1.8 million gallons of wastewater used to neutralize the deadly nerve gas VX is being transported by the U.S. Army on a 1,000-mile trip from Indiana to Texas. The tanker trucks are scheduled to drive through eight states: Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. The watchdog group Chemical Weapons Working Group attempted to block the shipment because of health and environmental concerns. The Army initially tried to send the chemical waste to be treated in Ohio and New Jersey, but community opposition blocked the shipment. Activists in Port Arthur, Texas, are now trying to stop the Army from incinerating the waste in their town.
