Range Contaminants
Concern over the release of munitions constituents (MC) on ranges and the potential for off-site migration endangers the long-term sustainability of ranges. To ensure the long-term viability of operational ranges while protecting human health and the environment, SERDP and ESTCP have funded a significant body of basic and applied research to improve understanding of the MCs resulting from military training activities on ranges and to develop better sampling methodologies applicable for ranges, as well as technologies to treat or contain MCs in soil and groundwater.

Method 8330B: Nitroaromatics, Nitroamines, and Nitrate Esters by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)Guidance Method 8330B is intended for the trace analysis of explosives and propellant residues by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a dual wavelength UV detector. This web site provides general information on how to perform Method 8330B, which a laboratory can use as a basic starting point for generating its own detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). |
