摘要
The Chemical Weapons Convention of 1992 does not regulate contaminations of soil and water by starting, by-products and degradation products of chemical warfare agents that do not pose an acute danger but have harmful long-term effects. The financial means for removing these risks are often missing. A solution for this problem could be the application of adapted microorganisms that are able to biodegrade organoarsenic compounds. Examinations with the model substance triphenylarsine have shown that such a degradation is basically possible.
