The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, a US Government department, has raised concern about health risks attached to breathing in the smoke. Rounds of the chemical were also used extensively by Russian troops in the December 1994 battle for Grozny, in Chechnya. The fact that the US had earlier denied using the material during operations in the Iraqi city hint at the controversial nature of deploying phosphorus against civilians. Though the UK and 80 other countries are signatories to protocol III, the United States is not.Īmerican forces have admitted using the chemical as a weapon, for illumination and to produce a smokescreen to mask troop movement during combat in Fallujah. While the use of the material is not specifically banned, it is covered by Protocol III of the 1980 Convention on Conventional Weapons, which prohibits use of the substance as an incendiary weapon against civilian populations and in air attacks against military forces in civilian areas. Though it can also be used to light up enemy positions, the munitions are also effective when used to firebomb opposing forces.

It is feared there was widespread use of the weapon, not just to target insurgent positions but in raids on houses and buildings.Įxperts at US military information service claim skin injuries caused by the substance are often 'deep and painful'. Witness accounts of combat in Fallujah, where a significant civilian population were living, claim the injured affected by phosphorus suffered horrendous burns. Weapons experts warn that when used as an incendiary, it can result in painful chemical burns - injuries which can often prove fatal.įurther problems are caused because the substance can stick to clothing or on the skin and continues to burn unchecked as particles are exposed to air. Similar to Napalm, the chemical substance is used in shells and grenades, igniting spontaneously at around 30C to produce an intense heat and thick pillars of smoke. It causes skin to melt away from the bone and can break down a victim's jawbone, but white phosphorus - known in Vietnam as Willie Pete - is still used by sections of the world's military.
