Recently, abandoned chemical weapons (CWs) containing toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) manufactured during the World Wars (WWs) have raised concern not only for environmental but also safety reasons. Until the 1970s, chemical munitions and containers filled with CWAs were disposed of worldwide mainly by sea-dumping. After WWII, huge dumping operations took place in the Baltic Sea area and the Skagerrak Strait, where the loads of dumped CWs were approximately 50,000 and 170,000 tons, respectively. During the last 15 years, the sea-dumped munitions have been addressed in many international, multidisciplinary projects, which have led to growing knowledge on the chemical threat caused by munitions and thus raised public awareness on thi...
