Sabac and Loznica are just two of the 359 potentially contaminated sites being investigated across Serbia. We will soon share the lab results on the extent of the soil pollution so that they can be cleaned-up and human health protected.
