Edgewood Arsenal:

In World War I the United States had to rely on its allies, particularly the British, for chemical munitions. This situation was rapidly being corrected late in 1918. Manufacturing facilities in the Astoria section of New York City were by then capable of meeting all the requirements for protective equipment, and the production of toxic agents at the Edgewood Arsenal plants order was totaling 675 tons per week.
