The primary objective of this study was to characterize the fate and response of soil and biotic components of the terrestrial environment to aerosols, deposited brass, and brass in combination with fog oil. Important physical, chemical, and biotic aspects were investigated using an environmental wind tunnel. Air/surface deposition rates were determined for foliar and soil surfaces, both in the absence and presence of fog
The terrestrial transport, chemical fate, and ecological effects of hexachloroethane (HC) smoke were evaluated under controlled wind tunnel conditions. Primary objectives of this research are to characterize and assess the impacts of smoke and obscurants on: 1) natural vegetation characteristic of U.S. Army training sites in the U.
This report provides detailed information regarding a series of laboratory environmental fate and effects tests that were performed with the chemical agent simulant, 2-chloro-ethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES). Aerosols of CEES were generated within a Henderson chamber to allow exposure of plants, soils, and soil microbial communities. Additionally, aerosols were generated for exposure of freshwater aquatic organisms. Aerosols were characterized for mass concentration and particle size with chemical content of the ...
