When Parshall retired from DuPont in 1992, he joined the effort to destroy

National Research Council’s “Stockpile Committee,” he has played a role in advising the U.S. Army in its ongoing effort to safely destroy chemical weapons.[13] The Chemical Weapons Convention
called for the destruction of these chemicals, which generally fell into three types.
