I wouldn't. Neither mustard nor sarin gas is nearly as resilient to breakdown as DDT. They break down at a much faster rate and ought not to undergo such extreme bioaccumulation.
- fogihujy 6y agoFishermen still end up with the stuff in their nets, 75 years after WWII ended and it's still quite dangerous. Sure, DDT may stay a problem further into the future, but WWII munitions are still a very current issue.
- 1propionyl 6y agoYes, of course. No disagreement there. But one leaking barrel of DDT will affect an ecosystem for far longer than one leaking barrel of Sarin, and do more damage where it hurts the ecosystem the most by accumulating as it creeps up the trophic pyramid.
