This report integrates and summarizes research on the fateand-transport properties of munition energetic compounds potentially migrating to groundwater. The goals of the report are to 1) review and summarize previous work; 2) identify data gaps; 3) provide research recommendations; and integrate conclusions from peer-reviewed research, results from investigations at military ranges, and consultations with explosives experts in the United States and Canada (Waterways Experiment Station, Army Environmental Center, Defence Research EstablishmentValcartier, and various universities) into a conceptual model for the transport of energetic compounds from the land surface to groundwater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
