class="entry"> <blockquote><p>American troops going home from Iraq after seven painful years are leaving behind a legacy that is literally toxic. </p> <p>An investigation by <i>The Times</i> in five Iraqi provinces has found that hazardous material from US bases is being dumped locally rather than sent back to America, in clear breach of Pentagon rules. </p> <p>North and west of Baghdad, engine oil is leaking from 55-gallon drums into dusty ground, open acid canisters sit within easy reach of children, and discarded batteries lie close to irrigated farmland. A 2009 Pentagon document shown to <i>The Times</i> by a private contractor working with US soldiers mentions “an estimated 11 million pounds [5,000 tonnes] of hazardous waste” produced by American troops. </p> <div style="border-right: lightgrey 1px solid; padding-right: 5px; border-top: lightgrey 1px solid; padding-left: 5px; float: right; padding-bottom: 5px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 15px; border-left: lightgrey 1px solid; width: 360px; padding-top: 5px; border-bottom: lightgrey 1px solid"> <h5><a title="20100614_times_contamination_article_screen_shot" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100618053051/http://www.flickr.com/photos/27086036@N02/4700647500/" class="external" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="20100614_times_contamination_article_screen_shot" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20100618053051im_/http://static.flickr.com/4042/4700647500_f720ba0896.jpg" border="0"/></a>Related Links</h5> <ul> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100618053051/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article7149546.ece" class="external" target="_blank">America must ensure legacy is not polluted </a></li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100618053051/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article7149545.ece" class="external" target="_blank">America must clean up its act </a></li> </ul></div> <p>But even this figure appears to be only a partial estimate. BrigadierGeneral Kendall Cox, who is responsible for engineering and infrastructure in Iraq, told <i>The Times</i> yesterday that he was in the process of disposing of 14,500 tonnes of oil and soil contaminated with oil. “This has accumulated over seven years,” he said. </p> <h5>Iraqis who have come into contact with some of the material suffer from rashes and blistering on their hands and feet. They also complain of gagging and coughing. Rats near sites where waste was dumped have died and lie next to soiled containers. </h5> <p>Abu Saif, a Fallujah scrap dealer who handles US military surplus, lifted up his trouser legs and raised his hands to show blistered skin. “I got this when I worked on what was supposed to be American scrap metal,” he said. “I checked with a doctor and he said these are the effects of dangerous chemicals.” </p> <p>Private recycling companies located within American bases have allegedly mixed hazardous material with ordinary scrap and passed it on to local dealers. “By the time we see this stuff it is too late,” said Abu Saif. </p> <p>Several workers at his and other yards have been injured while handling supposed scrap metal. “When they poured out what’s in these jerry cans they started coughing,” another yard owner said. “Some got rashes and many quit work. So when I get this kind of material now I bury it somewhere far away.” </p> <p>Some of the dumped materials have labels identifying them as US military property or come with paperwork from the Department of Defence. The Times discovered a 2008 e-mail from Allied Chemical of Morristown, New Jersey, to Pentagon officials warning of hazardous effects. </p> <p>A printout was attached to a discarded canister of sulphuric acid, a highly corrosive liquid used in wastewater treatment. It said of the substance: “Causes severe burns to skin and lungs … Get immediate medical attention … Use gas mask.” </p> <p>As the majority of US troops depart from Iraq this year, hundreds of bases are being closed and all hazardous material is supposed to be either returned to the US by ship via the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr or recycled in specially built facilities in northern and western Iraq. </p> <p>Brigadier-General Stephen Lanza, the US military spokesman in Baghdad, said: “We take this issue very seriously and want to solve the problem. There is a variety of ways in which this [dumping] could have happened. We are now putting a system into place. There is a lot of catching up to do.”</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100618053051/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article7149611.ece" class="external"
