Abstract
The possibility of identifying chemical warfare agents and their decomposit ion products by the arsenic concentration and the As/Sc fractionation coeff icient in reference to sedimentary rocks (for lewisite) and also by the Cl/ C and S/C element ratios (mainly, for yperite, or mustard gas) was consider ed using the example of bottom sediment samples from the Sea of Japan taken at the Vladivostok-Niigata profile.
