Chemical weapons found at Schofield


Star-Bulletin reports and Advertiser reports that the Army has continued to unearth discarded chemical weapons at Schofield Barracks.
A coalition of environmental and Native Hawaiian rights groups last month called for an independent investigation and disclosure by the Army of depleted uranium munitions use in Hawai'i after the material was found at Schofield.
[...]
"We've always been concerned about the environmental health impacts of military activity here," said Kyle Kajihiro, program director for the American Friends Service Committee. "If there are more chemical weapons in the Schofield area or in any of the ranges, that would be a serious concern that they be cleaned up to the safest level possible, and that the public be informed about what's going on."
