"Unexploded military ordnance and highly toxic chemical munitions, some dating back to World War I, are a worldwide concern - especially at closed military bases that are being redeveloped for housing or civilian use. Experts estimate that the United States alone could spend between $50 and 250 billion dollars to clean up these sites, many of which are now in densely populated residential areas." "Richard Albright's Cleanup of Chemical and Explosive Munitions is an invaluable tool for these very communities who find they must undertake the daunting task of cleaning up old military ordnance ranges and explosive and chemical weapons dumpsites at their back door. The book explains what, how, and where to look for munitions and their residual contamination."--Jacket
