Characterization of Emissions Produced by the Open Burning/Open Detonation of Complex Munitions

Abstract

This report presents the results of a series of test trials sponsored by SERDP to identify and quantify the emissions produced by the open burning (OB) and open detonation (OD) treatment of selected propellant, explosive, and pyrotechnic (PEP) energetic materials (EMs), The SERDP is an interagency effort which sponsored defense-related environmental research objectives to meet the needs of the DoD, the DOE, and the EPA, and Pyrotechnic Thermal Treatment Evaluation Test Facility, commonly referred to as the BangBox, located at West Desert Test Center (WDTC), U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah.
