Guide for Characterization of Sites Contaminated with Energetic Materials
5
sion of energetic compounds in the environment. These various scenarios lead to
different patterns of contamination and therefore define a need for a general
guide that is applicable in all cases. We have identified the following general
types of ranges that could potentially be contaminated by EM:
Firing ranges
- Small-arms ranges
- Artillery ranges
- Anti-tank ranges
- Tank/armored personnel carrier (APC) ranges (battleruns)
- Grenade ranges
- Steel cutting ranges
- Woodcutting ranges
- Concrete cutting ranges
- Cratering ranges
