Abstract

Development of various industries and consequently increase of waste production from these
industrial activities have created the environmental damages and public health problems.
With respect to the chronic environmental effects of these pollutants, their intensive and extensive Impacts have been affected and ignored in many occassions. Meanwhile, the effects of chemical
Warfare agents such as sulfur mustard SM, Arsenic agents lewisite and cyanide compounds with its terrible impacts during 8 years war between Iran and Iraq as a strong pollutant producing agent
Against the military forces and drinking waters in the field is noteworthy. These pollutants may cause severe environmentar problems such
as water pollutions, Due to their chemical propeties
and lack of proper treatment processes. Surveys Show that various methods have been suggested for the removal of arsenic and cyanide compounds from water and wastewater, but treatment of
water and wastewater wich contamnated by SM, has not been studied or the results of studies have
not been published. ln this review article chemical and physical properties
of SM and also
treatment procedure of polluted water and waste water with SM will be discussed..
