An extensive investigation at the Camp Edwards, Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) demonstrates that assessment of groundwater and soil contamination at military ranges can be limited primarily to explosive-related compounds such as RDX, HMX, perchlorate, TNT and their transformation products. A modified analytical method is recommended to expand the list of explosives and to improve the detection limits. Analyses of metals, VOCs, SVOCs, and TICs are unnecessary. Soil samples may require the analyses of PAHs and PCNs for burn areas. Camp Edwards, as one of the few military ranges that have been exhaustively investigated for contaminants, is an ideal point of departure for evaluating other ranges. The permeable site soils promote leaching of contaminants and inhibit biotic and abiotic transformations. Moreover, the site has experienced an unusual extent of activities in its more than ninety years of active use. The recommendations in this report are based on data obtained for more than 200 analytes from more than 15,000 environmental samples.
在马萨诸塞州军事保留地（MMR）的爱德华兹营地进行的广泛调查表明，对军事靶场的地下水和土壤污染评估主要可限于与爆炸物相关的化合物，如黑索金（RDX）、奥克托今（HMX）、高氯酸盐、三硝基甲苯（TNT）及其转化产物。建议采用一种改进的分析方法，以扩大爆炸物清单并提高检测限。对金属、挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）、半挥发性有机化合物（SVOCs）和总无机碳（TICs）的分析没有必要。对于燃烧区域的土壤样本，可能需要分析多环芳烃（PAHs）和多氯萘（PCNs）。作为少数几个对污染物进行过详尽调查的军事靶场之一，爱德华兹营地是评估其他靶场的理想出发点。该场地的渗透性土壤促进了污染物的淋溶，并抑制了生物和非生物转化。此外，该场地在其九十多年的活跃使用期内经历了不同寻常的活动范围。本报告中的建议基于从超过15,000个环境样本中获取的200多种分析物的数据。
