There are two potential risks associated with these and any underwater munitions: immediate detonation or exposure to toxic chemical agents and long-term prolonged exposure.
Recovery from the world’s waters, either by destroying them in place or lifting them from the water, can be more dangerous than leaving them as is, however.  Bryant’s work reveals that many underwater munitions have deteriorated over time and exposure.
Yet proximity to shore means they’re hardly hidden.
 
Reports of Louisiana shrimpers pulling up hissing barrels in their nets have led to suspicions that the shrimpers are exposing themselves to mustard gas. The incidents haven’t been confirmed as chemical weapons, but Bryant said he “can’t imagine what else would have been dumped in those canisters and begun to hiss.”
 
American shrimpers finding mustard gas drums in their fishing nets -- what will they find next?

I didn't know it, never heard of it before. If those gas cannisters woul rust through would the gas be sufficiently diluted  by the water to render it harmless?? Disposing of captured enemy munitions never entered my pea brain I reckon. POWDERMAN.
