The Use of Field Deployable Instrumentation for the Monitoring of Munitions Constituents in Groundwater

Abstract

Field portable instrumentation can provide near real time analysis of munitions constituents in water. Quantitative Agreement for Most Analytes. TNB was positively biased possibly due to elevated TNT. RDX is difficult by thermal separation methods. Limited to screening level data without further refinement. Method development and instrument optimization are critical.
