Description:cdc:130550
Two categories of chemical warfare agents are found in the United States:
• Stockpiled agents.
• Nonstockpiled agents.
In 1986, enactment of PL 99-145 (50 USC 1521) mandated destruction of any stockpiles of lethal chemical agents. In 1997, the United States ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty. The United States thereby agreed to destroy any remaining stockpiles of chemical warfare agents no later than April 29, 2012 (revised date).
