One of the worst hit regions\u2014around the ancient city of Antioch\u2014is where my father\u2019s family has lived for generations. This disaster has killed thousands of people and affected millions of others. Now that the last presumed survivors have been found, the region faces many other problems, including enormous amounts of debris from collapsed buildings, roads, and the like. This material is estimated to weigh up to 210 million tons\u2014enough to cover Washington, D.C. four feet deep, or build a mound as tall as Mount Erciyes, a large volcano in T\u00fcrkiye.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/earthquake-debris-could-create-an-environmental-catastrophe-in-tuerkiye-and-syria\/\u0022\u003ERead the article in its entirety within the Scientific American website\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFeatured in Scientific American,\u0026nbsp;Pinar Keskinocak warns of a potential environmental catastrophe in Turkey and Syria due to earthquake debris and\u0026nbsp;ongoing conflict in the region.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"After recent earthquakes, T\u00fcrkiye and Syria continue to grapple with a mass of rubble that could pollute, poison and alter the lives of everyone around it."}],"uid":"27233","created_gmt":"2023-06-15 19:58:23","changed_gmt":"2023-06-15 20:09:39","author":"Andy Haleblian","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2023-03-23T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2023-03-23T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"670983":{"id":"670983","type":"image","title":"Scene from earthquake devastation in Antakya, Hatay, T\u00fcrkiye.","body":null,"created":"1686858856","gmt_created":"2023-06-15 19:54:16","changed":"1686859579","gmt_changed":"2023-06-15 20:06:19","alt":"Photo of two men walking through a field of fallen buildings with most taken down to rubble.","file":{"fid":"253965","name":"earthquake-7899120_1280.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/06\/15\/earthquake-7899120_1280.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/06\/15\/earthquake-7899120_1280.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":343946,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2023\/06\/15\/earthquake-7899120_1280.jpg?itok=2HYClCfU"}}},"media_ids":["670983"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/chhs.gatech.edu","title":"Center for Health and Humanitarian Systems"}],"groups":[{"id":"1250","name":"Center for Health and Humanitarian Systems (CHHS)"},{"id":"1243","name":"The Supply Chain and Logistics Institute (SCL)"}],"categories":[{"id":"154","name":"Environment"}],"keywords":[{"id":"80631","name":"debris"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39511","name":"Public Service, Leadership, and Policy"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":["chhs@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
