Chemical Weapons: Disposal, Demilitarization, and Nonproliferation

The U.S. Army produced chemical weapons to deter the threat of chemical attacks from foreign forces. These obsolete weapons are now safely stored across the country while they await disposal. In addition, the U.S. Army is responsible for environmentally acceptable and safe disposition of former chemical agent production facilities and recovered chemical weapons. For years, Noblis staff have performed analyses of engineering process, costs, risk, test evaluations, logistics, acquisition, and plant safety. Our support includes evaluating alternative technologies; preparing feasibility studies; and analyzing safety, hazard, and mitigation.

Background on Chemical Warfare provides access to reference material that explains the chemistry and toxicity of chemical warfare agents, discusses chemical weapons and countermeasures, and addresses selected issues on the impact of chemical weapons on society and how society attempts to control these weapons. Certain information is included primarily as an aid to researchers, both professional and amateur, including links to other sites of interest concerning chemical warfare.
