A NATO Advanced Research Workshop examining the problem of
more than 300,000 tone of chemical munitions dumped in the
North and Baltic Seas, the English Channel and the North
Atlantic Ocean will take place from 12-14 January, 1995 in
Kaliningrad (Moscow Region), Russia. These munitions, which
are not covered by the Chemical Weapons Convention, have
remained on the bottom of our oceans since the end of the
Second World War.
The workshop aims to:
- provide a comprehensive scientific analysis of the
problem, including consideration of chemical, biological and
technical aspects.
- estimate the degree of danger posed by the munitions in
their present condition;
- elaborate a concrete programme of follow-up actions
directed at mitigating the problem.
The conference will bring together approximately 40
scientists and experts working on aspects of the problem of
dumped chemical weapons - chemists, biologists, medical
experts, specialists in weapons destruction, and engineers -
from Russia, Germany, Latvia, The Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Sweden, UK, USA.
