Walsh, Marianne E. | Walsh, Michael R. | Collins, Charles M. | Racine, Charles H.
Detonations of military ordnance will leave various amounts of chemical residue on training ranges. Significant adverse ecological effects from these residues have not been documented except for ordnance containing white phosphorus. At a military training range in Alaska, USA, the deaths of thousands of waterfowl due to poisoning from white phosphorus ordnance prompted a two-decade-long investigation of the extent of the contamination, remediation technologies, and methods to assess and monitor the effectiveness of the remediation. This paper gives an overview of these investigations and provides the outcome of the remediation efforts.
