One could only do that following an exhaustive analysis by the environmental agencies.
Seriously, a British Colonel once asked if we had any studies of the carcinogenic effects of a coating on the flechettes in the aerial rockets. Their human rights and enviromentalists were concerned that the flechettes might cause cancer if left in the bodies of those who survived flechette rocket attacks.
He was told that the best way to limit the occurance of cancer in those who were targeted by flechettes was to fire two rockets which would limit the survivors.
