Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes an extensive literature search that was conducted regarding the environmental fate of white phosphorus (WP) and applicable treatment technologies. The health risks associated with WP exposure, documented environmental effects, transformation processes, degradation products, and the potentially applicable treatment technologies will be identified and evaluated. WP contamination has been identified in soil and water at military training and munitions production facilities and is the third highest ranked contaminant of concern of the U.S. Army (Feige and Strauss 1994). Until recently, long-term environmental contamination from the explosion of projectiles containing WP was considered unlikely due to the thermodynamic instability of WP in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. However, Berkowitz et al. (1981), in assessing the potential hazards associated with the use of phosphorus smoke munitions, reported that WP residues in aquatic systems can be extremely toxic. Berkowitz stated that the deposition or washout of any undegraded WP, especially in small water bodies, may create exposure risks to resident finfish, invertebrates, and waterfowl, even if resultant WP concentrations are in the low ppb range. All those concerns motivated the Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) to designate WP for priority testing under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (BNA Chemical Regulation Daily, 1994). The is a congressionally mandated committee comprised of representatives from more than a dozen Federal regulatory and research agencies. The ITC was established to make recommendations to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the chemical substances and mixtures to which the EPA would give priority consideration for the promulgation of rules. These rules are presented in 32 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 184, subpart K.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preliminary evaluation was made of the pre-extraction analytical holding time for white phosphorus in surface water samples. The purpose of the study was to determine the feasibility of shipping samples from a field site to a laboratory prior to extraction into an organic solvent. An initial screening study using spiked waters from four sources (reagent-grade water, well water, river water and salt marsh water) showed that white phosphorus was stable in the two surface waters for approximately one week provided precautions were taken to minimize losses to volatilization. Significant losses were observed in the reagent-grade water and the well water matrices. Following an ASTM standard, a holding time of six days was determined for surface water samples maintained at 4 deg C. Holding time, Water analysis, Surface water, White phosphorus.

Download or read book Optimization of an Analytical Method for Determining White Phosphorus in Contaminated Sediments written by Susan Taylor and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analytical method was optimized to determine the concentration of white phosphorus (WP) in sediments contaminated by smoke munitions. The method uses isooctane as the extractant and a gas chromatograph as the determinative instrument. Both field-contaminated samples and spiked sediments were analyzed and results on the spiked samples indicate that the method has a better than 80% recovery rate for WP. The detection limit for the method is 0.88 microg/kg of soil. The WP recovery is sensitive to the water content of the sediments and to prolonged shaking. Fluidizing the wet sediments by adding water to saturated soil greatly increases WP recovery. Since field samples are contaminated with WP particles of various sizes, subsamples may not accurately represent the concentration of the sample as a whole ...
