Residual organic compounds environmental samples

Fractionation of Residue Organic Compounds from Aqueous Environmental Samples... 

Chemical and biological analyses of trace organic mixtures in aqueous environmental samples typically require that some type of isolation-concentration method be used prior to testing these residues the inclusion of bioassay in a testing scheme often dictates that large sample volumes (20-500 L) be processed. Discrete chemical analysis only requires demonstration that the isolation technique yields the desired compounds with known precision. However, chemical and/or toxicological characterization of the chemical continuum of molecular properties represented by the unknown mixtures of organics in environmental samples adds an extra dimension of the ideal isolation technique ... 

Following the destruction of each bomblet at RMA, neutralent and rinsate samples were tested by the on-site Environmental Analytical Laboratory for residual GB, metals, GB decomposition products, residual explosives, and volatile and semivolatile organic compounds. Test results and analytical procedures were provided to the committee (Foster Wheeler, 2001). The composition of the neutralent for a representative munition (bomblet 3) is shown in column 4 of Table 2-2. These data are based on a single analytical sample of the neutralent. For all six bomblets, the ranges of both neutralent and water rinse components are presented in Appendix C, Table C-1.
