No mustard gas found in Woodhall Spa soil and water testspublished at 11:49 Greenwich Mean Time 16 January 2018
Water and soil samples taken from woodland in Lincolnshire where deadly mustard gas was found last year have come back clear.
Image source, Lincolnshire PoliceThe Ministry of Defence (MoD) took more than 200 samples from Roughton Wood, near Woodhall Spa, following the discovery of 150 canisters (above) last October.
A total of 140 were recovered from the woods site, while 10 were found in nearby Stixwould Lake.
Scientists have found no trace of mustard gas or other chemical weapons.
But East Lindsey District Council says there's still work to do on the site before it can be returned to the owners and the area remains cordoned-off.
The authority says a second phase of the wider investigation is now under way, involving the mapping of ordnance which could have been left on land previously used by the MoD.
