At the facilities where these agents are being destroyed, effluent gas streams pass through large activated carbon filters before venting to ensure that any residual trace vapors of chemical agents and other pollutants do not escape into the atmosphere in exceedance of regulatory limits. All the carbon will have to be disposed of for final closure of these facilities to take place. In March 2008, the Chemical Materials Agency asked the National Research Council to study, evaluate, and recommend the best methods for proper and safe disposal of the used carbon from the operational disposal facilities. This volume examines various approaches to handling carbon waste streams from the four operating chemical agent disposal facilities. The approaches that will be used at each facility will ultimately be chosen bearing in mind local regulatory practices, facility design and operations, and the characteristics of agent inventories, along with other factors such as public involvement regarding facility operations. 606 $aChemical weapons disposal$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCarbon, Activated 606 $aNerve gases$xFinishing$xWaste disposal 606 $aHazardous waste sites 615 0$aChemical weapons disposal$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aCarbon, Activated. 615 0$aNerve gases$xFinishing$xWaste disposal. 615 0$aHazardous waste sites. 676 $a623.445 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955348203321 996 $aDisposal of activated carbon from chemical agent disposal facilities$94353733 997 $aUNINA
