Edgewood Maryland sits adjacent to Aberdeen Proving Ground and the Edgewood Area — historically one of the most significant chemical weapons production and testing sites in the US. Chemical weapons produced at Edgewood were used in World War I and tested on American soldiers during World War II in classified experiments. The modern Edgewood Chemical Biological Center continues defensive chemical and biological research. Harford County residents in Edgewood should maintain specific awareness of chemical emergency protocols and evacuation routes.
