When this was publicly revealed by the Department of Defense in the 1960's, massive public outrage ensued. At the time it seemed that the safest method for disposing chemical weapons was by dumping them into the ocean. The rationale was that if chemical agents were released in seawater, they would be diluted to safer levels and then be broken down.</p> Thu, 24 Apr 2014 12:40:32 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD & Alexandra Pires-Ménard, OSS Intern 2133 at /oss
