Description
Summary:The goal of this problem definition study was to assess the Army's responsibility for conducting further investigations into the toxicological and environmental hazards of twenty chemicals associated with the production of primers and tracers. These chemicals are used in various primer, tracer, igniter and pyrotechnic formulations as oxidizers, initiators, coloring agents and fuels. These formulations are mixed and loaded at various currently operational Army Ammunition Plants including Lake City, Lone Star, Longhorn AAP and Pine Bluff Arsenal. Carbon black, graphite and barium nitrate are also used in propellant manufacture at Radford AAP. See also Volume 1, AD-A066 307.
