The Army is cleaning up some discovered phosgene munitions in Hawaii, reports the Honolulu Advertiser. More than seventy World War II projectiles were discovered a few years ago on an old range used for Stryker brigade training purposes. All except one were filled with phosgene, which was a main chemical warfare agent for the US Army during World War II.

"Hawaii has strict environmental laws on the islands and the relatively old chemicals would not pose an immediate threat to the local populace, so there wasn't any reason to rush. "
