At the end of World War I, there were four million shells in the United States inventory. World War I ordnance such as the Livens projectile and Stokes mortar were outmoded by World War II, resulting in burials and dumping. Leaking ordnance was a continual problem. Add to that the 1,343,728 World War II chemical bombs, and the 13,550,613 World War II chemical mortar rounds not used in World War II, and the probability of substantial buried chemical weapons becomes a certainty, in addition to the tremendous numbers of currently stockpiled ordnance. Also, even current inventory ordnance would have an occasional leaking or damaged munition. In addition, experimental ordnance, grenades, rockets, candles, spray tanks, smoke pots, and cylinders are also burial candidates. Where is the question state and local regulators need to repeatedly ask. 

Manuals containing pictures of common military explosives, fuses, and munitions suspected at a site should be studied careMly by the excavation crews. Also, some explosives, toxic smoke candles, and CAIS vials were canned and may look like any other garbage in a landfill. 

The Japanese also used mustard for filling shells and bombs, primarily as a 50 50 mixture with Lewisite to lower the freezing point. Examples of Japanese chemical munitions are Artillery shells, 150 mm and 105 mm and Mortar rounds 90 mm, filled with either mustard gas /Lewisite mixture or diphenylcyanoarsine, and Artillery shells 75 mm filled with either phosgene or diphenylcyanoarsine. In addition there were 15 kg and 60 kg aerial bombs, toxic smoke candles and canisters filled with diphenylcyanoarsine. [12] Japan is estimated to have produced a total of around 1.7 million CW bombs and shells, and 5.7 million chemical candles and grenades. One source quotes the total amount of chemical munitions produced by Japan, regardless of agent fill, as approximately 7.4 million.[20] As already stated in an earlier paragraph, Chinese sources estimate that approximately 2 million of these rounds were abandoned in Northern China.[7]...
