Mustard vapor leaks at Deseret Chemical Depot






Mustard agent vapor leaking from a 55 mm projectile was detected Tuesday in a storage igloo at the Deseret Chemical Depot in Tooele County. Depot workers in protective clothing placed the munition in a larger airtight container for continued storage. The earth-covered storage structure is filtered and no vapor escaped into the environment, said depot spokeswoman Alaine Southworth.
