Ammunition explosives

For onsite analysis, the examination of the vast number of samples necessitates the use of quick, reliable, field portable equipment that can rapidly, quantitatively verify the many chemically different types of ammunition, explosives, and pyrotechnics. The most common suite of analytes to detect is large, consisting of very chemically different compounds and usually occurs at trace levels in complex environmental matrices. This suite encompasses smokeless powders, black powders, and numerous propellant and energetic formulations. Detection should also be sought for common decomposition products of these explosives such as the methylanalines, aminonitrotoluenes, nitrotoluenes, mono- and dinitoroglycerines, and the nitrobenzenes under on-site conditions.

Destruction of Ammunition, Explosives, Propel-lonts and Pyrotechnics. Ammunition, expls, etc which has deteriorated and cannot be economically salvaged and ammo which is dangerous to unload or a menace to life or property must be destroyed. This can be done by burning, by chemical means, by explosion (detonation) or by dumping at sea or other large bodies of water. No dumping should be done into waste places, pits, marshes, shallow streams or inland waterways...
