Officials say that some Orlando, Fla. , homeowners are living on land that was once used by the Air Force as a World War II-era gas and decontamination range, which means that some people might have mustard gas in their yards or under their homes. About 2,100 acres in Orange County will be inspected by Army Corps of Engineer workers looking for mustard gas, other toxic chemicals and unexploded bombs. The affected area includes the Englewood Park development in Azalea Park.
