-Caveat Lector- Scientist reveals 'green' bombs for soldiers plan Tue, 4 Sep 2001 Soldiers could soon be carrying 'green grenades' filled with an environmentally friendly explosive. Scientists are developing new kinds weapons which do not pollute their surroundings. They will be just as effective at killing the enemy - but will not harm the environment or risk the health of the soldiers using them. Professor Thomas Klaptoke, a German researcher from Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, who is working on the materials, said: "It's a very important issue. "You have to keep in mind that shooting, missile launches and explosions, within the army and also the police force, are done 99.9% in training. "Neither do you want to pollute your own environment nor do you want to put your own policemen and soldiers at risk." The aim is to replace potentially toxic metals and chlorine-based chemicals with materials like nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. "All you get from these materials is virtually hot air," said Professor Klaptoke, speaking at the British Association science festival at Glasgow University. He said his team of researchers, working for the German Army, had patented at least two new environmentally friendly explosives. So far they had not been used in the field.
