Abstract
Does the post-WWII burial at sea of chemical weapons still pose a human and environmental risk? While World War I (WWI) is most associated with widespread use of chemical weapons before 1950, significant arsenals were stockpiled in Europe during WWII. Many of these in particular were dumped i... NOAAKeywords
