... WASTE STREAM HANDLING Chemical demilitarization waste streams that require special treatment are gas effluents, metal parts and containers, salts from the neutralization of acid gases, and liquids. Gas Effluents The risks to surrounding communities from gas effluents of destruction operations can be controlled and reduced by several approaches: use of activated-carbon beds (charcoal filters)
