Army Unable to Locate Aberdeen Chemical Leak Source
The U.S. Army has not yet determined the source of a mustard agent leak detected Wednesday morning in a storage building at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, the Baltimore Sun reported (see GSN, June 24).
“Finding the leak may be difficult because it could be as small as a pinhole,” said installation spokesman George Mercer. “The real issue now is finding the leak and evaluating what to do with the container,” he added.
No mustard agent has been detected outside the storage building, Mercer said (Patrick Tyler, Baltimore Sun, June 25).
