| Short description: |
Laboratory and field tests were conducted at Camp Edwards on the
Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape Cod to examine the
utility of passive diffusion sampling for long-term monitoring
of concentrations of perchlorate and explosive compounds in
ground water. The results of laboratory tests in which diffusion
samplers were submerged in containers filled with ground water
containing perchlorate, RDX
(hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine), and HMX
(octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine) indicate that
concentrations inside the diffusion samplers equilibrated with
concentrations in the containers within the 19-day-long test
period. The results of the field tests indicate generally good
agreement between the pumped and diffusion samples for
concentrations of perchlorate, RDX, and HMX. The concentration
differences indicate no systematic bias related to contaminant
type or concentration levels
