Three types of field analytical methods designed for the detection of explo-

sive compounds--colorimetric, immunoassay, and gas chromatography--are

covered in this report. The relative merits and disadvantages of these methods are

discussed along with guidelines to enhance effective testing, ensure occupational

health and safety, provide accurate and reliable results, and reduce total

analytical costs of future sampling campaigns. These field analytical methods are

described in detail in Appendixes H through J.
