Managing Contaminants on Ranges

Military testing and training requires the firing of live ammunition, which can result in contamination of operational ranges by toxic metals and munitions constituents. SERDP and ESTCP efforts are addressing the unique challenges these ranges present for characterization, control, and treatment technologies.
