Preliminary Problem Definition Study of 48 Munitions-Related Chemicals. Executive Summary.

Abstract

Results are presented of a preliminary problem definition study on 48 munitions related chemicals. The purpose of this study was to determine the Army's responsibility for conducting further research on these chemicals to determine toxicological and environmental hazards, so that effluent standards can be recommended. Both civilian and military uses of the chemical were evaluated. This report outlines the methodology used in obtaining data on the 48 chemicals and the means of estimating losses to the environment.
