Streamline Explosive Waste Testing: Combined EPA 8330, 7580, 6850 for DoD & Environmental Sites

Thousands of US sites face contamination from explosive waste as a result of production, handling, and disposal. Projects for DoD and environmental cleanup require fast, precise analysis.

ALS combines EPA-approved methods 8330, 7580, and 6850 for explosives, white phosphorous, and perchlorate – under one roof.


 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends Method 8330 to identify common explosives and their breakdown products. This method covers a range of explosives and byproducts, listed below. Additionally, specific projects may require testing for white phosphorus (Method 7580) and perchlorate (Method 6850).
