Characterization and Fate of Gun and Rocket Propellant Residues on Testing and Training Ranges: Interim Report 2
The Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory and Defence Research and Development Canada Valcartier have partnered to improve the understanding of the distribution and fate of propellant residues on military training ranges. Field studies were conducted to estimate the propellant residue mas...
