Validation of Passive Sampling Devices for Monitoring of Munitions Constituents in Underwater Environments

Abstract

This demonstration focused on field validation of commercially-available passive sampling devices (PSDs), specifically Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (POCIS), that had recently been optimized for detection and quantification of MCs under environmentally-relevant conditions in laboratory-based studies (e.g., Belden et al. 2015). The DoD has custody and responsibility for human safety and environmental stewardship for coastal ranges, many of which have underwater sites that are known to contain underwater military munitions (UWMM), such as discarded military munitions (DMM) and unexploded ordnance (UXO), as a result of historic military activities.
