Chemical demilitarization is the process of safely destroying chemical weapons to eliminate their threat to public health and the environment. This involves various methods, including neutralization, incineration, and chemical hydrolysis, which break down toxic substances into harmless materials. The goal of chemical demilitarization is to comply with international treaties, such as the Chemical Weapons Convention, which aims to prevent the use of chemical weapons. Countries with stockpiles of these weapons are required to develop and implement plans for their destruction, ensuring that they do not pose a risk to society or the environment.
