The ECBC has offered its support to the Yuma Proving Ground study.

A team of researchers based with the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) was recently deployed to the Sonoran Desert in order to conduct studies on the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG).

This Chemical Biological Application and Risk Reduction (CBARR) team will offer laboratory services and monitoring for areas that are suspected to have serious contamination.
The YPG area is considered contaminated. Decades ago, military officials left old munitions, military equipment and similar debris in the YPG area as part of chemical weapons testing. The desert was useful for testing the chemical agents in unusually high temperatures. All of the debris will be inspected for contamination as the CBARR team begins to plan cleanup efforts for the future.
