 | 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 |

| This report assesses the environmental fate and effects of mixed obscurant smokes comprised of White Phosphorus, Fog Oil (FO), and Hexachloroethane (HC) smokes. Overall, based on the environmental fate and effects of the individual obscurant smokes investigated previously significant synergistic effects are indicated in some instances. The chemistry of the FO and HC smokes following deposition to surfaces was generally consistent with their reported individual behavior. However, with WP, the ... |

| 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. |

| The terrestrial transport, chemical fate, and ecological effects of fog oil (FO) smoke obscurants were evaluated under controlled wind tunnel conditions. The primary objectives of this research program are to characterize and assess the impacts of smoke and obscurants on: 1) natural vegetation characteristic of U.S. Army training sites in the United States; 2) physical and chemical properties of soils representative of these training sites; and 3) soil microbiological and ... |

| An evaluation of the terrestrial transport, transformations and ecological effects of phosphorus red phosphorus-butyl rubber (RP/BR) smoke obscurant was performed at Pacific Northwest Laboratory. A similar evaluation using white phosphorus (WP) smoke/obscurant is currently proceeding. Future testing with other smokes are planned. The objective of this research program is to characterize the effects of smokes and obscurants on: (1) natural vegetation characteristic of U.S. Army training sites in United States; ... |

|
 | This report provides detailed information regarding a series of laboratory environmental fate and effects tests that were performed on two chemical agent simulants. Simulants are compounds whose properties closely approximate those of actual agents so they may be used in training and materiel development. The two simulants selected for testing, diisopropyl fluorophospate (DFP) and diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP), have divergent physical and chemical properties as well as concentration at which they ... |
