The Chernobyl Disaster caused a lot of damage to the environment.
Nuclear radiation does not usually affect vegetation much, but over two square miles (five square kilometers) of forest trees were killed outright. There are many square miles of land that are unusable. Animals were killed off in large numbers miles away. Children were not permitted in cities seventy miles (133 km.) away from the plant during the summer for fear they would play outdoors, where they would be exposed to poisons in the soil. Mushrooms grown throughout the Ukraine were too radioactive to eat. Herds of agricultural animals were rendered unfit for any use nearly a thousand miles (1600 km) away. The economic cost of the damage has been estimated as high as a trillion U. S. 1995 dollars. The environmental loss cannot be calculated.

What impact does brass have on the environment?
Some brass has lead in it. The negative effect of lead on the environment is well documented. If lead gets into the water or in your body it can and will cause a number of problems as it is deadly. In your body it will cause brain damage or uncontrollable bleeding depending on how it entered your body. If it leaves the brass quickly it can cause immediate damage to your environment. An example would be if you were to shoot a hole in your air conditioner! The lead would leave the brass at a very high rate of speed and change your environment immediately. Come to think of it the same is true regarding brain damage.
