The UN weapons inspectors hired a US firm to conduct geophysical investigations during the time period from approximately 1997-98 for possible buried items in Iraq. Included among their "finds"were areas where the geophysical people's electromagnetics determined there were dumped chemicals. It was clear that part of the Iraqi's method for beating the system was to dump/bury suspect items before the weapons inspectors could find them.

The geophysics people described the Iraq country side pristine as compared to lots of buried wires, pipes, etc. in the US.
