                              EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

     The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School  (USADACS) was tasked
by the U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command (AMCCOM),
AMSMC-DSM-D, Demilitarization and Technology Office, to  identify  alternative
demilitarization technology to open burning/open denotation  (CB/OD) . Statement
of work  (SOW) for this study was to analyze the existing, emerging, and
theoretical technologies that would be applicable for the demilitarization of
the single manager for conventional ammunition  (SMCA) managed munitions.

     The study approach was to review past demilitarization  studies, reports,
conduct on-site visits, and review existing and emerging technologies.  The
final report consist of all the data ccrtpiled.

     Presently, the expertise for demilitarization of the SMCA-managed  items
can be identified in four Army offices; AMCCOM, AMSMC-DSM-D  (Demilitarization
and Technology Office) and AMSMC-DSM-ME  (Ammunition Peculiar Equipment  [APE]),
Rock Island, IL; Tooele Army Depot  (TEAD), SDSTE-AEP-T  (Ammunition Engineering
Directorate  [AED])/ Tooele, UT; and, USADACS, SMCAC-DEN  (Engineering
Division), Savanna, IL.

     With only a very few exceptions, the expertise to demilitarize munitions
falls within the Department of Defense  (DOD) complex.  There are  a few
consulting firms with personnel who, in most cases, gained their  ammunition
demilitarization knowledge while working within the Government
demilitarization community.  However, they are the exception more than  the
rule.  In the past, private industry and the academic community have been
contracted by the Government to study the problem of the growing
demilitarization stocks, and/or the technology to dispose of the  same.

     There is no panacea, or single demilitarization method  or  technology,
that will satisfy all of the requirements to dispose of  the  existing
demilitarization stockpile.  Even if OB/CD is permitted  to continue, there are
items that cannot be disposed of safely in this manner;  e.g., hand grenades
and improved conventional munitions  (ICMs).  Environmental laws prohibit  OB/OD
of some of the smokes and dyes that are fillers in some  pyrotechnics.
However, there is now available approved equipment that  can  reduce the  size,
convert, and/or dispose of a large portion of this demilitarization stockpile
if funded to do so.

     All demilitarization and disposal operations are required  by law to
comply with Environmental Protection Agency  (EPA) and Resource  Conservation
and Recovery Act  (RCRA) regulations.

     The Joint Services Regulation  (NAVSEAINST 8027.1, AFLC/AFSC  Regulation
136-5, and AMC Regulation 75-2), establishes the joint demilitarization and
disposal policies, responsibilities, and procedures relating to requirements
governing all new or modified ammunition items including propellants,
explosives, and pyrotechnics  (PEP) and chemical components.  An objective of
this regulation is to assure that demilitarization and disposal considerations
are an integral part of the planning and decision making processes  for  all new
or modified ammunition items.

-------
     The DOD Regulation 5160.65-M requires the demilitarization and disposal
procedures be incorporated into the design and development of new or modifiea
anrnurution items.  It also states that SMCA provide funding for the
demilitarization and disposal technology, as well as preparation of the depot
maintenance woric requirements  (DMWR) ,

     AMC-R 755-8, requires that a local standing operating procedure  (SOP) be
prepared, reviewed, and approved in accordance with AM>R "700-107, prior to
beginning any demilitarization operation.

     AM3-R 385-100 (Safety Manual) states that an adequate SOP be developed
and approved prior to starting any demilitarization and disposal operation.

     The APE that is available is listed in TM 43-0001-47, May 1989.  There
are over 100 different pieces of equipment that are specifically designed to
aid in the maintenance or demilitarization of ammunition.  At present, there
are approximately 25 related items under development.

     The DNWR is the basic planning document for developing the SOP and
conducting the actual demilitarization operation.  If special equipment is
required to perform a demilitarization function, that need will surface during
the writing and review of the DM"JR, and a need statement will be issued.

     There has been at least 11 demilitarization/disposal studies conducted in
the past with coverage ranging from the specific services needs, to the
overall DOD problem of the growing demilitarization inventories.  Among these
11 reports, the one that stands out, is the SMCA Blue Ribbon Panel Report on
Ammunition Demilitarization, Volumes I, II, & III, (Written in 1986).  This
report eloquently stated the overall demilitarization/disposal problem for
SMCA-managed items.  The findings of this report are still valid with only
minor changes in inventory quantities.

     The Defense Technical Information Center  (DTIC)  was queried for reports
in their files that pertain to the demilitarization/disposal of PEP and other
related topics.  By the selection of the key words and/or phrases used, a
discriminate list of reports were extracted from the DTIC files.  A total of
172 abstracts of reports relating to the technology of interest were reviewed,
and of these, 28 reports were determined applicable to this study.

     To-date, a total of 99 reports pertaining to the Demilitarization
Alternatives to OB/OD has been reviewed and hard copies are on file at
USADACS.

     At the outset of this study, 20 locations were identified as candidates
for site visits to obtain demilitarization technology information. This report
includes 16 Government and 12  industry sites that were visited.

     The demilitarization technologies are broken down for study purposes into
11 main technology families. A brief description of technologies within these
families are listed as follows:

-------
     Hotwater:  A process that uses either a stream or jet of low
     or high pressure hot water to remove energetic materiel from a
     munition case.

     High Pressure:  A process that uses a stream or jet of high
     pressure water, up to 55,000 psi, to remove energetic materiel from a
     munition case.

     Solvent:  A process that uses some liquid to dissolve energetic materiel
     out of a munition case.

     Cryogenic Dry Mash:  A process that uses a high pressure blast of gaseous
     nitrogen, at cryogenic temperatures to embrittle and fracture large
     rocket motor  (LRM) cast propellant into a granular form.
Meltouti
     Autoclave:  An enclosed chamber where heat can be applied to the exterior
     of a munition to melt out the filler.

     Induction Heating:  A process that induces heat into the metal parts of a
     munition by use of an induced electrical current.

     Microwave:  A method to remove energetic material from a munition by
     melting the filler with a microwave beam.

     Steamout:  A process that directly applies steam to the energetic
     material to meltout the filler from the munition case.
Reclamation:  Any process that is used solely to reclaim, recycle or convert
components and/or filler into a usable commodity for reuse or sale.

Controlled Incineration:

     Air Curtain:  A bum pit with a continuous blast of air blown over the
     top of the fire that entrains the effluent from the combustion and
     recycles it back into the flame.

     APE 1236 £ 2210:  The standard military rotary furnaces.

     Chain Grate:  A static furnace with a "ladder" type metal endless belt
     that traverses the furnace hearth.

     Contaminated Waste Processor  (CNP):  A "car bottom" furnace with a
     transportable hearth.

     Explosive Waste Incinerator  (EWI):  An improved APE 1236 which has a
     different feed and pollution abatement system.

-------
     Flashing Furnace:  A furnace used for decontaminating metal parts; it car.
     have any movable device to throughput the selected items.

     Fluidized Bed Incinerator (FBI):  A furnace that uses high velocity air
     to entrain solids in a highly turbulent cotibustion chamber.

     Botary Kiln:  A rotary furnace that is refractory lined and generally not
     used for metal parts.

     Static Incinerator:  Any type of furnace that may or may not have moving
     devices used to throughput or manipulate the material to be processed;
     e.g., "car bottom," "walking beam," "ram feed," etc.

     Static Firing LFM:  The motors are restrained and functioned and the
     exhaust effluent is discharged to the atitosphere.
Disasssrblv:
     Cryofracture:  A process that uses liquid nitrogen to embrittle the
     munition case to enable it to be fractured prior to incineration.

     Waterjet Abrasive Cutting:  Another way to shear, cut, saw, etc., and can
     be either used in the destructive or reclamation process.

     Laser Grooving:  A process that removes metal by cutting with a laser
     beam and can be used either in the destructive or reclamation process.

Electrochemical Peduction:  Demilitarization process based on the chemical
reaction caused by the electric current to convert energetic materiels and
toxic chemicals to inert and/or useful products; for example TNT
electrochemical reduction to Trianio Toluene.

(Chemical Conversion:  Demilitarization process based- on the chemical reaction
which converts the energetic materiels and toxic chemicals to inert and/or
useful products; for example conversion of FS munition to fertilizer.

Detonation Chanter:  A chamber that contains all the products from the
functioning of an explosive device.

Super/Sub Critical Extraction:  A process that uses a liquid under pressure to
dissolve energetic materiel and when the pressure is reduced the liquid turns
into a gas and the dissolved energetic materiel is precipitated out.

Oxidation;  A turbulent aqueous process that uses heat and air  in a high
pressure reactor to reduce low concentrations of energetic materiel to it's
natural state (rusting).

Biodecrradation:  A process that uses micro-organisms to consume the energetic
materiels and the effluent is inert.

-------
Demilitarization Alternatives Study Status:

     By direction of the USADACS Director, reports that are analogous to
demilitarization technology will continue to be ccrpiled and retained for
future use.

     There has been on-site visits to 28 different firms or agencies resulting
in 28 separate technologies.  Fifty-three descriptions have been ccrtpilecl for
this report.  A letter plus a technology package was sent to 22 different
firms or agencies requesting their review and input to their respective
technologies.  There has been 19 formal responses which represent 50
individual descriptions.

     Volume I contains a comprehensive review of the conpiled data.  The
information has been evaluated and a recommendation for technology development
efforts- is presented to ensure safe, efficient, and environmentally sound
demilitarization technology program.  Volume II contains information that was
obtained during the on-site visits, from the literature search, and various
reports.  Volume III consist of pertinent information that supports the study.


Conclusions and Becomendaticns:

     We as individuals not only have a legal but also a moral obligation to be
responsible stewards of our environment.  We are governed by the EPA
regulations not to pollute our environment.  We are also mandated, by the RCRA
to reclaim and/or recover our resources.  We being a government
agency, and individually being inhabitants of this earth, must find
environmentally acceptable methods for the reduction/elimination of the
growing inventory of munitions that are no longer suitable for use.  This
demilitarization inventory is approaching 200,000 short tons and is generating
an average rate of 23,000 short tons per year.

     There are presently in place existing technologies that could reduce this
staggering demilitarization inventory by over 50 percent and still comply with
both EPA and JOA requirements.  There are other emerging technologies that
show promise of reducing overall operating costs when compared to some of the
current demilitarization processes.

     There has to be a cohesive ccranitment for the reduction of the demil
inventory to a manageable level.  It is imperative that the SMCA organization,
responsible for the demil inventory, be adequately funded both for
demilitarization operations and for demonstrations of improved technologies.
Improved funding is essential to establish the systematic scheduling for
evaluations of the demil stockpile and for demonstration of technologies.

                          CHAPTER 1 -
    Intrpdjyct Ion

    1.  The demilitarization alternatives study was initiated to investigate
alternative technologies to OB/CO.  If in the future OB/CO is curtailed or
prohibited, other means or processes must be found to reduce or eliminate the
staggering demilitarization stockpile.  The demilitarization stockpile
generates an average rate of 23,000 short tons a year.  Due to a funding
shortage for the disposal of the munitions in the stockpile, inventories range
from a 5-year low of 161,000 in December 1985 to 192,000 short tons in
December 1988.

    2.  This study investigates and reviews the past and existing
technologies, as well as evaluates and discusses the potential emerging and
conceptual technologies that pertains to the overall demilitarization/disposal
operation. The technologies are divided into 11 main families.  There has been
a total of 53 process descriptions compiled; 11 were classified as past
Developmental efforts, 29 existing, 11 emerging, and 2 conceptual
technologies.  There are only a few complete demilitarization processes which
will treat the entire munition.  Most of these technologies investigated
constitute only a part, or a step/ in the complete throughput of munitions in
a demilitarization operation.

    3.  The two fundamentally opposite approaches for processing materials in
the demilitarization/disposal program for SMCA-managed items is the
reclamation and destructive process.  The washout, meltout, super/sub critical
extraction, and the use of recovered energetic materials as a fuel supplement,
obviously are some of the reclamation processes.  The controlled incineration
in a furnace, biodegradation, catalytic oxidation, electrochemical reduction,
chemical conversion, and contained detonation belong in the destructive
category.  However, a complete demilitarization process may use a combination
of the reclamation and destructive techniques to accomplish the operation.

    4.  For detailed information on each group of technologies refer to the
proceeding chapters.  Assessments of these technologies and the recommended
funding requirements for the government to pursue the several technology
studies will be covered in Volume I of this report and will be released only
to the applicable Government agencies.

    1.  U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School was tasked by AMCCOM,
AMSMC-DSM-D, the Demilitarization and Technology Office, to identify
alternative demilitarization technologies to OB/OD.  The SOW of this study was
to encompass the existing, emerging, and theoretical technologies that would
be applicable to the demilitarization of SMCA-managed munitions.  The allotted
timeframe, when initiating this project, was 18 months with several In-Process
Reviews  (IPR) to be given with the final report due the third quarter of
FY 90,  The funding to perform the assigned task was received by USADACS on
29 September 1989.  The preliminary work began on 3 October 1989.


                                   1-1

-------
    2.  The SCW included the development of a cotputer data base file of the
technologies investigated during the study period.  U.S. Army Defense
Ammunition Center and School plans to fceep this data base up-dated as the
present emerging technologies are evolved into viable new processes that
relate to the demilitarization/disposal program.


C.  Study Approach

    1.  The study approach adopted by USADACS was to review and accumulate a
file of existing pertinent literature, conduct an on-site evaluation of
existing technologies, investigate applicable emerging and conceptual
technologies, and include said information in a final report.  The information
obtained on the technologies has been divided in to four categories/ past,
existing, emerging, and conceptual.  A separate chapter has been devoted to
each category.

    2.  As part of the literature search, DTIC was Queried for reports in
their files that pertain to the demilitarization/disposal of PEP and related
topics.  By the selection of the key words or phrases used, a discriminate
list of reports were extracted from DTIC.  A total of 172 abstracts of reports
relating to the technology of interest was reviewed; 28 reports were selected
and ordered.  There has been 99 related reports, or other literature
pertaining to the OB/CD Demilitarization Alternatives Study reviewed.  A copy
of these reports are on file at USADACS for future reference.  There has been
a minimum of 11 studies on demilitarization/disposal studies done in the past
which range from specific service's need to the overall DCD problem of the
growing demilitarization inventory.  A lists of the compiled reports are
recorded in appendix A of this volume.

    3.  There has been on-site visits to 16 Government agencies and 12 private
firms during this study.  The information gathered from the Government
agencies ranged from preliminary studies (concepts) that were underway to
operational munition disposal processes.  Whereas, the information gathered
from the 12 private firms were mainly on processes that were either developed
under a specific Government contract or in-house technologies developed for
that firms demilitarization/disposal needs.  A list of on-site visits is
enclosed in appendix B of this volume.

    4.  The data that was assembled from the available technical reports and
the applicable technology from the on-site visits were compiled.  A data sheet
was then prepared on each piece of equipment or process reviewed.  These data
sheets were sent to each agency or firm, that has the expertise in each
particular field, for their concurrence.  A majority of these data sheets were
returned with the agencies or firms endorsement.


    5.  All appendixes related to this study are under separate cover  (titled

B.  PAST TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTAL EFFORTS
        a.  Solvent  (Toluene)

        The Ammunition Equipment Directorate at TEAD, Tooele, UT conducted a
feasibility study FY 79-80 to recover RDX and TNT from Composition B loaded
munitions using toluene as the washout/recovery medium.  A pilot model
washout/reclamation apparatus was designed, fabricated, and tested at TEAD.
The organic solvent washout/reclamation technology utilizes three mutually
beneficial physical/chemical principles; (1) the solvation action of a warm
solvent,  (2) the high pressure mining action of liquid, and  (3) the selective
solubility of an organic solvent.  The solvation action of the warm organic
solvent augments the high pressure mining action of the solvent, resulting in
a very rapid washout of the binary explosive from its casing.  The selective
solubility of the organic solvent will separate the binary explosive into
separate components, resulting in ijmediate and effective recovery of the
soluble and the insoluble particles.  The test results showed that,  (1) the
rapid washout of Composition B was possible, and  (2) the immediate and
effective separation/recovery of RDX and TNT was achievable.  Figure 1  shows
a process flow diagram.

        b.  Solvent (Methylene Chloride Methanol)

        The Naval Weapons Support Center Crane (NWSCC), Ordnance Engineering
Department, has developed a pilot plant process for the ecological
demilitarization of MK 24 and MK 45 Aircraft Parachute Flares (APT).
        The first series of operations consist of separating the illuminating
composition from the remainder of the hardware.  The first step is removal of
the fuze for the MK 45 APF.  This step is not required for the MK 24 APF as
the fuze is removed in the next step.  The next step consists of pushing the
candle and parachute assembly (candle, fuze, parachute assembly for the MK 24
APF) out of the outer aluminum tube.  Then the entire unit is hydraulically
clamped around its circumference and a hydraulic cylinder pushes the pay load
out one end of the unit.  The steel cable is then cut, thus separating the
parachute assembly from the candle assembly.
        The next series of operations are performed to separate the
illuminating candle from the cardboard tube and metal end caps  (plastic and
wooden end caps for the MK 24).  This operation is performed remotely, using
two industrial band saws together with scoring/stripping dies.  The operator
enters the room after each candle is processed to remove the scored cardboard
tube from the candle.
        The candle is then conveyed to the crushing apparatus where the candle
is crushed under water.  A hydraulic press equipped with a specially designed
head is used to crush the candle.  The crushed illuminating composition is
then conveyed to either of two stainless steel, agitated, solvent extraction
tanks by two conveyors  (one belt conveyor and one bucket elevating conveyor).
                                      2-3

-------
Two tanks were used in order to increase the daily output of the pilot plant.
        The extraction/separation process consists of agitating the crushed
material for 90 minutes in a methylene chloride-tnethanol based epoxy stripper
(STRIPOXY) / pumping off the STRIPOXif, adding water and agitating for 30
minutes, pumping off the water, and removing the magnesium powder from the
bottom of the tanks.  The epoxy stripper removes the binder, which can be
either an nitrate or a polyester, while the wash water removes the sodium
nitrate.  A dump valve in the bottom of the extraction tank is opened and the
magnesium is fed to a two tier vibrating screener.  The top deck of the
screener catches any lumps of composition which need additional processing.
Recovered magnesium flows off the bottom deck of the screener onto a conveyor
belt.  The magnesium powder is then transferred from the conveyor belt to an
oven for drying.  Figure 2 is a flow chart of the process.

        Application:  Mk 24 and Mk 45 APF.

        Capacity:  Pilot plant as built- 44 ea. MK 45 APF per eight hours
                                         59 ea. MK 24 APF per eight hours
        Scaled-up plant:                 88 ea. MK 45 APF per eight hours
                      (two extra tanks)  118 ea. MK 24 APF per eight hours

        Operating Costs:  Pilot plant as built:   $1,200 per eight hours
                         Scaled-up pilot plant:   $2,150 per eight hours

        Process Control:  Precise step by step operating procedures for the
pilot plant have been established.  The reclaimed magnesium is analyzed for
purity and the water solution is analyzed for sodium nitrate content.

        Reclamation Quality:  The reclaimed magnesium can be reused in flares
or sold to a commercial user.  The sodium nitrate can be used as fertilizer.
The parachutes can be reused and the metal parts can be sold as scrap.  The
binder material could possibly be used as a filler in concrete blocks.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Methylene chloride/methanol solvent with
binder components.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  The process needs to be scaled-up for an efficient
operation.  Minor modifications to the piping, conveyor system, and valves
would improve process efficiency.

        Construction Cost:  $250,000 needed to scale-up process.

        Developmental Costs:   $100,000 needed to develop process to
operational status.

        Developmental Status:  This project was completed in 1975 with
successful demonstration of the process.  The pilot plant equipment was left
in place at Building 122, NWSCC. Ownership of the pilot plant was later
transferred to Crane Army Ammunition Activity  (CAAA) .  The Army did sere
additional work in an attempt to further develop the process, however, the
Army was never able to get the system operational.  They have since dismantled
the pilot plant and the condition and location of the equipment is known.
Reference report R005, appendix A.

        c.  Solvent  (Water)

        The Naval Weapons Support Center Crane, Ordnance Engineering
Departinent, has developed a pilot plant process for the breakdown of
photoflash cartridges, separation of component parts, and separation/recovery
of the constituent components of the pyrotechnic composition.  A typical
formulation of a photoflash cartridge is 40 percent atomized aluminum, 30
percent barium nitrate, and 30 percent potassium perchlorate.
        The first series of operations are to remove the inner charge case
containing the pyrotechnic composition from the remaining hardware.  The pilot
plant includes an automated breakdown machine which cuts through the outer
cartridge with cooling water applied to the cutting tool. It then removes the
primer and black powder for separate storage, removes the delay element, and
flushes the photoflash composition into a jacketed, stainless steel kettle of
hot water.  The water temperature is maintained at 135 degrees Fahrenheit to
dissolve the barium nitrate and potassium perchlorate.  The solution is then
pumped through a 5-10 micron mesh polypropylene filter bag to remove the
aluminum.  The aluminum is emptied from the filter bag into metal trays and
transferred to an oven for drying.  The solution is then pumped into a chill
kettle and cooled tc 50 degrees Fahrenheit.  The co-precipitated salts are
then pumped through a 10-15 micron mesh polypropylene filter bag; afterwards,
they are emptied from the filter bag into metal trays and transferred to the
dryers.  The solution is then returned to the kettle and reheated for the next
run.  Figure 3 is a flow chart of the process.
        Chemical analysis of the reclaimed aluminum revealed a purity in
excess of 99 percent, which is suitable for use in other photoflash
formulations.  The reclaimed salt mixture was successfully reused in the
production of green flares used in the MK 116 and MK 120 Smoke and
Illumination Signals.

        Application:  Photoflash Cartridges.

        Capacity:  Pilot plant "as is":   72 units per eight hours.
                   Scaled-up plant:      216 Units per eight hours.

        Operating Costs:  Pilot plant "as is":   $750.00 per eight hours.
                          Scaled-up plant:      $1155.00 per eight hours.

        Process Control:  Unknown

        Reclamation Quality:  The reclaimed  aluminum is in excess of  99
percent purity and can be reused in new photoflash  formulations.  The
reclaimed salt mixture is suitable for use in  the production of green flares.

        Developmental Costs:  $100,000.00 required to develop scaled-up pilot
plant to operational status.

        Developmental Status:  After the pilot plant was successfully
demonstrated, the prototype equipment was disassembled, cleaned, and stored in
a warehouse at NWSCC.  The major pieces of equipment are still in good
condition and suitable for use.  However, all the piping would need to be
replaced.   Reference report R006, appendix A.

        d.  Solvent  (Blend)

        The Naval Weapons Support Center Crane, Ordnance Engineering
Department, designed, constructed, installed, and operated a 1/10 scale pilot
plant for the demilitarization of decoy flares.
        A typical decoy flare  (MK 46 series) contains an extruded mixture of
fuel,' oxidizer and binder.  Other decoy flares used by the Navy and Air Force
contain similar compositions as used in the MK 46.  Army decoy flares are
fabricated by pressing, rather than the extrusion of the pyrotechnic
composition.  In addition, a different binder system is used.
        The approach used to demilitarize the MK 46 decoy flare was to
mechanically extract the pyrotechnic grain from the metal case and ignitor,
reduce the grain to thin wafers, extract the binder using a high flash point
solvent system, and separate the fuel from the oxidizer using a froth
flotation process.  Figure 4 is a flow diagram of the demilitarization pilot
plant.  Figure 5 is a flow diagram of the separation section of the pilot
plant.
        Much of the effort, toward the end of this program, was directed
towards reuse of the recovered flare materials in the manufacture of new decoy
flares. MJIX7/B decoy flares were manufactured using reclaimed ingredients.
These units were tested at NWSCC in conjunction with lot acceptance testing of
standard MJU-7/B flares and the results were satisfactory.
        This pilot plant development effort is fully documented in
NWSC/CR/RDTR-302  (C), which is available upon written request to Commanding
Officer, Naval Weapons Support Center, Code 50222, Crane, IN 47522-5050.

        Application:  MK 46 series decoy flares.  Process could be adapted to
other Navy and Air Force decoy flares.

        Capacity:  The pilot plant can process 80 decoy flares per day.
Production of the plant could be doubled  (160 flares per day) by duplicating
the breakdown section of the pilot plant.  The separation section of the pilot
plant can easily handle this increased number of units.

        Operating Costs:  Pilot plant "as is"	$650 per eight hours.
                           Scaled-up plant	$1,050 per eight hours.

-------

        Process Control:  All machines in the breakdown section of the pilot
plant are calibrated prior to operation.  Process streams and stirring speeds
are monitored continuously. Step by step operating procedures for the pilot
plant are followed precisely.  Chemical analysis is performed on each batch of
reclaimed material.  In addition, end burners are fabricated and tested from
each batch to determine burn rate and intensity.

        Reclamation Quality:  The reclaimed materials are suitable for use in
the manufacture of new decoy flares, or possibly could be used in other
pyrotechnic formulations.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None, solvents will be recycled.  Process
water will be filtered and recirculated bade into the system.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  Process needs to be scaled-up for an efficient operation.

        Construction Cost:  $480,000.00 to scale up pilot plant.  This does
not include facility cost.

        Development Cost:  $150,000.00 to develop pilot plant to operational
status.

        Development Status:  This program was completed in 1986.  Equipment is
stored in a warehouse at NWSCC.  Condition of equipment is unknown, but should
be usable.  All the process lines would need to be replaced.


    2.  Meltout

        a.  Autoclave

        The Annunition Equipment Directorate at TEAD, Tooele, UT conducted a
tci>w I'Y 01 utili^iii'j uii autoclave Of.-vioj t.u remove cxp.i.Gi;;ve;; irou. 9Gmn
projectiles.  The autoclave is a steam meltout technique developed to melt
explosives from projectiles.  The projectile is cut at the internal diameter
that permits the explosive slug to drop out as a solid mass. This method was
developed as a result of a study investigating ecologically clean methods for
removing explosives from projectiles while maintaining the integrity of the
explosives for resale.
        The autoclave that AED tested was a domed cavity that would accept
sectionaiized projectiles 90mm through 120mm filled with TNT or TNT
compositions.  The autoclave bottom is on tracks and is rolled to the side for
loading.  Once loaded, the unit is rolled into the cavity where four hydraulic
cylinders raise the unit into the autoclave cavity and seal it into position.
Live steam is injected into the chamber for a pre-determined time, then shut
off and allowed to cool.  The unit is then lowered and rolled out to the
load/unload station and the tray bottom is opened to allow the explosives to
drop out.
                                   2-11

-------
        Application:  Explosive TNT and TNT composition filled munitions.

        Capacity:  Undetermined at this tine.

        Operating Costs:  Undetermined at this time/ but far less than hot
water washout.

        Process Control:  Manually controlled steam pressure of 5 psi for TNT
filled munitions and 15 psi for INT composition filled munitions.

        Reclamation Quality:  The TNT will have high resale value.  Meltout
yields are of higher purity than washout.  After flashing, the munition
casings could be sold as metal scrap.

        Waste Streams Generated:  In a production operation there should be
none.

        Data Gaps:  More experimentation is required on this unit.

        Construction Cost:  Undetermined at this time.

        Developmental Cost:  Considerable cost would be required to refine
this technique.

        Developmental Status:  Project is not funded.  Reference report R038,
appendix A.

        b.  Induction Heating

        The Ammunition Equipment Directorate at TEAD Tooele/ UT prepared a
study on Melting Explosives Out of Munitions, FY 76. One of the methods
studied was induction heating.  This technique, since it had the shortest
heating time, was used as a production capacity standard for all other
alternatives.  The melting times were based on the 50 KW Tocco Induction
Machine and a suitable coil capable of surrounding the shell.  The induction
heating method operates on the principle of friction and eddy-current losses.
Of the alternatives listed, melting temperatures are obtained the most rapid
with this course of action, but a high potential for a hot spot detonation
exists.

        Application:  Explosive removal for Composition B and TNT explosive
projectiles and other related munitions.

        Capacity:  An estimated 3-second is required duration to melt out
explosive out of a 75mm projectile.

        Operating Costs:  Low

        Process Control:  It would have to be an automatic/automated system.

        Reclamation Quality:  The explosive would be of high quality.
                                    2-12

-------
        Waste Streams Generated:  None

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  Depth of shell heat penetration would be hard to
accurately control.  The potential for a hot spot could occur creating an
explosive condition.

        Construction Cost:  Because the system would have to be conpletely
automated, construction cost would be high.

        Developmental Cost:  Moderate

        Developmental Status:  The program is not funded at this time.
Reference report R068, appendix A.

        c.  Microwave

        The Ammunition Equipment Directorate at TEftD Tooele, UT was tasked FY
79-81 to perform research and development necessary for a production type
system for microwave meltout from 500- and 750-lb bombs.  This research was
done in three phases which were:  I - Equipment Checkout, II - Meltout Tests
with Tritonal, and III - Meltout Tests with Minol 2.
        Phase I and II testing were completely successful.  As a result of
these tests, major equipment was developed and operating procedures were
defined for microwave meltout of Tritonal explosive.
        Phase III testing was not considered successful due to uncontrollable
heating.

        Application:  500- and 750-lb Tritonal filled bombs.

        Capacity:  Undetermined at this time.

        Operating Costs:  Undetermined at this time.

        Process Control:  Testing was done by manual control, but an
operational system would have to be computer controlled.

        Reclamation Quality:  Undetermined at this time, should be of high
quality.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The bomb cases would have to be flashed.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  State-of-the-art temperature scanner does not operate well
in the presence of high microwave energy fields.  Limitations in visual
monitoring result from microwave energy interference with the camera, which
causes poor video output.

    3.  Reclamation

        a.  Solvation  (Class 1.3 Propellants)

        The Thiokol Corporation conducted a study in 1982 for the Air Force
Wright Aeronautical Labs, Materials Laboratory, Wright - Patterson Air Force
Base  (AFB) Ohio, on solid propellant reclamation.
        The process separates and recovers major ingredients contained in the
scrap propellant.  The process is based on the relatively high water
solubility of the ammonium perchlorate (AP) used in the majority of composite
propellant formulations.  Scrap propellant is charged into a hydraulic
macerator where high pressure waterjets cut the propellant into small
particles and extract the AP into solution.  The concentrated extract solution
from the macerator is passed through a liquid cyclone and in-line filters to
remove suspended solids and then cooled in batch crystallizers to precipitate
the AP crystals.  These crystals are separated from the cooled solution in a
basket centrifuge and the AP recovered as a wet cake.  The cooled solution is
recycled to the hydraulic macerator for reuse.  The process is a closed loop
system with no effluents or waste streams to pollute the environment.  This
method has been successfully tested.  Figure 6 shows a line drawing schematic
of the process.  Figure "7 shows the principal operation of the hydraulic
macerator.

        Application:  Class 1.3 propellents.

        Capacity:  150 Ibs of scrap propellant per hour.

        Operating Costs:  The economics of the process are a function of plant
size, production rate and the resale value of the reclaimed AP as shown in
Figure 8.

        Process Control:  The process is manually fed and other functions are
automated.

        Reclamation Quality:  The M> is of high quality and it can be reused
in the manufacture of propellants, perchloric acid, or it can be used in
slurried explosives.  The binder residue can be used in slurried explosives  or
in a asphalt filler.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  The  system would have  to be  scaled for the tasked
assigned.

        Construction Cost:  Construction costs are a function of plant size as
shown in Figure 9 (MS = $1,000.00).

        Developmental Cost:  The development work was done under contract
number F33615-81-C-5125.

        Developmental Status:  After the method was proven, the prototype
equipment was disassembled and either reused in other projects, stored,
scraped, or sold.  Reference report R033, appendix A.

        b.  Bed Phosphorus to Phosphoric Acid Conversion.

        The Naval Weapons Support Center Crane, Ordnance Engineering
Department, designed, fabricated, installed, and tested a pilot plant for the
demilitarization of MK 25 Marine Location Markers.  The Plant consisted of a
Breakdown Section where the red phosphorus candle was separated from its
surrounding hardware, and an incineration system where the red phosphorus
composition was converted into fertilizer grade phosphoric acid.  The typical
formulation for the marine location marker is 53 percent red phosphorus, 34
percent manganese dioxide, 7 percent magnesium, 3 percent zinc oxide, and 3
percent linseed oil.  Processing of the MK 6 Aircraft Smoke and Illumination
Signal and the MK 58 Marine Location Marker would be identical to that of the
MK 25, only the candle separation procedure would differ.
        Machines were designed and built to separate the pyrotechnic candle
containing red phosphorus from the other components of the location marker.
The red phosphorus candle is sectioned into several pieces and then fed into
the incinerator.  -After charging the incinerator, the burner in the first
chamber is turned on and burned until the composition ignites, and then turned
off.  Phosphorus pentoxide, the principle combustion product of phosphorus
composition, is drawn through the second chamber of the incinerator.  The
second chamber is preheated by the second burner to insure complete combustion
of the product gases.  From the second chamber of the incinerator, product
gases are drawn into the top of a concurrent water spray, ceramic packed,
scrubber column.  The water spray containing the product gases is collected
and recycled through the scrubber.  Any remaining product gases and acid
droplets travel from the second column of the scrubber into a mist eliminator.
The mist eliminator removes any residual acid mist from the stack gas stream.
An air pump  (blower) draws the incinerator product gases through the scrubber
columns and the mist eliminator.  The blower intake is connected to the mist
eliminator and the exhaust is connected to the stack.  Figure 10 is a flow
schematic of the process).

        Application:  MK 25 and MK 58 Marine location Markers, and MK 6
Aircraft Smoke and Illumination Signals.

        Capacity:  Pilot Plant "as is":   58 pounds of red phosphorus
                                          composition per  eight hours.
                   Production Plant:     472 pounds of red phosphorus
                                            composition per ten hours.

        Operating Costs:   $325,000.00 per year for production operation.

        Process Control:  Pressure differentials and temperatures were
measured at various points throughout the incineration system to iterator the
progress of the bum.  stack sampling equipment was attached to the stack to
periodically monitor the exhaust gas stream.

        Reclamation Quality:  Process will produce fertilizer grade phosphoric
acid.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None

        Environmental Constraints:  Hazardous Waste Incinerator permit
required by RCRA.

        Data Gaps:  The process would have to be sized for an efficient
operation.  The process controls would have to be updated to meet the current
RCRA requirements.

        Construction Cost:  $1,250,000.00 to construct a production plant.
This does not include the facility costs.

        Developmental Status:  To develop process to operation status would
cost $150,000.00.  After successful demonstration of the pilot plant process
in 1977, the prototype was stored in a warehouse at NWSCC.  The condition of
this equipment is unknown.  Reference report RQ07, appendix A.


    4.  Controlled Iinc,iiPe.riSI'tiQr> ~
        At the Western Area Demilitarization Facility  (WADF) , Hawthorne,
NV a Flashing Chamber System was constructed in building 117-15.  This system
was designed to decontaminate or flash the residue of explosives on or in
large ammunition items.  However, the system has been converted into a Hot Gas
Decontamination System and has been proven through successful testing.  Items
that have been used in the ammunition production process; such as, mixing
kettles, valves, piping, and other metal parts are loaded onto pneumatically
powered mine type railroad cars  (approximately 8'x 20') and transported into
the furnace.  Prior to being sold or reused, the items are process through the
system for decontamination at a temperature of 300 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit
for a period of 6 to 48 hours.  The system is currently fired by propane but
will be converted to fuel oil in the future.  Figure 11 is a line drawing of
flashing chamber system.

        Application:  To decontaminate metal parts by heat.

        Capacity:  The furnace can process two cars at a time.

        Cperating Costs:  Undetermined at this time.

        Process Control:  Remote controlled.

        Reclamation Quality:  The items processed can be certified clean and
reused if required.

    5.
        The Ammunition Equipment Directorate at TEAD Tooele/ UT prepared an
in-depth study, in FY 85, of the "state-of-the-art" technology of laser bears
to ascertain the best equipment and method to assist in the demilitarization
of explosive filled projectiles, bombs, and other munitions.  The laser would
be used to disassemble the munition in a grooving/parting operation of the
cases major diameter.  This would create a circular weakening groove, and in
combination with a tearing/breaking process, bisect the case to extract the
solid explosive by some other extraction process.  Two advantages of the laser
application are added safety and flexibility.  The laser delivers most of its
energy to the free surface of the explosive and the bulk of the explosive
remains at a lower temperature.  From previous experiments conducted by the
Ballistic Research Laboratory  (BRL) for the burning of explosive out of the
burster tube, there was evidence that a stream of molten explosive was
spilling out of the tube.  Detonation did not take place even at the highest
level of power intensity.  At this particular power intensity, there was a
melting of explosives taking place.  The intensity can be determined by
controlling the output power and the size of the focal spot of the focused
laser beam.  By this method it seems possible to melt explosives.
        Other experiments also conducted by BRL' complied with technical
information researched indicates that it is possible to cut bombs or rockets
at the end by using a high power laser.  In addition, high power lasers can be
used in the demilitarization of chemical munitions.

        Application:  Explosive or chemical filled munitions.

        Capacity:  Twice as fast as power sawing.

        Operating Costs:  Undetermined at this time.

        Process Control:  Undetermined at this time.

        Reclamation Quality:  Undetermined at this time, should be of high

B.  EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES

    1.

        a.  Hot Water APE 1300

        Washout plants were constructed in the 1947-1948 tijneframe to remove
binary explosives from munitions.  Water of 205 degrees Fahrenheit at 90 psi
pressure is directed into the explosive cavity to remove the filler by a
combination of explosive melting, hydraulic mining, or erosion.  The
explosives from the munitions are then reclaimed in either flaked or
pelletized configuration.  In the past, the spent contaminated washout water
was processed through sawdust charged gravity filters to remove solids in
suspension.  Clean hot water was frequently used to final rinse the casings
thus introducing excess water into the system necessitating disposal of the
excess.  Sawdust charged gravity filters and counter-gravity charcoal filters
were used to clean the overflow at most locations.  At some locations, the
excess water was run into outdoor leaching ponds.  Some of these old leaching
ponds now present a formidable remedial challenge.  Operation of filters
adequate to meet current EPA liquid discharge requirements has greatly
increased a washout plant's energy consumption.   Figures 12 and 13 shows the
major components of the process.

        Application:  Bombs, projectiles, mines, and rocket warheads.

        Capacity:  Approximately 1400 Ibs/hr.

        Operating Costs:  Costs are variable but generally high due to high
energy costs for steam generation and large man-hour  (MH) requirements for
plant operation.

        Process Control:  Not applicable

        Reclamation Quality:  The flaked or pelletized explosive is generally
not of high enough quality for military reuse because of its lijnited storage
time.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Explosive-contaminated water that must be
cleaned within the plant prior to dumping.

        Environmental Constraints:  Discharge water must meet stringent purity
standards before being released from the plant.

        Data Gaps:  Hone

        Construction Cost:  Not applicable

        Developmental Cost:  Not applicable

        Developmental Status:  The APE 1300 is a fielded system and no further
development of this system is in process at present.  A Charcoal Filter Systa"1.
 (CFS) has been developed to remove the explosive contamination from the waste
water prior to discharge.  There are 14 systems installed; however, only 2 are
currently in operation.  Reference report RQ82,    appendix A.

        b.  High Pressure (Waterjet)

        The Thiokol Corporation has a contract with the Navy to manufacture
both Standard MK 104 missiles and the High Speed Anti-Radar Missile  (HARM)
motors.  Thiokol is required to test fire one motor in every cast produced to
assure the quality of the product.  For the Standard Missile, this equates to
one tested per 14 motors produced; for HARM, one tested per 20 motors
produced.  To help reduce program cost, they clean out the insulation lining
 (abestos-filled) of the test fired cases; the cases are then refilled and
reuse  (for test firings only).  For standard missile motors, a case can be
reused as many as 10 times at a cost savings of $20,000 for each refill and
firing.  The maximum reuse for HARM is three.  When a flawed motor is found,
either because of propellant or insulation defects, the motors are washed out
and the cases axe reused.
        To process a missile motor it is placed in a fixture at a 30 degree
angle from the horizontal.  The fixture will accept a missile motor whose
diameter is 10 to 60 inches with a length not to exceed 220 inches.  A 10,000
psig-120 gallon/minute water jet is introduced into the base missile.  The
water jet cuts the propellant into small pieces which are removed in slurry
form.  The slurry is channeled to a screen where the solid propellant is
collected, and removed, to be open-burned.  The water is then recycled to the
water jet nozzles.  (Water that is contaminated with Catocene or HMX is not
recycled.)  When the water becomes saturated with dissolved AP from the
propellant, it is removed from the system and treated at a special facility
prior to being discharged to the environment.  When insulation is to be
removed from the case the effluent is recycled and is processed differently
because of the asbestos.

        Application:  Propellents containing AP, HMX, and Catocene.

        Capacity:  Approximately 1000 Ibs/hr.

        Operating Costs:  Unknown

        Process Control:  The process is automated and controlled remotely.

        Reclamation Quality:  Thiokol Corporation does not reclaim the
propellant.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The AP saturated water is treated at a
special facility before it is discharged into the environment at a cost of
approximately $0.55 per gallon.  The water containing asbestos is treated in
the company's sewage treatment plant.

-------
        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  None

        Construction Cost:  The cost would be approximately $2/500,000 to
replace the existing facility.

        Developmental Cost:  None

        Developmental Status:  The facility is currently undergoing
renovation.  It is scheduled to be operational by 15 October 1989.  ThioJcol
proposes to process Minuteman and Caster motors in a six-month timeframe.

    c.  High Pressure (Waterjet)

        The Aerojet Solid Propulsion Company is currently operating a "hogout"
operation to remove the propellent from the Minuteman second stage missile
motors.  The hogout system is capable of removing about 1,000 Ibs of
propellant per hour, or one motor every 16 hours.  The missile motor is placed
on a horizontal saddle and rotated as the water jet is inserted into the base.
As the propellant is cut loose, it is removed from the base end and dewatered.
The solid propellant is packed into plastic-lined fiber drums and open burned
on sand-lined concrete pads with curbs to provide secondary containment of the
residue.

        Application:  Minuteman second stage missile motors.

        Capacity:  One missile motor every 16 hours or 1,000 Ibs/hr.

        Operating Costs:  Total cost including labor, utilities, sacrificial
drums and residue disposal is approximately $0.35/lb.

        Process Control:   Hogout operation is accomplished remotely using
automated controlled cameras for surveillance.  Open burning is a manual
operation with remote ignition of the wastes.

        Reclamation Quality:  Residue is opened burned and hogout liquid is
recycled.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Ash residue is sent to a class 1 dump.

        Environmental Constraints:  Specific environmental requirements such
as wind direction and speed, pollution index, height of inversion layer etc.,
have to be met to provide good dispersion and no environmental iiqpact.

        Data Gaps:  None

        Construction Cost:  A complete facility from hogout to burn pads is
approximately $1,500,000 without buildings.
                                     3-6

-------
        Developmental Cost:  None

        Developmental Status:  The facility is operational.  The facility was
designed and fabricated to do this specific task; it has not been optimized
for a large scale operation.

        d.  High Pressure  (Waterjet)

        The Western Area Demilitarization Facility/ Hawthorne, NV has a
Washout System (Hydraulic Cleaning System) located in the South Tower of the
Washout/Steainout Building  (bldg 117-6).  The objective of this system is to
remove two types of nonmeltabie press-loaded explosives known as Explosive A-3
and Explosive D from medium and major caliber gun ammunition items.
        Explosive A-3 is removed from projectiles by use of cold water at a
pressure up to 15,000 psig, while Explosive D is removed by use of 195 degrees
Fahrenheit water at normal line pressure  (approximately 80 psig).
        Two different methods are used for holding the projectiles while the
materials are removed; a washout turntable for projectiles ranging in size
from 3 through 6 inches, and a washout chamber for those from 8 through 16
inches.  Either high pressure cold water or heated line pressure water is
supplied to the nozzles associated with the washout turntable because
projectiles in the size range accommodated by the washout turntable will
contain either Explosive A-3 or Explosive D.  Only hot water is supplied to
the washout chamber because major caliber projectiles to be processed in the
chamber will contain only Explosive D.
        When items containing Explosive A-3 materials are being processed, the
mixture of water and particles of materials draining from the washout
turntable are directed to a dewatering screen which separates the water from
the particles of material.  The contaminated water is directed to the Water
Treatment Facility and the particles of materials are directed to the drying
conveyor.  Dried materials are weighed, packaged, and removed from the
building.
        When items containing Explosive D materials are being processed, the
saturated solution and undissolved materials are directed from the turntable
to the slurry collection tank where the materials are kept hot and stirred to
prevent settling and caking. The material from the slurry collection tank is
disposed of.    Figure 14 shows a flow diagram of the Washout System, figure
15 shows the conceptual arrangement of the south tower.

        Application:  Process-loaded Explosive A-3 and Explosive D from medium
and major caliber gun anrounition items.

        Capacity:  The turntable can accommodate eight projectiles at a time.
The washout chamber will only accommodate one large projectile at a time.

        Operating Costs:  Undetermined at this time.

        Process Control:  Manually controlled.

        Reclamation Quality:  Explosive A-3 is reusable, but Explosive D  is
not.  The projectile cases can be reused.

    2.  Meltout

        a.  Autoclave

        The Western Area Demilitarization Facility, Hawthorne, NV has eight
autoclaves  (Melt Drain Systems) in building 117-5.  The objective of this
system is to remove and recover meltable main charge explosives from gun
ammunition, rocket warheads, depth' charges, mortar cartridges, and other small
to moderate size ordnance items.  This is accomplished by heating the exterior
of a group of ammunition items that are mounted on a fixture placed inside an
autoclave with the open end down. As the explosive inside the amnunition items
melts, it drains out of the items and is directed out of the autoclave to a
melt kettle for dehydrating by vacuum.  The explosives are then cooled,
solidified/ and broken into small pieces on a belt flaker.  The flakes of
explosives are weighed, packaged, and removed from the building for reuse,
sale, or destruction.  Figure 16 shows a conceptual arrangement of the meltout
process and figure 17 shows a conceptual view of a melt-drain autoclave.

        Application:  Small to moderate size items with meltable explosives.

        Capacity:  Will vary based on the size item being processed.

        Operating Costs:  Undetermined at this time.

        Process Control:  Manual control.

        Reclamation Quality:  Both explosives and cases can be reused.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The Water Treatment Plant  (bldg 117-7)
accommodates the processing and recycling of water that has been contaminated

        b.  Autoclave

        The Ravenna Arsenal, Inc., Ravenna, OH has recently completed
melting out TNT from projectiles by using 12 of their 16 available autoclaves.
The 3"/50 projectiles flow through the disassembly station to the fuze removal
station.  At the fuze removal station, the complete assembly  (fuze, adapter,
and auxiliary detonating fuze) is removed from the projectile. Projectiles are
then transported to the meltout building.  The fuze is removed from the
adapter.  Then both the adapter and auxiliary detonating fuze are moved to the
auxiliary detonating fuze/adapter separation station.
        A fixture  (spider) was locally designed to hold up to 16-3"/50
projectiles for each autoclave kettle with a cycle time of 7 minutes.  The
maximum sized item that Ravenna's autoclave(s) can accommodate is one 500-lb
bomb.
        After the projectiles are melted out, they are transferred to the
flashing building where the rotating bands are removed prior to the cases
being flashed.
        The last demilitarization run of 134,467 3"/50's was completed in
November 1989, with a cost of approximately $8.59 per round, or a cost of
$1,562.26 per gross ton, exclusive of overhead.  The cost per round would be
reduced in the operation would be run on a continuous basis.

        Application:  All meltable explosive filled projectiles and bombs up
to 500-lbs.

        Capacity:  Each autoclave can accommodate from 16 3"/50 or 90mm
projectiles up to one 500-lb bomb.

        Operating Costs:  From $7.50-9.50 for each 3"/50 round, depending on
the Quantity of the projectiles to Demilitarization.

        Process Control:  Manual

        Reclamation Quality:  The approximate reclamation values of some of
the components from the 3" 750 projectile  (DCDIC C299) are in the following
table:

status.

        c.  Steamout

        Crane Army Ammunition Activity, Crane, IN, has a steamout facility in
operation.  The facility  (bldg 160) is a closed system with very few fumes
escaping to the atmosphere.  Each item to be processed requires a specially
designed fixture, which when placed in the munitions fuze cavity will allow
steam to cone in contact with the explosive.  When melted the explosive flows
through a heated manifold to a holding tettle.  The explosive, water mix is
kept as a liquid in the holding tettle until a predetermined amount is
collected.  The explosive is then transferred to a mix/melt kettle fitted with
a vacuum system.  The water and water vapors are removed by drawing a vacuum
on the kettle.  When the moisture content of the explosive is acceptable the
explosive is poured into cooling trays.  The trays are kept in cooling hoods
until the explosive has solidified.  The explosive is then removed fron the
trays and packaged for storage.  Fumes from the holding kettle, vacuum kettle,
and the cooling hoods are processed through a water scrubbing system before
being exhausted to the atmosphere.  Water from the steamout process and the
water scrubber system is treated by a carbon adsorption system, then released
to the sanitary sewage system.
        Figure 18 shows a line diagram schematic of the process.

        Application:  Explosive filled items which have been cast with a TNT
based explosive,  (i.e. bombs, warheads, mines, torpedoes, and projectiles)

        Capacity:  Approximately 4,000 pounds of reclaimed explosive per eight
hour shift when steaming out large explosive filled items.  Approximately
1,500 pounds of reclaimed explosive per eight hour shift when steaming out
smaller explosive filled items, such as projectiles.  Large explosive fillea
items require as long as 14 hours to steamout.

-------
        Operating Costs:  A FY 89 cost estimate to steamout a quantity of
20,000 TOT filled 90im projectiles was $13.00 per round.  To disassemble the
munition and steamout the explosive the total cost would be $30.00 per round.
This total cost would be offset by the reuse or sale of the filler, casings,
and other materials.

        Process Control:  CAAA has the capability to analyze each batch of
reclaimed explosive to determine the moisture content.  Additional analysis
can be performed to determine other attributes of the reclaimed explosive,
when required.

        Reclamation Quality:  The munition cases have been utilized for inert.
filling in the past.  The explosive has been utilized as explosive filler for
shock charges used to test naval ship and submarine hulls.

        Waste Streams Generated:  This process generates two waste streams:
one, scrap explosive and contaminated material that must be open burned or
incinerated, and two, contaminated carbon from the waste water treatment that
must be incinerated or regenerated.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  None

        Construction Cost:  The addition of the vacuum kettle and other
equipment improvements in 1982 cost approximately $400K.  Construction of the
pollution treatment facilities in 1981 cost approximately $1.3 million.

        Developmental Costs:  Unknown, development was not performed at CAAA.

        Developmental Status:  CAAA has successfully reclaimed and reused
explosives, at a cost savings, to be used in the fabrication of shock charges
used to test naval ship and submarine hulls.  CAAA has successfully used the
plant, at a cost savings, to reclaim hardware from 500 Ib bombs.  Currently
the plant is being utilized to reclaim hardware from torpedo warheads and
naval mines for reload as inert items.

        d.  Steamout

        The Western Area Demilitarization Facility, Hawthorne, NV has a Hot
Water Washout/System located in the North Tower of building 117-6.  The
objective of this system is to remove and recover cast-loaded explosives from
large ammunition items.  This is accomplished by  (a) impinging a stream of
steam or hot water on the explosives in the item,  (b) draining the molten
explosives frcr* the item,  (c) separating the water from the explosives,  (d)
preparing the explosives for subsequent activities, and  (e) preparing the
emptied ammunition item case for reuse or for decontamination by flashing.
The item is placed on a tiltable table, a seal plate and an adapter are then
attached to the item.  A lance, that advances manually, is inserted through
the adaptor to admit steam or hot water during the meltout process.
Explosives that may be reusable or salable are dehydrated by vacuum, cooled,
solidified, and broken into relatively small pieces on a belt flaker, and
                                    3-16

-------
packaged.  Nonreusable explosives are directed to a device where they are
solidified into the form of Kernels and then loaded into portable tanks for
incineration at building 117-4.
        After the steamout is complete, the item is transferred to a steam
heated autoclave to remove any residual explosives and the hot-welt liner
material present in most large items.  After the residual material has been
melted out of the casing,  it can be reused or disposed of.
        Figure 19 shows a flow diagram of the explosive steamout process.
Figure 20 shows an end elevation view of the steamout equipment arrangement.

        Application:  Remove and recover cast-loaded explosives from
underwater mines, bombs/ and other large ammunition items.

        Capacity:  The system is sized to steam out approximately 7,900 IDS of
INT-type explosives per eight hour shift.

        Operating Costs:  Undetermined at this time.

        Process Control:  Manually controlled.

        Reclamation Quality:  Both the explosives and cases can be reused.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The Water Treatment Plant (bldg 117-7)
accommodates the processing and recycling of water that has been contaminated
with energetic residue from the process.  All nonreusable explosives and
explosive sludge is disposed of by incineration at building 117-4.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  The process has been checked out with explosive filled
items, but it has not been run for an extended period of time.

        Construction Cost:  $3,439,500

        Developmental Cost:  $75,000

        Developmental Status:  The equipment in the Washout/Steamout Building
is in layaway.  Reference reports RJ027 am RQ87, appendix.


    3.  Reclamation:

        a.  Solvation  (Class 1.3 Propel!ant)

        The Aerojet Central Waste Management group in Sacramento has developed
a full scale Propellant Thermal Processor  (PTP) system equipped with AP a
waste preparation method to convert the propellant to an inert waste.  This
unit will remove approximately 95 percent of the AP contained in class  1.3
propellant.  The water that is obtained from the process is saturated with  AP
and sold as a raw material.  The remaining material that contains binder,
aluminum, and 5 percent AP is incinerated in the two-stage PTP incinerator.
The initial incineration is done at 1,850 degrees and leaves  a recyclable

aluminum ash.  The second incineration is done at 2,100 degrees on the gaseous
effluent from the initial incineration to complete the combustion and destroy
any organics remaining from the first stage incineration.  The gases are then
cooled and scrubbed to remove particulates and hydrogen chloride gas.  For
every 1 million pounds of class 1.3 propellant treated through the system,
there will be approximately 4,000 gallons of inorganic salt scrubber waste
that will be disposed of by deep-well injection at a cost of $1.00/gallon.
        Aerojet initial requirement was to design a plant that would process
approximately 2 million pounds of class 1.3 propellant per year.  However with
the available equipment, the final fabricated system would be able to handle 3
million pounds per year operating at 60 percent duty cycle.  The system is
easily adaptable to larger volume scale-up, if desired.
        Figure 21 shows a line schematic of the proposed recovery process
from a hogout operation.  Material balance, Figure 22 shows a line schematic
material balance of the incinerator process.  Figure 23 shows a system
schematic of the incinerator process.

        Application:  Without RCBA permits, the unit can handle 1.3
propellant.  If a PCRA permits is obtained, the unit can also handle
contaminated wastes, chlorinated solvents, AP waste water, and hazardous toxic
solid and liquid organics while meeting all of the environmental requirements
for gaseous and liquid effluents.

        Capacity:  The current process system can process 3 million pounds of
propellant per year based on a 60 percent duty cycle.  System is easily
expandable.

        Construction Cost:  The equipment cost is approximately $7,000/000 to
$8,000,000 for the process equipment at 3,000,000 pound rating.

        Developmental Cost:  None

        Developmental Status:  The entire system has been demonstrated using
20,000 pounds of AP based propellant from the Minuteman Stage II motors.  The
system is currently ready for operational status.  The system can be scaled up
for 10,000,000 pounds of propellant per year per incinerator unit. Multiple
units can be integrated for greater capacity.

        b.  White Phosphorus to Phosphoric Acid Conversion

        U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command, Rock Island, XL
with support from CAAA, and TEAD has  successfully developed a
demilitarization procedure for converting white phosphorus  (WP) to phosphoric
acid.  The process is based on incinerating WP munitions, which have
previously had all explosive components removed, in a modified APE 1236
deactivation furnace (rotary kiln).  Hot gaseous combustion products are drawr.
from the furnace through the conversion plant by high capacity fan blowers.
The resultant phosphorus pentoxide is drawn through a co-flow/counter-flow
hydration system, producing a 5 percent concentration by weight phosphoric
acid.  The remaining gas stream passes through a variable throat venturi and
enters a separator where dilute acid, used for hydrating, is produced.  The
gas stream then moves through two mist elimination systems where aerosol
particles are removed prior to the exit stack.  Figure 24 shows a line diagram
of the WP-PAC process.

        Application:  HP filled munitions.

        Capacity:  Maximum capability of 11,520 pounds of WP daily converted
into 48,000 pounds of 75% concentration phosphoric acid in a 24-hour period.

        Operating Costs:  $300,000 to $350/000/month.

        Process Control:  All plant functions are continually monitored and
controlled from a central location by two industrial programmable logic
controllers and are supported by mechanical, electrical hydraulic, preumatic
and auxiliary services equipment.

        Reclamation Quality:  The product acid is filtered  for removal  of
suspended solids, and sold to commercial operations.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None

        Environmental Constraints:  None.  The WP-PAC plant project represents
one of the first responsive programs to the constraints of  EPA requirements
and the RCRA.

        Construction Cost:  The cost of materials and equipment alone is
estimated between $4 and $5 million.

        Developmental Status:  Full scale operation of the WP-PAC plant
officially began on 6 February 1989.  By the programs end  (third quarter
FY 91), approximately 5 million pounds of WP will have been processed and over
20 million pounds of phosphoric acid will have been produced and sold.  The
estimated revenue from acid sales is $1.44 to $1.60 million.  Reference report

    4.  Controlled IT^?','"'fixation:

        a.  Deactivation Furnace - APE 1236

        The Ammunition Equipment Directorate at TEAD, Tooele, UT was
instrumental in the development of the APE 1236 Deactivation Furnace.  It is a
thick walled, variable speed/ steel rotary kiln furnace.  The Deactivation
Furnace has four major components which are; the feed system section, the
retort assembly section, the discharge section, and the pollution abatement
system.  It is purposely not refractory lined to enable the furnace to be used
as a small arms "popping furnace".  The small arms, up to 20mm, are fed into
the furnace at a predetermined rate and are functioned by the heat of the
furnace (pop off).  If the furnace was refractory lined, the action of the
small arms round functioning would erode the refractory material or when the
furnace is used for a larger item flashing furnace, the tumbling of the item
would damage the refractory material.
        Currently the APE 1236 is undergoing a complete upgrade so it will
comply with the current RCRA requirements.  The upgrade will consist of an
automatic waste fee subsystem, afterburner, high/low temperature heat
exchangers, centrifugal dust collector  (cyclone), bag house, draft fan, and
the exhaust stack.  It will be a completely shrouded system and no fugitive
emissions will be allowed.  Figure 25 shows the present APE 1236 facility.
Figure 26 shows the proposed upgraded facility.

        Application:  Small arms ammunition, primer, fuzes, boosters, and
detonators; to flash 75mm through 120mm projectiles after washout of explosive
charge; and to deactivate drained chemical bombs, rockets, grenades, and other
miscellaneous items.

        Capacity:  A list of rotation speeds and feed rates have not been
established for the modified APE 1236.

        Operating Costs:  Varies with different locations.   (Depends on labor,
fuel, and electrical rates).

        Process Control:  The new upgraded Deactivation Furnace is computer
controlled, and completely automated to assure the operation will conform to
given parameters.  The new  system will have an operations parameter recorder
that will store a permanent record  of the daily operations.

        Pine Bluff Arsenal  CPBA) constructed a pollution abatement facility
(incinerator complex) during the calendar year 1977-1978  (CY 77-78) timeframe.
One of the incinerators in this complex is the Deactivation Furnace.  The
Deactivation Furnace is a modified APE 1236 in that it is completely shrouded
and the captured gases from the feed system and the discharge chute are
processed through a separate filtering system; whereas, the gases from the
exterior of the retort section are injected into the Deactivation exhaust
stream and processed through the Central Afterburner  (CAB).
        The CAB thermally processes the gaseous emissions from the
Deactivation, Chain Grate Incinerator (CGI) and the Car Bottom Incinerator
(CBI).  It also processes effluent from the Munition Test Chamber  (MTC) used
to test items from the production of pyrotechnic munitions.  The combustion
gas stream from the CAB is quenched, then scrubbed in a variable throat wet
venturi scrubber system prior to discharge to the stack.  A new hydro-sonic
scrubbing system is in the process of being procured and installed.

        Application:  Grenades, fuzes, hardware  (shredded) from pyrotechnics,
WP, riot, HC and colored smoke munitions, and small explosive items  (PBA has a
self-imposed restriction not to exceed 600 grains of explosives per section in

        c.  Rotary Furnace System APE 2210

        The Western Area Demilitarization Facility/ Hawthorne/ NV has two
Rotary Furnaces APE 2210 in building 117-3.  The Rotary Furnace Lead Items
System, located in Cell 1, was established to deactivate small caliber
ammunition equipped with lead projectiles.  The  Rotary Furnace Detonating
Items System, located in Cell 2, was established to deactivate larger
detonating items equipped with non-lead projectiles.  Both systems are oil
fired and include specialized handling equipment for loading anrunition into
the furnace as well as the collecting and disposing of the scrap and
by-products.  Figure 27 shows an artist's concept of a rotary furnace of the
APE 2210 type located at WADF.  Figure 28 shows the equipment arrangement in
building 117-3.

EWI.

        e.  Contaminated Waste Processor

        The Ammunition Equipment Directorate AED, at TEAD, Tooele, UT was
instrumental in the development of the CWP.  The CWP is a "car bottom"
incinerator which has a movable hearth.  There are two sizes for the CWP.
        Small Unit:  The small CWP is a batch fed  (4'x8' basket) incinerator
and the pollution abatement equipment consists of a dilution air damper, low
temperature  (1000 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit) heat exchanger, a dust collector,
bag house, draft fan, and exhaust stack.
        Large ynjtt  The large CWP is a batch or continuous fed incinerator.
When it is used in the continuous mode, the material is processed through a
shredder system and then fed into the fire chamber through a series of doors
or "air locks."  The pollution abatement equipment is similar with the small
unit, except it has a larger capacity.

        f.  Static Incinerator

        Pine Bluff Arsenal constructed a pollution abatement facility
 (incinerator complex) during the CY 77-78 timeframe. One of the latest
furnaces to be installed in this complex is the CBI.  The CBI has a movable
hearth that can be rolled out of the incinerator and loaded externally, then
rolled into the fire chamber for processing.  The hearth area is large enough
to accommodate at least two 4'x4'x4' pallets of material to be processed.  A
vertical door is lowered into position to close the door opening.  This CBI
also has a side ram feed that can accommodate smaller batches of material to
be processed.  The effluent from the CBI is processed through the CAB
        The CAB thermally processes the gaseous emissions from the CBI,
Deactivation and the CGI.  It also processes effluent from the MTC used to
test items from the production of pyrotechnic munitions.  The combustion gas
stream from the CAB is quenched, then scrubbed in a variable throat wet
venturi scrubber system prior to discharge to the stack.  A new hydro-sonic
scrubbing system is in the process of being procured and installed.

        Application:  To be determined, it would be ideal for flashing large
metal parts and processing smoke pots.

        g.  Flashing Furnace System  (Annealing Oven)

        The Western Area Demilitarization Facility, Hawthorne, NV has a
Flashing Furnace System (Annealing Oven) in Cells 5 and 6 of building 117-3.
This .process has been designed to heat moderate size processed ammunition
items at a temperature where any residual energetic material on or in the
items is decomposed or burned.  The interior of the furnace is 16 feet long to
accommodate four skids at a time with inner and outer furnace doors at both
ends that are interlocked with the operation of the walking beam conveyor.
The furnace is fuel oil fired with a design temperature of 1475 degrees
Fahrenheit so as to heat the contents to 900 degrees Fahrenheit.  At this
operating temperature and with a dwell time of 30 minutes, it is estimated
that items can be decontaminated to the 5X level.  The furnace interior is
protected with two layers of refractory brick to reduce heat loss.
        Figure 30 shows the concept of the flashing furnace with the walking
beam.

        Application:  To decontaminate metal parts by heat flashing.

        Capacity:  Sequentially process four skids of metal parts with a
discharge rate of one skid every 7.5 minutes.

        h.  Static Firing of UW

        The U.S. Army Missile Command  (MICCM), Huntsville, AL has a contract
with the Thiokol Corporation to preform static firing of the Pershing 1A and
II Rocket Motors at the Longhom Army Ammunition Plant (LHAAP),  Marshall,  TX.
During FY 89, they disposed of 343 Pershing 1A,  1st and 2nd stages.  They are
scheduled to start static firing the Pershing II Rocket Motors during FY 90.
The static firing is accomplished by using two test stands that were built
when the Pershing Rocket Motors were produced.  If a Rocket Motor is
considered a suspect, they have two other sites where the motors can be static
fired in a secluded area.  Figure 31 shows a line drawing of static firing.

        Application:  Pershing 1A & II Solid Rocket Motors.

        Capacity:  They can dispose of 6 motors per day of the Pershing lA's
on the designated sites.  Due to the larger size/ the throughput for the
Pershing II motors will be less than 6 per day.

        Operating Costs:  Unknown

        Process Control:  Unknown

        Reclamation Quality:  After the motors are fired, the cases are
crushed and residue is landfilled.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The effluent is released to the atmosphere
and the cases are landfilled.

        Environmental Constraints:  The state of Texas regulates the number of
motors that can be fired each day and what weather conditions are acceptable
for the firings.

        i.  Botary Kiln

        The Western Area Demilitarization Facility, Hawthorne, NV has two
refractory lined rotary kiln type incinerators that are a part of the Bulk
Incineration System located in building 117-4.  This process has been designed
to receive, prepare, and incinerate explosive materials transported from the
various demilitarization buildings. The two rotary kiln incinerators are to
burn the energetic materiel in slurry form.  The flow rate may be varied from
0 to 10 gpm.  The incinerators are equipped with variable speed drives which
are capable of rotating the incinerator body at the speed range of 1/2 to 6
rpm.  A fuel oil burner is located at the discharge end of the incinerator and
provides the heat required to maintain the incinerator body temperature and to
burn slurry.
        The afterburner is located downstream from the rotary kiln body.  It
is refractory lined chamber equipped with two burners that insure that all of
the combustibles in the effluent gases are burned and emissions are reduced to
acceptable environmental levels.
        Pink water has been processed through the incinerator at a rate of 5
gpm with a rotary kiln temperature of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and a
afterburner temperature of 1750 degrees Fahrenheit.  Otto fuel incineration
tests have been successfully conducted using the rotary kiln temperature of
1600 degrees Fahrenheit with an afterburner temperature of 2200 degrees
Fahrenheit; thus, showing the versatility of this incineration system
        Figure 32 shows the arrangements of the incinerators relative to the
Bulk Explosives Disposal Building.

        Capacity:  Will vary due to the type materials processed.  Design
capacity is for 550 pounds of energetic material per hour for each
incinerator.

        Operating Costs:  will vary due to the material being processed.

        Process Control:  Remote controlled.

        j.  Rotary Kiln

        The Environmental Systems Ccnpany  (ENSCO), El Dorado, AR operates a
Hazardous Waste Disposal Facility on a commercial bases.  The operation car. be
divided into two discrete systems,  (a) "Fixed" System and,  (b) "Transportable"
System.  Some of the pertinent physical combustion characteristics of the
fixed based unit as described as follows:

        System-Fixed Base     Operating Temperature     Retention Time
        Rotary Kiln fl         1750-1900 degrees F    3/4-1.5 hr (solids)
        Rotary Kiln #2         1750-1900 degrees F    1/2-2.0 hr (solids)
        Primary Combustion     2200-2500 degrees F        2.5 sec
        Secondary Combustion   1800-2400 degrees F        2.0 sec
        Waste-Fired Boiler     1800-2400 degrees F        2.0 sec

        To process pplychlorinated biphenyl and contaminated wastes, liquids
are pumped directly into the thermal oxidation system (TOU) while solids,
capacitors, and sludges are fed through a hopper directly into the on-line
shredders.  The resulting solid pieces and liquids are augered into the rotary
kiln(s).
        Two rotary kilns are utilized for treatment of solids, with either
shredded solids entering via screw-type auger systems, or repackaged for
subsequent ram feed.  The kiln off-gases are passed through vertical cyclones
where additional ash is removed.  After exiting the cyclone, the hot gases
travel through a ductway to the first chamber of the TOU.  Additional liquid
wastes are fed into the TOU causing the final reaction with oxygen at 2400
degrees Fahrenheit to produce water vapor, carbon dioxide, and acid gases.
The complete combustion is assured by burning the effluent gases again in the
TOU.
        A usable system is generated in the waste fired boiler.  The waste
fired boiler is a single zone combustion chamber which is fitted with boiler
tubes that produce steam.  The TOU and waste fired boiler exit gas streams are
continuously sampled and monitored or oxygen, carbon monoxide, and carbon
dioxide content.  Within the scrubber, the gas streams are cooled to 200
degrees Fahrenheit and acid gases are neutralized with a lime slurry.
        From the scrubber brine liquor, ENSCO produces a calcium chloride
product which is marketed to the oil drilling industry.  The gases exiting the
top of the scrubber pass through the Venturi Jet for additional scrubbing to
ensure removal of any remaining entrained particulates.  Figure 33 shows a
process schematic for the "Fixed Base" System.
        The pertinent physical combustion characteristics of the transportable
system are described as follows:

        The modular waster processor  (M*P) 2000 is a separate, stand alone,
transportable incineration system which is operated on a permanent basis at
the ENSCO facility.  The MWP 2000 operates independently except that it
utilizes and depends on the waste receiving/ the storage, and scrubber brine
clarifier units of the main fixed base facility.
        The process flow is similar to that of the main facility with
corresponding pieces of equipment performing similar duties.  The system
consists of the rotary kiln, afterburner, waste heat recovery system, acid gas
neutralization and the air pollution control train.  Figure 34 shows the
process flow diagram of the M»JP 2000 System.

        Capacity:  Authorized feed rate of 3,700 Ibs/hr of PCBs.  The facility
can process approximately 120,000,000 Ibs/yr.

        Operating Costs:  The average cost is 51.00/lb to dispose of waste
material, with wastes requiring special handling costing more.

        Process Control:  ENSCQ's digital computer control system monitors the
exit gases at various points in the system prior to being emitted out of the
stack for 02, C02, NOX, CO, SOX, particulates, temperature, and capacity.
Monitoring systems are interlocked throughout to result in automatic system
shutdown and waste-feed cut-off as a margin of safety to prevent any possible
excursion or in the event of a malfunction.  These parameters are recorded and
submitted to proper governmental agencies.

        k.  Chain Grate Incinerator

        Pine Bluff Arsenal constructed a pollution abatement facility
(incinerator complex) during the CY 77-78 timeframe.  One of the furnaces in
this complex is the CGI; it has an elongated fire chamber with an opening on
each end that can accept a full pallet of material  (>4 ft3). The end openings
are closed by lowering a vertical sliding door.  The material to be processed
is placed on one end of the CGI and is pulled into the fire chamber by means
of a movable chain grate assembly.  This assembly, which resembles a ladder,
has two chains that are positioned on each side of the fire chamber connected
by angle irons.  The assembly is pulled through, or into, the fire chamber by
means of a drive sprocket on the discharge end and over an idler sprocket at
the feed end. Materials can either be batch or continuous fed through the CGI.
The effluent from the CGI is processed through the CAB.
        The CAB thermally processes the gaseous emissions front the CGI,
Deactivation, and the CBI.  It also processes effluent from the MTC used to
test items from the production of pyrotechnic munitions.  The combustion
stream from the CAB is quenched, then scrubbed in a variable throat wet
venturi scrubber system prior to discharge to the stack.  A new hydro-sonic
scrubbing system is in the process of being procured and installed.

        Application:  Scrap metal, dunnage, contaminated packing material and
munitions hardware.  The CGI is limited to non-hazardous material and
contaminated metals.

hydro-sonic device is installed, the CGI will be certified to conform to the
current RCRA and other regulatory agencies requirements. Reference report
R053, appendix A.

        m.  Air Curtain Pit Burner (ACPB)

        Pine Bluff Arsenal procured an ACPB.  The ACPB is a 20 foot long, 13
foot deep, open top pit with either one or both ends capable of opening for
clean out.  The ACPB can be top fed by hand or by standard material handling
equipment  (MHE).  A blower system is installed on the top of the pit on the
opposite side from the feed side.  When a fire is burning in the pit a
"curtain of air" blows across the top of the pit which entrains the effluent
from the combustion and circulates it back into the flame.  Figure 35 shows a
line drawing of pit burner and a schematic drawing of an air curtain concept.

        Application:  Used to size reduce non-PCP treated wood and paper
by-products from normal operations.

        Capacity:  Bum rate on 30-70 percent moisture content mixed material
plus or minus 10 ton/hour.

        Operating Costs:  The cost of fuel to start and maintain the fire and
the electric power to operate the blower system will be minimum.

        Process Control:  Assure non-treated materials are burned.  Other than
air flow and fuel flow there are no other controls.

        Reclamation Quality:  Residue has no value.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Residue ash will be hauled to the sanitary
land fill.

        Environmental Constraints:  No supporting test data, should be far
superior to open burning.

        Data Gaps:  None

        Construction Cost:  A turn key procurement cost FY  89 for the above
mentioned 20-foot ACPB incinerator was $93,000.

        Developmental Cost:  None

        Developmental Status:   The technology is readily available and can be
purchased commercially.  Reference report R083, appendix A.

        n.  Fluidized Bed Incinerator

        The FBI at PBA pollution abatement facility  (incinerator complex) has
a thermal capacity of 26,000,000 BTU/hr.  The FBI uses high velocity air to
entrain solids in a highly turbulent combustion chanter.  The bed media is 8
feet, expanded height,  of silica sand.  This thermal mass stabilizes the
combustion tertperature and allows for efficient heat transfer to the material
being processed.  Materials are fed into the FBI in liquid, slurry, or solid
form.
        The combustion gas stream passes through a cyclonic separator for
removal of large particulates (>5 microns), a gas quenching tower and a
variable throat wet venturi scrubber or for removal of acid gases and fine
particulates prior to discharge to the stack.
        Pine Bluff Arsenal is currently procuring a hydro-sonic scrubbing
system that will remove particulates down to .02 micron in size, which is well
below the current environmental standards.

        Application:  Smokes and dyes in liquid, slurry and in solid form not
to exceed 1 inch in diameter particle size.  No metal parts are to be
processed in the FBI.

        Capacity:
          Riot Agent CS	300 Ib/hr
          Riot agent CNB	  2 GPM
          Impregnate Waste	  3 GPM
          Decon Solution & Water	  3 (3>M
          Smoke Mix HC	500 Ib/hr
          M13 Kits	"720 hr

        Only small quantities of the following items have been processed and
feed rates have not been established at this time:
        Smoke Mix He w/o aluminum
        Fo/Mono/Carb
        Toluene
        Monchlorobenz/Toluene
        95 percent Gex abd 5 percent
        Monochlorobenzene
        Carbon Tetrachloride
        Polymar

        Operating Costs:  Unknown

        Process Control:  The FBI is computer controlled to assure the
operation will conform to given parameters.

        Reclamation Quality:  Not applicable to this process.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Particles five microns or larger (fly  ash,
sand, etc.) are containerized and landfilled.  Wastewater  from the CGSU  is
processed through the central waste treatment facility.

        Environmental Constraints:  The process, with the  hydro-sonic
scrubbing system on  line will meet  the  current RCRA requirements.
                                   3-50

-------
        Data Gaps:  None

        Construction Cost:  The FBI has been constructed with production
funds.  The new hydro-sonic scrubbing system has been ordered and will cost
approximately 1.5 million per unit.

        Developmental Cost:  There will be some funding requirements for the
trial burns to obtain certification for the FBI system..

        Developmental Status:  When the hydro-sonic scrubbing system is
installed and the FBI system is certified FY 90-91 the processing of the
applicable material can be initiated.  Reference report R053, appendix A.

        o.  Circulating Bed Contustor (CBC)

        Ogden Environmental Services, Inc. (OES), has developed and applied
the CBC which is an evolution of the FBI technology engineered specifically to
thermally treat hazardous and other wastes.  The main difference between the
FBI and the CBC has a cyclone separator that removes the larger particles from
the exit gas stream and returns them to the combustion chamber.  The CBC uses
high velocity air to entrain circulating solids in a highly turbulent
combustion loop.  Upon entering the combustor, high velocity air (14 to 20
ft/sec) entrains the circulating solids which travel upward through the
combustor into the hot cyclone.  This design allows combustions throughout the
reaction zone.
        Due to its high thermal efficiency, the CBC is suited to treat a wide
variety of materials, including those with low heat content, including
contaminated soil.  Material is introduced into the combustor loop where it
immediately contacts hot recirculating material from the hot cyclone.
Hazardous materials in the feed stream are rapidly heated when introduced into
the loop and continue to be exposed to high temperature throughout the time in
the CBC.  Retention time in the cortoustor ranges from 1.5 to 2 seconds for
gases to less than 30 minutes for larger feed materials (greater than 2.0 inch
in diameter) .
        After the cyclone separates combustion gases from the hot solids, the
solids are returned to the combustion chamber through a proprietary
non-mechanical seal at the outlet of the cyclone.  Hot flue gases and fly ash
pass through a convective gas cooler and on to a baghouse filter where fly ash
is removed.  The filtered flue gas is then exhausted to the atmosphere.
Heavier particles of purified soil remaining in the combustor lower bed are
slowly removed by a water-cooled ash conveyor system.  Temperatures around the
entire loop (combustion, hot cyclone, return leg) are uniform plus or minus 50
degrees Fahrenheit.   Figure 36 shows the process of the CBC.

        Application:  At presentf PCB contaminated soil, various petroleum
hydrocarbons,  town gas residues, and other contaminants have been certified
for processing.  In addition to soil, the CBC can process solids, sludges, and
liquids.

        Capacity:  The CBC can process a maxijtum of 100-150 tons a day with a
10-20 percent moisture content.  As the moisture content of the soil
increases, the throughput decreases correspondingly.  OES has developed highly
effective soil dry ng and preprocessing systems.

        Operating Costs:  Operating costs range from $100 to $150 per ton of
waste.  This includes operators and management for 3 shift/day, 24 hours/day
operations.  Operational availability is 80 percent to 90 percent.

        Process Control :  The CBC is controlled by a multi-channel process
controller to assure that operating parameters conform to established limits
or regulatory requirements.  The system includes a variety of interlocks which
trim process excursions.  The CBC is inherently safe:  It operates at a slight
negative pressure to prevent fugitive emissions.

        Reclamation Quality:  Residue and processed soil are generally
replaced on site without the need for off -site landfilling.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The CBC does not generate secondary waste
streams such as scrubber water or sludge.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  There are no data established to dispose of applicable
propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnic (PEP) materials.  However, OES has
conducted extensive scale testing on a variety of substances, and it maintains
a CBC dedicated to research and trial bum activities.  In addition/ the
company has extensive bench testing capabilities .

        Construction Cost:  OES offers full services/ including installation,
trial bums, operations, and demobilization.  The company usually operates on
a lease and operations basis.  A new CBC can be fabricated and installed for
approximately $4 million.

        Developmental Cost:  The CBC is fully operational.  If the CBC is to
be considered in the disposal of PEP materials, additional costs could be
associated with certification of the system for these wastes.

        Developmental Status:  The technology is fully operational and
deployed on thermal treatment projects.  Two plants are currently in operation
on contaminated solid site remediation projects;  a third will be placed in
early 1990 on a town gas residue site remediation project; a fourth unit will
be available for placement in June 1990.

        a.  Waterjet Abrasive Cutting

        The Office of the Project Manager for Awnunition Logistics
(PM-AM40LOG) , Picatinny Arsenal, NJ conducted a test during FY 89 to cut a
live 105mm projectile by use of a water/abrasive jet cutting system.  The
lOSntn ammunition was used as a typical munition to be rendered safe by
severing the fuze and explosive components from the round under field
conditions.  The HE projectile/ with booster/ fuze/ and supplementary charge
(all live) were cut remotely.  The water/abrasive jet can cut mild steel 3/4
of an inch thick at a rate of 4 inches per minute which would make it an
acceptable tool in a demilitarization operation.  The objective of
PM-AM40LOG' s program is to demonstrate a state-of-the-art technology to


                                  3-53

-------
improve the safety and productivity of the BOD technician in rendering safe
ordnance and to prepare a descriptive package for the U.S. Army Ordnance
Missile and Munitions Center & School  (USACMCS) to use in support and
preparation of an Army Requirement for submission to the DOD BOD Program
Board.

        Application:  All munitions that can be rendered safe by severing the
activation device from the explosives.

        Capacity:  A production rate is not applicable to an ECO operation.

        Operating Costs:  Not applicable.

        Process Control:  Remote

        Reclamation Quality:  Not applicable for ECO.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Not applicable for ECO, would have to be
considered for demilitarization operation.

        Environmental Constraints:  Not applicable for ECO, would have to be
considered for demilitarization operation.

        Data Gaps:  The technology has been well established/ only the size
and weight reduction for improved portability will have to be developed.

        Construction Cost:  Rough order of magnitude  (RCM) purchase cost is
$75-80K.

        Developmental Cost:  $1M RCM

        Developmental Status:  Proof-of-principle technical demonstration has
been completed and results and tech data will be submitted to USACMCS to
support an army requirement.  The DOD BOD Program Board will decide on a
potential joint service development by the Naval ECO Technical Center.
Remaining tasks include weight reduction, portability/ and other
militarization standards.  There are commercial "off-the-shelf" systems
presently available from Ingersol Rand and Flow Industries which are
acceptable to various applications including remote operation.

        b.  Waterjet Abrasive Cutting

        The Flow International Corp./ Kent/ WA is the world's leader in
ultrahigh-pressure waterjets and abrasive jets for industrial cutting and
milling.  Since 1974, Flow has delivered over 1,000 water jet and abrasive  jet
systems to a variety of industries in 43 countries.  Flow accounts for more
than 70 percent, of worldwide sales of such systems.
        Their ultrahigh-pressure intensifier pump pressurizes water up to
55,000 psi and forces it through a nozzle, as small as 0.004 inches in
diameter, generating a high velocity waterjet at speeds  to 3,000 feet per
second.  This waterjet can cut a variety of non-metallic materials.  To cut
metallic or hard materials, Flow has developed  a device  that entrains
abrasives into the waterjet to enhance the cutting capability.  This
high-velocity abrasive jet  (PASER) can cut virtually  any material.  Abrasives,

such as garnet or aluminum oxide, are entrained in the high-velocity water jet,
and the resulting abrasive jet cuts thick metal plates/ composite materials,
ceramics, and glass.  The PASER cuts with little heat, causes no metallurgical
changes, can cut under water  (or liquid) , and leaves a quality edge that
usually requires no additional finishing.  The PASER is easily integrated with
computer controlled motion systems.  One of the advantages of the system is
that the intensifier unit can be positioned up to 400 feet away from the
cutting/milling operation.
        Besides the 55,000 psi intensifier units, Flow has also developed the
accessory equipment such as ultrahigh-pressure tubing, hoses, swivels, on/off
valves, and an array of the water jet nozzles.
        Figure 37 shows a line drawing of the abrasive jet cutting nozzle, and
Figure 38 shows a schematic of the abrasive jet cutting system.

        Application:  Abrasive cutting of metals and ccnposites.

        Operating Costs:  Approximately $35.00/hr.

        Process Control:  Manual or automated.

        Reclamation Quality:  None

        Waste Streams Generated:  There may be some pink water if the system
is used to demilitarization HE munitions; however, the application can be
designed to keep contaminants to a minimum.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  The process to Demilitarization munitions will have to be
developed.

        Construction Cost:  The intensifier alone would cost up to $80,000 and
a system that would include a large X-Y cutter  (table) could cost up to
$225,000.

        Developmental Cost:  Each Demilitarization application would require
some fixture developmental costs.

        Developmental Status:  A wide assortment of equipment is available off
the self.
    6.  Fr]ftCtrochenvic/?l pe^jtuction — T*»?tf Ajgixfr* Process

        Electrochemical reduction is an chemical reaction driven by  an
electrical current.  This process has been used with limited success at  Iowa
Army Ammunition Plant and Savanna Army Depot to dispose  of  lead azide.   The
following description is of the system used for the pilot run at Iowa AAP.
The system was assembled around a 1700 gallon stainless  steel tank.   The tank
was heated with steam by means of two flat heating panels suspended  against
the inside.  Two 30 gpm centrifugal pumps were provided  as  shown in  figure 39.
One punp was used to transfer electrolyte to an auxiliary tank system in which
lead azide was dissolved prior to addition to the  tank,  the other  is used to
provide agitation.  The agitation was accomplished by drawing in electrolyte

and discharging it through a perforated length of 1 inch pipe laid along the
bottom of the tank.  Means were provided for the remote starting and stopping
of these pumps.  Further agitation was provided by a propeller-type air driver.
stirrer.
        Electrolysis was carried out with stainless steel electrodes.  These
were 6- by 36-inch strips of approximately 0.043-inch thickness at one end.
A a strip approximately 1-inch wide was bent back to form a angle of
approximately 30 degrees with the main body of the electrode.
        To suspend the electrodes and connect them to the power supply,
15 3/4-inch diameter stainless steel electrode bars were provided.  These were
laid across the width of the tank at 6-inch intervals, supported by insulated
yokes which clamped to the flange.  Five-eight inch insulated copper cables
were clanped to both ends of the rods and attached to the power supply to make
the rods alternately positive and negative.  The electrodes were installed by
hanging them from the rods by means of the bent ends.  The power supply was a
variable voltage unit with a 3000 Amp. capacity, having a voltage range of 0
to 9.
        Addition of lead azide was carried out by dissolving it in an
auxiliary "add" tank of about 75 gallon capacity and then transferred into the
main tank.  The lead azide was placed in a five gallon container which was
supported within a filter bag that was suspended inside the add tank.  The
azide was flushed into the filter bag with a stream of electrolyte.  The bag
was then flushed with electrolyte until the azide was all dissolved and
transferred to the electrolysis tank.
        When the system was placed in operation, the electrolysis tank was
charged with approximately 1600 gallons of water, to which was added
sufficient commercial grade sodium hydroxide (approximately 2670 Ubs.)  to
bring the concentration to 20 percent.  The electrodes were installed and
3/4-inch hollow polyethylene spheres were added until they formed a continuous
surface layer.  This reduced evaporation and the tendency for a mist of sodium
hydroxide solution to form in the air around the tank.  Rosin and sodium
potassium tartaric were added to give a concentration of 0.6 percent rosin,
and 5 percent tartrate.

        Application:  Lead azide or other fillers that contain a metal that
can be dissolved in a electrolite and electrolyticly plated out.

        Capacity:  The pilot plant described was capable of processing 25
pounds/hour.  A larger system would be able to do more

        Operating Costs:  To be determined on a case by case basis.

        Process Control:  The process was carried out by manually charging the
system, then by starting the pumps and stirs from a remote location.

        Reclamation Quality:  Metallic lead originally of fairly good quality,
but during storage it became badly oxidized.  Consolidation into ingots is
difficult.  If the lead is spongy or in sufficiently thin sheets, attempts to
melt it into a coherent mass lead to heavy oxidation.  This could be overcome
by melting in an inert or reducing atmosphere.

        Waste Streams Generated:  After processing there was a sludge on the
bottom of the tank.  This sludge was 43 percent water.  On a dry basis, its
lead content was approximately 73 percent.  Approximately 55 percent of the

                                  3-59

-------
azide introduced into the system as lead azide was still present as sodium
azide, a highly poisonous material.

        Environmental Constraints:  Due to the lead present in the sludge,  it
would be a RCRA waste for heavy metals.  Disposal of this material as is in a
hazardous waste landfill may present a problem due to the mixture of sodium
azide and lead in the sludge.

        Data Gaps:  The conversion of approximately 15 percent of the lead to
oxides is a direct consequence of the use of sodium hydroxide as the
electrolyte, as this puts the lead into solution in a anionic form.  Sodium
hydroxide also appears to inhibit the oxidation of azide ion to nitrogen.

        Construction Cost:  Not Applicable.

        Developmental Cost:  Not Applicable.

        Developmental Status:  This process has been proven to be only a step
in the disposal of lead azide.  The process only eliminated the immediate
threat of initiation of the explosive.  Upon completion of the process the
sludge must be treated further to preclude any recombination of the components
present in the sludge and dispose of any residue that results.
    7.  PTpn^Cj?^ C/TfTuyrsiCfi •* FS,

        The process described in this section could be used on a select few of
the fillers in the demilitarization account.  The fillers that are either
acidic or basic can be neutralized and the resulting solution and precipitate
may be disposed of by conventional means so long as no RCRA waste is produced.
The process as outlined in the following paragraphs has been successfully
completed on several hundred 55 gallon drums of bulk FS smoke mixture
(solution of sulfur trioxide dissolved in chlorosulfonic acid) .
        The initial step was to safely transfer the FS contents of the drums
to the receiving/storage chamber.  This was done by placing the drums into a
transfer chamber that was subsequently purged with nitrogen.  The drum was
then punched and the FS content was withdrawn to the receiving/storage
chamber.  When the transfer was completed the punch was removed and the hole
was plugged using a plug made out of Tyvek Saranex.  The drum was then
transferred to the drum neutralization area where a fine spray of soda
ash/nitrogen gas was introduced into the drum to neutralize any liquid still
present. The drums are then crushed and disposed of.
        When the receiving/storage tank contains a sufficient quantity for
transporting a tank truck is brought in.  To move the FS solution from the
storage tank to the truck a partial vacuum is established in the tanker,
followed by purging with nitrogen gas.  A closed system is maintained between
the tanker and storage chamber by using a hose to connect the top of the two
vessels thus providing a constant equilibrium.  When transfer is complete all
valves are closed so that the FS is transported under a nitrogen atmosphere.
        To neutralize the FS smoke the material is drained into a very rapid
water flow system.  The end of the FS smoke release tube is placed at the
bottom of the stream.  This positioning, and the rapid flow of the water
eliminates evolution of excessive heat and fumes.  This dilute solution is
then allowed to mix with lime slurry in water-cooled 4 million gallon tanks.
The following reaction describes the neutralization:

                                   3-60

-------
        Chlorosulfonic Acid + Lime   Gypsum + Calcium Chloride

        Sulphur Trioxide + water   Sulfuric Acid

        Sulfuric Acid + Lime   Calcium Sulfate + water

        After the reaction is complete, the precipitates of calcium sulfate
and calcium chloride are filtered.  The resulting cake is buried in a landfill
and the water is be recycled.

        Application:  Any acidic or basic chemical fillers.

        Capacity:  Will vary with the system employed and chemical used.

        Operating Costs:  Will vary with the system employed and the chemicals
used.

        Process control:  The system is mechanically controlled with values
and pumps.

        Reclamation Quality:  None

        Waste Streams Generated:  In this example a filter cake that is
disposed of in a landfill and an aqueous stream that can be discharged through
the sanitary sewer.

        Environmental Constraints:  When FS is exposed to the atmosphere The
sulfur tnoxide evaporates and reacts with moisture to form sulfuric acid
vapor that in turn, condense to form small drops of liquid or smoke particles.
Thus the need for a nitrogen atmosphere during handling.

        Data gaps:  Due to the limited types of fillers that are available for
this process there appears to be no data gaps.

        Construction Costs:  Not applicable.

        Developmental Cost:  Not applicable.

        Developmental Status:  Development, corpleted.


    8.  Detonation Chamber

        The Systems, Science, and Software  (S-Cubed), Green Farm Test Site, La
Jolla, CA designed and constructed a six-foot diameter steel sphere for the
containment of explosive experiments.  Charges of twenty pounds can be
detonated in the air or in a vacuum environment.  Charges of one hundred
pounds of C-4 have been contained by adding a heat-sink material  (coke) inside
the sphere.  The sphere can also be used for testing items at a maximum static
pressure of SOOOpsi.
        The steel sphere for contained explosions may have some of the same
applications as the bang box.  It's advantages would be the containment of the
particles and the low noise level emitted.  The disadvantages would be the
clean up after the explosion and the low thoughput rate.

-------
        The bang box would have to be extensively redesigned tc be applicable
for a demilitarization operation.  It would not be acceptable with metal
parts.
        Application:  Confined detonations of explosions.
        Capacity:  Very low, no more than 2 shoots/day.
        Operating Costs:  It would be high due to low throughput rates.
        Process Control:  None
        Reclamation Quality:  Not applicable.
        Waste Streams Generated:  None
        Environmental Constraints:  None
        Data Gaps:  The low through-put rate will have to be increased.
        Construction Cost:  Unknown
        Developmental Cost:  Undetermined at this time.
        Developmental Status: Operational at S-Cubed.

B.  EMERGING" TECHNOLOGIES

    1.

        a.  High Pressure - Waterjet

        The Naval Weapons Support Center Crane, Ordnance Engineering
Department, has worked with the University of Missouri-Rolla  (UMR) since 1982,
investigating the use of high pressure water jets to remove plastic bonded
explosives (PBX) from ordnance.  An automated pilot plant for removal of PBX
from munitions has been designed, fabricated, installed and tested at UMR.
The heart of this system is the Waterjet Ordnance and Munitions Blastcleaner
with Automated Telluroraetry  (WOMBAT).  The WOMBAT was designed as a
state-of-the-art system for maneuvering the water jet lance through a variety
of different geometries to be encountered in the various munitions.  In order
to make this an automated system, a multi-tasking computer is used to monitor
and control the different activities which the lance must perform.  The WOMBAT
is located in a specially constructed underground facility at the UMR
Experimental Mine.  The controlling computer is located in a trailer outside
the entrance to the experimental mine.  The munition items are transported to
and from the washout station by an automated monorail system.

                                   4-1

-------
        Application:  PBX filled munitions, rocket motors.

        Capacity:  The production capacity will vary depending on the size and
configuration of munitions.

        Operating Costs:   Unknown at this time,  However, should be comparable
to other washout/steamout technologies.

        Process Control:   The size of particles relieved is controlled by the
cutting parameters selected, velocity, pressure, and nozzle configuration,
etc.

        Reclamation Quality:  The munition cases are cleaned of all energetic
material and can be reused without flashing.  The reclamation/reuse of the PBX
filler is currently being investigated.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None.  The washout is filtered and
recirculated back into the system.  The filters can be disposed of by sanitary
landfill or incineration.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  Washout procedures need to be developed for each type of
munition.

        Construction Cost:  $700,000/excluding facility cost.

        Developmental Cost:  Undetermined at this time.

        Developmental Status:  Contract with UMR has expired.  Testing
performed to date has been successful.  Additional testing is needed to
develop washout procedures for specific munitions.  Munitions with complex
internal configurations need further investigation.  Reference report R015,
appendix A.

        b.  Solvent

        The Naval Weapons Support Center Crane, Ordnance Engineering
Department, conducted an investigation  (1982-1983) for the development of
solvent systems for the polyamide and fluorocopolymers that are used as
binders in Navy plastic bonded explosive  (PBX) systems.  The solvents were to
have flash points above 100 degrees F, exhibit low toxicity, be reasonably
priced, and of standard commercial purity and availability.
        The objective of this project was to develop solvent systems for
polyamide and f luorocopolymers used as binders in PBXN-3, PBXN-4, PBXN-5  and
PBXN-6 which fulfill the above requirements.  A solvent blend of 40 percent
methylene chloride and 60 percent nethanol was selected for the evamide binder
used in PBXN-6.  These two  solvent blends where investigated in dissolving the
binders in this series of PBX's.  In addition, they are commercially available
at reasonable prices.
                                    4-2

-------
        Both solvent systems use methylene chloride as the non-solvent
component of the blend.  This is desirable because the wash solvent can be
used as the primary solvent 'with no expensive separation required.  Methylene
chloride boils at 104 degrees Fahrenheit, thus it can be readily removed from
the elvamide or viton.  Additionally, it is a non-solvent for the hexagen BDX
or octogen HMX, so while the viton or elvamide is in the solution of the
primary solvent, the RDX or HMX can be filtered, washed and dried to produce
reusable material.

        Application:  Reclamation of the explosive components of PBX's
obtained from the high pressure washout of Navy munitions.

        Capacity:  Not applicable.

        Operating Costs:  Not applicable.

        Process Control:  Not applicable.

        Reclamation Quality:  The reclaimed explosives can be reused in
military munitions or sold to commercial sources.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Undetermined at this time.

        Environmental Constraints:  Undetermined at this time.

        Construction Cost:  Undetermined at this time.

        Developmental Cost:  Undetermined at this time.

        Developmental Status:  This study was completed in 1983.  However,
additional research performed in 1985 at UMR used these solvent systems and
were successful.  The current contract with El Dorado Engineering, Inc. calls
for development of solvent systems for additional Navy and Air Force PBX's as
part of a five year pilot plant development effort.

        c.  Solvent - Extraction of PBX Materials

        The Naval Weapons Support Center, Ordnance Engineering Department, has
been investigating the use of solvent extraction and ingredient recovery
methods for PBX since 1983.  In August of 1988 a contract was awarded to El
Dorado Engineering, Inc.  (EDE) to develop a 20 Kg EBX solvent
extraction/ingredient recovery pilot plant.  This will be an automated system,
with provisions for multi-solvent storage/ solvent distillation and recycling,
process water disposal, etc.  Prior to design and construction of a 20 Kg
pilot plant, lab-scale and bench-scale  (IKg) tests will be performed on the
various PBX's of interest.  The lab-scale testing is currently in progress.
Equipment has been procured and operating procedures for the bench-scale
testing have been established.  Testing of the bench-scale plant will begin in
the first quarter of FY 90.  The development effort on the 20 Kg pilot plant
should be completed by FY 93, when EDE's contract expires.  Future plans call
                                    4-3

-------
for integration of this pilot plant with the high pressure washout pilot
plant.  The Navy will then have the technology to derail PBX filled munitions
and recover the valuable constituent ccrponents

        Application:  PBX materials obtained from high pressure washout of the
munitions.  Particle size normally will be approximately 1/8 inch in diameter.
The process could also have application to rodcet motor propellant.

        Capacity:  The process would have to be scaled-up to production
capacity, which can not be determined at this point.

        Operating Costs:  To be determined.

        Process Control:  Reclaimed materials will be subjected to chemical
analysis.  Process 'streams will be monitored and the waste streams will be
analyzed and treated for proper disposal.

        Reclamation Quality:  The reclaimed ingredients will meet
specification requirements and can be reused or sold to commercial sources.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Solvents containing various i:_nder products.

        Environmental Constraints:  None

        Data Gaps:  Bench-scale and pilot plant testing, econcraic analysis of
solvent extraction/ingredient recovery methods, documentation of process.

        Construction Cost:  To be determined.

        Developmental Costs:  $2/300,000 for pilot plant development.

        Developmental Status:  Lab-scale testing has been completed on
different PBX's.  A preliminary hazard analysis of the solvent extraction and
ingredient recovery process is in progress.  Due to a cut in funding for the
demil program for FY 90, the bench-scale testing program will be extend
through FY 91.  The development effort on the 20 Kg pilot plant will be
completed in FY 93.


    2.  Reclamation:

         a.  Propellant Recovery/Reuse

         The U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency  (USATHAMA.),
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD has been developing a technique to recover
obsolete or off-spec single-, double-, or triple-based propellants as an
alternative to thermal destruction of these materials.  The technique used
employs processing of the waste propellants for their reintroduction to the
propellant production process.  The initial process  involves grinding the
waste propellant under water, drying it, and packing it into drums.  New
propellant can be produced by resolvating the ground propellant  in an existing
                                     4-4

-------
propeliant production line.  Because of the ability to resolvate the
propellant in an existing line/ the only additional process necessary to
implement the resolvation is that which is necessary to grind the waste
propellant.

        Application:  This process applies to off-spec or obsolete single-,
double-, or triple-base propellants.

        Capacity:  This process can be designed to meet production
requirements.  Preliminary design ana cost estimates have been prepared basea
on an average production level of 500 pounds per hour.

        Operating Costs:  Preliminary cost estimates prepared on the recovery
of single-base propellant have indicated a net total operating cost of $2.1
million.  If a credit for avoidance of cost associated with the purchase of
raw materials is taken, a net operating credit of $1.6 million may be
realized.  Additionally, if a credit for avoidance of costs associated with
incinerating the waste propellant is considered, a total net operating credit
of $3.0 million may be realized.

        Process Control:  In order to conduct this operation safely, it will
be necessary to establish careful process control.  However, no problems are
anticipated in controlling the process within given parameters,

        Reclamation Quality:  The process, as designed, is incorporated into
the propellant production process directly and, as such, no additional
processing is required.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None anticipated.

        Environmental Constraints:  None anticipated.

        Data Gaps:  Pilot-scale/demonstration is necessary to identify quality
of product achievable from jjiplementation of this process.

        Construction Cost:  Based on preliminary design data, the capital
costs, development costs are estimated at $1.0 million.

        Developmental Cost:  Excluding construction and capital costs,
development costs are estimated at $1.0 million.

        Development Status:  This technology has been subjected to
laboratory-scale tests and preliminary cost analyses have been conducted.
Pilot-scale/demonstration testing will be developed for implementation in
fiscal year  (Fi) 91-92.

        b.  Energy Recovery

        The U.S. Army Toxic Hazardous Materials Agency  (USATHAMA.), Aberdeen
Proving Ground, MD, is developing a means to recover the energy from energetic
materiels through burning in industrial broilers.  A pilot scale  (1.4 million
BTU/hr) commercial boiler is in fabrication for this development.  Mixtures of
TNT or composition B with number 2 fuel oil and a solvent will be burned to


                                    4-5

-------
produce steam.  A savings of 30 to 40 cents per gallon of fuel oil is expected
using this technology.  Capital for auxiliary systems has a payback dependent.
on cost of disposal and quantity of explosives.  Property measurements for
nitrocelluloce as a supplemental fuel are also underway.  Figure 40 shows a
diagram of a supplemental fuel system block.

        Application:  This process applies to energetic materials that can be
dissolved in fuel oil such as TNT.

        Capacity:  5 to 15% by weight of explosives to fuel oil.  This limits
the capacity only by the requirement to produce steam from fuel oil.

        Operating Costs:  To be determined.

        Process Control:  Manual addition of explosives to solvent is the only
operation other than system monitoring at this time.  System operational
control is identical to a commercial boiler.

        Reclamation Quality:  End items is energy at 4,000 to 6,500 BTU/lb of
explosive.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None expected.

        Environmental Constraints:  -None expected.

        Data Gaps:  Current research and development is aimed at
characterizing stack emissions and determining optimum conditions for
significant parameters, such as ratio of explosives to fuel oil, excess air,
etc.
        Construction Cost:  Use of existing boilers is anticipated.  Feed
system cost is expected to be in the S500K range.

        Developmental Cost:  Current expenditure is approxijnately $1.2
million.  An additional $500K to 5800K is expected to be required.

        Developmental Status:   Pilot scale demonstration at Hawthorne Army
Ammunition Plant is in preparation and is expected to be completed March 1990.
Development data/results will subsequently be submitted to DOD/DA safety
authorities for review.  Final transition from developmental to operation
status is planned as a demonstration burn at an installation heating plant;
site to be determined.  Technology should be available for implementation in
1992.
    3.  Cc**"^ rolled Incinerg'tiOf* ~ Static

        The Naval Weapons Support Center, Applied Sciences Department, Crane,
IN has a contract with Los Alamos National Laboratory  (LftNL) , Los Alamos, NM
to develop an Air Controlled Incinerator  (ACI) to thermally  dispose  of
toxic/carcinogenic materials such as organic dyes contained  in  colored smoke
compositions.  The incinerator will be  a  scaled down model of the LANL
Incinerator that was used to incinerate a sample  of both Navy and Army smokes

    4 .
        Cryofracture is a general purpose method for accessing and size
reducing explosives within munitions in preparation for subsequent destruction
or recovery operations.  The process was developed under a U.S. Army contract
by General Atomics for chenical agent munitions/ which have configurations
nearly identical to many conventional munitions.  Accordingly, little
development effort is needed to apply the technology to many conventional
munitions .  For unique or ICM' s some development is needed to verify adequate
accessing and size reduction.
        In the process, munitions are immersed in a bath of liquid nitrogen
and cooled below -200 degrees Fahrenheit.  The brittle munitions are then
placed in a hydraulic press and crushed.  The munition fragments are
discharged from the press to the next process step - either an incinerator or
an explosive recovery process.
        For chemical agent munitions, the cryofracture process is highly
automated and remotely controlled to minimize exposure of personnel to the
hazards of explosives and chemical agents.  Robots are used to unpack and
handle munitions.  Remotely interchangeable components such as robot end
effectors and press tooling preclude the need for routine hands-on maintenance


                                    4-8

-------
activities.  Many of these features are directly applicable to conventional
munition demilitarization.  Figure 41 shows a drawing of the integrated
prototype line at General Atomics for cryofracturing inert chemical munitions.
This fully automated and remotely controlled process line may be more
elaborate than would be required for conventional munitions demil.

        Application:  As a general means of accessing and size reducing
explosive, cryofracture can be applied to most munitions in the demil
inventory.  Most conventional munitions, and particularly the most common and
numerous types, are made of carbon steel, which easily brittle fractures at
cryogenic temperatures.  In a few cases, munitions are made of aluminum or
thin stainless steel.  While these materials do not brittle fracture at liquid
nitrogen temperatures, they are easily sheared by the cryofracture tooling.
        Cryofracture is insensitive to subtle details of munitions design.
Complex munitions such as improved conventional munitions  (ICM's) are
particularly suited for cryofracture, since their complex internal
configurations represent severe safety hazards during manual disassembly.
        In the application of cryofracture to chemical agent munitions, the
technology was developed and demonstrated for a variety of munition
configurations including 105mm projectiles and cartridges, 155mm projectiles,
8-inch projectiles, 115mm rockets  (which have a steel rocket motor and an
aluminum warhead), 4.2-inch mortars, and land mines.
        One important aspect of cryofracture is that the munition casings are
completely destroyed and rendered unusable.  This characteristic may be an
advantage or disadvantage, depending on the particular demil mission.

        Capacity:  The capacity of the cryofracture process for conventional
munitions demilitarization is unknown at this time, but is generally lijnited
only by the material handling operation  (i.e., cycle time to transport and
feed munitions into the process and transport fragments away from the
process).  With sufficient cryobath capacity  (which is usually in the range of
several hundred square feet of bath area) munition cooldown time is not a
controlling factor.  As developed for chemical munition demil, cryofracture
was demonstrated at a design throughput rate of one munition every 30 seconds.
In one special case, the process can fracture two munitions at a time every 30
seconds for a rate of 240 munitions per hour.  This range of throughput rates
should be adequate for most of the larger conventional munitions and the rate
should be much greater for small arms ammunition or rounds in the size range
of 40 to 90mm.

        Operating Costs:  Operating cost for cryofracture as applied to
conventional demil have not been developed.  However, certain cost elements
are expected to be unique. First, there is the cost of liquid nitrogen usage
associated with the cryofracture process.  Based on the development work done
for chemical munitions, the cost of liquid nitrogen for cooling munitions is a
very small fraction of the total operating costs.  Liquid nitrogen tends to be
plentiful and inexpensive throughout the continental United States.
        Significant unique operational cost advantages are expected for the
cryofracture process, when compared to manual disassembly  (or reverse
assembly).  For cryofracture, there are only two process steps - cool and
crush regardless of the munition configuration.  Thus, operational costs are
expected to be reduced for a) the cost to man and operate the system, and b)

-------
the cost to maintain the equipment.  This last consideration if further
enhanced by the fundamental nature of cryofracture - that no fine adjustments
are needed for individual munitions or from one munition type to another.  The
process is very insensitive to munition details.  Thus, high reliability and
low operational manpower requirements are expected to result in low operating
costs as compared to other methods of disassembly and size reduction.

        Process Control:  The process control system developed and
demonstrated for cryofracture of chemical munitions is a fully integrated
highly automated rerrvote control system that controls the functions of several
robots to unpack and handle munitions in and out of the cryobath and the
fracture press for crushing the munitions.  This highly sophisticated system,
which includes error recovery software and many other advanced features, is
available for application to conventional demil with few, if any, changes.
Simpler process control methods may be preferred for conventional demil
applications which do not have the added hazard of chemical agents.  It should
be relatively easy to detune and simplify the process control system for such
applications, without losing any of the inherent safety features or
operational efficiency advantages.

        Reclamation Quality:  In the cryofracture process, the metal parts are
not reusable, but can be sold as scrap,  for cryogenic washout, the casings
are not damaged, and can be scrapped or reused.  Since cryofracture is a means
of accessing and size reduction, it must be matched to a subsequent process
for either the destruction or recovery of the cryofracture process is that it
does not dilute or contaminate the explosives, which may be an important
factor in recovery for reuse.

        Waste Streams Generated:  As noted above, cryofracture produces no
waste streams which is a primary advantage in comparison to other processes
such as high pressure water washout.

        Environmental Constraints:  There is no known environmental impact for
the cryofracture process.

        Data Gaps:  The cryofracture process is well developed and
demonstrated for chemical munitions.  The process should perform equally well
for a large number of conventional munitions with configurations similar to
chemical munitions.  Of course, verification testing is recommended to confirm
this.  For other munitions, which do not have a close chemical analog, a well
structured development program is needed, which could be patterned after the
successful chemical munition development program to include cooldown tests,
explosive sensitivity test, and fracture tests.  This program may sinply
amount to a process verification effort, but should still be performed for
each unique munition.

        Construction Cost:  The process equipment costs for conventional
munition cryofracture are not well defined at present and will depend on the
specific application.  However, the equipment costs for chemical munition
cryofracture are well defined and can be used as a starting point for
                                   4-11

-------
conventional munition applications.  The cost (in 1990 dollars) for the major
conponents in the cryofracture process are given below for a process
throughput rate of 120 munitions per hour.

        The above cost with options are for a fully automated, remotely
controlled process, designed for continuous operation at 120 munitions per
hour.  A bar bones cryofracture process for processing 30 munitions per hour
with manual unpack and munition handling is estimated to cost about 31-2M
installed.

        Developmental Cost:  The cryofracture process has been developed and
demonstrated for chemical agent munitions.  Minimal development is needed to
transfer the technology to conventional munitions of similar configuration.
For munitions with unique configurations, such as ICM's, a development program
is required to adapt cryofracture to the specific requirements of the
munition.  Depending on the number of different types and sizes of munitions
in the development effort, the cost could range from an estimated $1M to $7M
over 1 to 5 years to cover laboratory, bench scale and prototype testing.
Integration of the process with destruction or recovery technologies would
require addition funding.

        Developmental Status:  Cryofracture has been developed and
demonstrated for chemical agent munitions.  A government owned integrated
prototype line exists at General Atomics Facility in San Diego, CA.  Explosive
test equipment, including a 500 ton press, is also available at an explosive
test site in San Diego.  Much of the work performed in the $40M program to
develop cryofracture for chemical munitions is directly applicable to
conventional munitions.  Reference report RD01, appendix A.
    5.  Super/Sufr CritACfrJ- Fluids

        The U.S. Army Missile Catmand  QCCOK), Propulsion Directorate,
Research, Development and Engineering Center, Bedstone Arsenal, AL has
successfully demonstrated an innovative application of critical fluid
extraction  (CFE) technology for the demilitarization of prcpellant, explosive,
and pyrotechnic  (PEP) munitions .  The MICQM method of CFE demilitarization
represents a radical departure from traditional open burniiKj/open detonation
 (OB/OD) disposal methods.  It offers an environmentally safe and  straight
forward approach for resource recovery, reclamation, and/or in-situ
neutralization of otherwise hazardous munitions and ingredients.  The method
circumvents traditional ingredient solvation processes, avoids the  use  of
water or hazardous  organic solvents, and  does not generate  additional
hazardous wastes.   This demilitarization  process  is nonpolluting, cost
effective,  and environmentally acceptable.

                                   4-12

-------
        In the KICCK CFE demilitarization method, gases are compressed and
"fluidized" under pressure to near-critical liquid (NCL) and supercritical
fluid  (SCF) conditions.  These fluids serve as non-traditional extraction
solvents when used in their NCL or SCF conditions.  The unusual solvating
properties of critical fluids can enhance selective and rapid extraction of
PEP ingredients from conplex munition conpositions.  The CFE demilitarization
process takes advantage of gas-to-liquid and liquid-to-gas phase transitions
which occur during the conpression and expansion  (pressure reduction) of all
confined gases.  Because the CFE process is similar to the operation of
closed-loop air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, continuous recycling
of the solvent is possible.  The main differences reside in the selection of
an appropriate critical fluid solvent, and the incorporation of an extraction
vessel and a pressure reduction (expansion) chamber for ingredient recovery.
Cotplete recovery of soluble ingredients is obtained by controlling the phase
transition of the NCL or SCF solvent to the gaseous state.  Liquefaction and
recompression of the original CFE solvent completes the continuous
demilitarization cycle.  A simplified schematic of a CFE  system is shown in
figure 42.
        The MICCM CFE demilitarization process, albeit simple in design, has
been experimentally shown to be extremely effective for class 1.3 AP composite
propellants and has similar usage potential for related PEP munitions.  The
primary advantages of the demilitarization process are:
        1.  It uses mature, well-developed technologies.  CFE technology is a
proven industrial process that can be applied to munitions demilitarization
and hazardous waste minimization.
        2.  The process is environmental acceptable.  The system is completely
self-contained, meaning no pollution of air or water environments.
        3.  The method is economically advantageous.  Strategic raw materials
can be recovered.  CFE solvents are low cost, reclyclable for continuous
processing, and do"no generate additional hazardous wastes,
        4.  Transportable facilities appear to be feasible.  This process
lends itself to mobility, as the various components can be designed in modular
form.

        Application:  MICOM has been successful in applying CFE processes to
propellant and explosive demilitarization.  A specific process that is ready
for transition from research to pilot plant demonstration is the near-critical
liquid (NCL) ammonia demilitarization of rocket motors containing ammonium
perchlorate (AP) composite propellants.  This demilitarization method consists
of a straight forward, four-step, continuous process.  Step one involves
removing the AP propellant from the rocket motor by hydraulic erosion using
NCL ammonia.  Step two extracts the oxidizer CAP) and separates the AP/liquid
ammonia solution and binder residue  (crumb).  Step three recovers the AP by
evaporating the ammonia.  Step four condenses the ammonia vapor and recycles
the liquid ammonia for a continuous removal/extraction operation.  The CFE
process is efficient and is conducted at ambient temperatures and low
operating pressures.
        In addition to class 1.3 AP composite propellants, MICCM has
successfully applied its CFE process to other related class 1.3 and 1.1 PEP
munitions.  The MICCM demilitarization program is broad-based and has included
the investigation of several CFE solvent systems.  The MICCM method offers a
unique alternative to current OB/CO disposal practices and provides high
pay-off potential for propellant and.conventional ammunition demilitarization.

MICCM has tested the CFE process at the laboratory scale for a variety of
conventional munitions and high energy materials.  Plans for system
engineering design, prototype scale-up, and testing of system specific
processes are in progress.  Figure 43 shows a flow chart for a proposed LPM
CFE process.

        Capacity:  The simplicity of the MICCM CFE demilitarization process
makes it particularly amenable to system scale-up.  System specific processes
are considered viable for applications which range from large ICBM rocket
motors to small hand grenade munitions.

        Operating Costs:  Believed to be low.  Costs will vary in accordance
with system specific requirements, size of munitions, and whether smaller
ammunitions can be demilitarized in bulk (soak) processes.  Snail and mobile
designs are feasible.

        Process Control:  All system configurations are intended to utilize
existing technologies and off-the-shelf industrial components.

        Reclamation Quality:  The CFE process provides high quality, high
yield ingredient reclamation.  The process has an extensive industrial base
which can be readily adapted to meet the needs of the munitions industry.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The process is designed to eliminate or
minimize hazardous waste generation.

        Environmental Constraints:  Minimal constraints are anticipated as the
CFE demilitarization method addresses emerging Environmental Protection
legislative acts on Clean Air, Clean Water, Hazardous Waste reduction,
Resource Conservation and Recovery, and Federal Facility Contamination.
Therefore, the MICCM critical fluid demilitarization method offers defense
contractors, NASA, and the DOD a "clean" process which will be economical and
meet EPA environmental concerns.

        Data Gaps:  The CFE demilitarization process for recovery of ammonium
perchlorate from composite propellants is ready for transitions from research
to pilot plant demonstration.  This effort will provide an extensive data base
in support of other munition demilitarization applications which are presently
under consideration.

        Construction Costs:  Believed to be highly competitive with cost
savings through joint ventures with private industries.

        Developmental Costs:  Costs will vary in accordance with the specific
demilitarization effort.  Typical system engineering design, testing, and
evaluation costs are estimated to be $1.5M per system.

        Developmental Status:  A process to meet the demilitarization
requirements for class 1.3 large rocket motors is ready for transition to
pilot plant demonstration.  Sdjralar processes for conventional munition
applications have been demonstrated at the laboratory scale.  Funding is
required for prototype engineering design and evaluation.

    6,  Cfrudflt?-0^ ~ Rgd/Pink. Water

        The Lummus Crest Inc., a subsidiary of Combustion Engineering  (C-E),
Inc., Bloomfield, NJ have performed experiments on red water.  The laboratory
analysis of the sanples obtained had a 14 percent dissolved substance with a
total organic carbon content of 4 to 5 percent, with sulfonated DNT and TNT
isomers.  The nigr- concentration of nitrite makes the red water unsuitable for
treatment with white rot fungus (WRF).
        C-E has experimented with three different methods to treat red water;
high temperature oxidation, low temperature treatment (LIT), and bio-mimetic
reduction.  Most of the particulars of these three methods are proprietary
information.  A more comprehensive explanation will have to provided at a
later date.  However some of the operating parameters for each process are as
follows:
        1.  High temperature supercritical oxidation has been tested in a
laboratory batch unit at 400 degrees Celsius with an initial oxygen pressure
of 80 psig.  The reaction time was less than 10 minutes.  The product had a
total organic carbon  {TOC)  of 8.0 percent which corresponds to an 82 percent
TOC removal.  Based on tests carried out on other chemicals, it is expected
that the continuous plant will achieve a TOC removal high than 99.99 percent.
        2.  The low tenperature treatment (LTT) operates at atmospheric
pressure and temperatures not exceeding the boiling point of water.
Laboratory tests in a batch system have resulted in a 92 percent TOC removal.
Optimization of this technology is expected to result in performances similar
to those of the high temperature oxidation.
        3.  Promising preliminary results will have to be confirmed before a
more detailed experimental program for the bio-tnimetic technology can be
developed for larger scale.

        Future activities:  The data available from the bench scale test will
be used for performing the process design and economic evaluation of both
these technologies in order to justify building and operating of a
demonstration plant on a slip stream of red water obtained in a producing
facility.  This work will cover:  (1)  Optimization of the temperature,
residence time and initial oxygen concentration for the high temperature
oxidation,  (2) Optimization of the residence time/ number of stages, and
energy consumption for the LTT.

    The bench scale research for the bio-mimetic process needs to be completed
before the technical and economic merits of this technology can be assessed.
Of the above mentioned processes, the LTT may have the greater advantage over
the high temperature oxidation.

        Application:  Bed/Pink Water.

        Capacity:  Size a <10 gal/hr.  scale model for all three methods.

        Operating Costs:  Minimal for all three methods in the scale model
test.
        Process Control:  Minimal for all three methods in the scale model
test.

        Reclamation Quality:  None

        Waste Streams Generated:  None anticipated

        Environmental Constraints:  None ' anticipated

        Data Gaps:  Technology is under development.

        Construction Cost:  For a scale model for the three methods,  it is
estimated the cost would be approximately $50-100, 000 each.

        Developmental Costs:  (1) 1/2 to 1 man/yr ($50-100,000), (2)  2 nan/yr

        Developmental Status:  Laboratory work is in process.

        a.  Metabolic Degradation Compounds by Microorganisms

        The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is performing an in-house
funded study to determine the feasibility of using microorganisms to degrade
high-explosive (HE) wastes.  The initial emphasis of the study is to develop a '
population of microorganisms that will degrade RDX and HMX present in
environmental media.  Microorganisms were originally obtained from
HE-contaminated waste lagoons at the Livermore site and are being adapted for
the degradation of HE in the laboratory.  Preliminary results indicate that
these microorganisms are capable of degrading RDX under aerobic conditions to
mineralized byproducts  (e.g. CC>2 and HoO) .  Work is now in progress to
determine the optimum conditions for HE degradation under dynamic
 (f lowthrough) conditions so that a bench-scale system will lead to the design
of a pilot-scale system to be applied at the site of contamination.

        Application:  Initially RDX and HMX contaminated water and soil; can
be expanded to address other HE contaminants.

        Capacity:  Undetermined at this time.

        Operating Costs:  Very low.

        Process Control:  Automated with occasional monitoring.

        Reclamation Quality:  None.  Contaminants are mineralized to carbon
dioxide and water.

        Waste Streams Generated:  None anticipated.

        Environmental Constraints:  None anticipated.

        Data Gaps:  Process conditions must be defined.

        Construction Cost:  Anticipated to be very  low.

        Developmental Costs:  Anticipated to be  low to moderate.
                                   4-18

-------
        Developmental Status:  In the feasibility-testing  stage.
Proof-of-principle experiments have successfully demonstrated that RDX can be
degraded.  Approximately two years are required for the development  of a
pilot-scale treatment system.

        b.  Fungus - Pink Water Treatment

        The LUTTTTUS Crest Inc., a subsidiary of Combustion  Engineering
C-E), Inc., Bioomfield, NJ has been doing bench sale  laboratory work using
white rot fungus  (WRF) to biodegraded pink water.  The process consist of
first growing  (culturing) the WRF by bring the micro-organism into contact
with a support medium, and letting the culture grow from 5-10 days.  After
this time, the growth medium is nitrogen starved for  a period of 3-4 days;
injection of additional.carbon into the mixture may enhance the process.  By
giving the WRF only enough "food" to subside, they have estimated that the WRF
culture would last 2-6 months.  C-E has experimented  with  two composition, TNT
pink water at 150-200 ppm at 80 degrees Celsius and RDX pink  water at  20-85
pptn at 80 degrees Celsius.  C-E have used two different mechanical devices ir.
their evaluation. The first is a Rotating Biological  Contactor  (BBC) and the
second is a Packed Column Unit.
        The bench scale RBC, shown in figure 44, is a "7 by 20 inch horizontal
cylinder divided into 4 equal conpartments. It has a  rotating shaft  in the
center with 8 cylindrical disk covered with the WRF cultures  that are  spaced
to provide each of the 4 compartments with a pair of  disks.   The pink  water is
fed into the RBC until it is about 1/2 full and then  the shaft is rotated to
allow the 8 disks to alternately be "wetted" with pink water  and then  be
exposed to the oxygen enriched air.  C-E, using a batch test  method, has
successfully reduced the TNT pink water to 2 ppm in 24 hours  and the RDX pink
water to <10 ppm in 48 hours.  By using a continuous  test  method, they have
reduced the TNT pink water from a 100 to 10 ppm concentration and the  RDX pink
water from. 50 to 18 ppm concentration in a 24 hour period.
        The bench scale packed column, shown in figure 45  is  a 5 inch  by 12
inch vertical cylinder packed with plastic balls, approxijnately 3/8  inch in
diameter, covered with the WRF culture. The pink water is  fed into the bottom
and the effluent is expelled out the top.  The method was  tested by  processing
the pink water at a low fed rate through the system and by recycling the feed
material at a higher rate.  C-E has reduced the concentration of TNT from 100
to 20 ppm in 1 1/2 hours and to 3 ppm in 4 1/2 hours  using the packed  column
method.  It has been determined that no veratryl alcohol is needed and a
glucose concentration requirements is 1 g/1 or less,  and may  be reduced
further.
        Further experimentation is needed to:   (1) Confirm activity  of the WRF
over a extended continuous operation with the pink water in packed columns,
(2) Confirm activity of WRF with an outside carbon source  and minerals,  (3)
Confirm RDX removal in continuous operation.  C-E recommends  that a  scale
model be built and test be conducted in an actual plant operation.

        Application:  Pink Water

        Capacity:  10 gal/hr. for a l/10th scale model.

        Operating Costs:  Minimal

A.  There are two conceptual technologies /descriptions that have been reviewec
which may be applicable to the demilitarization/disposal program for the
SMCA-managed items.  These technologies/ciescriptions were divided into the two
categories listed below:
                                                                 Page

B.  CONCEPTUAL TECHNOLOGIES

    1.  Wgghpyt - Cryogenic FlViifl PTY
        General Atomics Technology  (GA) , San Diego, CA and El Dorado
Engineering  (EDE) , Salt Lake City, UT jointly proposed to study the cryogenic
fluid-dry washout process to remove propellant from large rocket motors.
Liquid nitrogen is used as the washout medium.  It is postulated that with
cryo-washout there is no waste water stream that requires extensive treatment . '
        The cryogenic fluid would be directed against the surface of the
propellant in much the same manner used in high pressure water washout
cryogenic jet would embrittle the propellant and reduce its sensitivity to
ignition or initiation.  The embrittled propellant should be susceptible to
brittle fracture with relatively small applied forces.  For the most brittle
propellant materials, the force of the cryogenic jet itself will likely be
sufficient to erode the material.
        A nozzle system will be designed to deliver a high pressure cryogenic
gas jet to the material surface.  This approach would probably be the most
efficient use of the cryogenic fluid, with little loss of liquid.  If gas
phase erosion is not sufficient, two-phase of liquid phase erosion may prove
necessary,  with some loss of excess liquid and efficiency.

        Application:  LFM, may have applications for other entergetic
materiels.  This is another way to remove the entergetic materiel from the
munition case.

        Capacity:  Undetermined at this time.

        Operating Costs:  Will most likely be comparable to other washout
methods.

        Process Control:  Undetermined at this time.

        Reclamation Quality:  Expect the entergetic materiel to be in granular
form.

        Waste Streams Generated:  Undetermined at this time.

    2.  Controlled Incineration-Static Fi,y^^f of LRM  (Confined)
        The Lockheed Research Laboratory was tasked, by the Advanced Program
Office of the Missile Systems Division of Lockheed Missiles and Space Company,
to study alternate approaches to the ultimate disposal of solid rocket
propellants.  One method studied was the burning of the whole motor.  The
conceptual operation would consist of removing the nozzle from the motor case
and burning the motor at ambient pressure.  The effluent gases would be
conducted through a large/ 12 foot diameter/ pipe sloping downward into a
water tank 40 ft deep.  The gases would then bubble up through the water tank
through a series of perforated steel plates into a large, 60 ft high x 170 ft
in diameter/ domed containment chamber.  The off gases from this containment
chamber would be conducted through a 6-7 ft diameter duct to the exhaust gas
disposal equipment, which is not yet defined.  Figure 46 shows a line drawing
of a water filtration containment concept.

        Application:  Both 1.1 and 1.3 LRM propellant disposal.

        Capacity:  Proposed up to three 50,000 pound motors per /day.

        Operating Costs:  To be determined.

        Process Control:  The off gases will nave to be monitored to assure
the operation will conform to given parameters.

        Reclamation Quality:  The motor case would have to be flashed prior to
disposal by either landfill or sale.  The reuse of the case is doubtful.

        Waste Streams Generated:  The coolant water will have to be monitored
and may need processing.

        Environmental Constraints:  Unknown at this time.

        Data Gaps:  This process is still in the conceptual stage.

        Construction Cost:  A full size facility is estimated to cost
$100,000,000.  After the concept has been proven and the design finalized,  it
is estimated a full size facility could be constructed in 2.5 to 3  years.

                             CHAPTER 6 - DATA BASE
Introduction
    a.  Traditionally, the demilitarization stockpile has been reported in the
Joint Ordnance Commanders Group  (JOCG) Demilitarization/Disposal Handbook-
Volume I, by quantity  (each) and storage weight  (short tons).  The trend for
the last nine years is reflected in figure 47.  While this is a reasonable way
for the logistician to express the stockpile/ this does not provide any
knowledge on the types and quantities of material and filler involved.  This
information is iiqperative in the decision making process when determining the
salvage or reclamation value of the munitions and the corresponding process in
question.  To remedy this an effort was started in 1984 to identify the
components of the munitions and types of material and filler in the derrdl
account.  This involved obtaining the drawings, military specifications,
technical manuals  (TMs), and any other source that would yield a description
of the munition to include material, filler, packaging types, and weight.  In
1986, the JOCG published the results of this effort as the
Demilitarization/Disposal Handbook Volume-Ill/ Reclamation Materials anc
Weights.  This handbook lists over 2,300 separate National Stock Numbers
(NSNs).
                                                                               i
    b.  The 1986 SMCA Blue Ribbon Panel on Ammunition Demilitarization
classified the demilitarization inventory into 80 families.  These families
have been categorized into 14 consolidated families for more ease of use  (see
table 1). Figure 48 is a comparison of the inventory for the years of 1986 and
1989 by consolidated families.  The reduction in the smokes and dyes
consolidated family is attributed to the contracting out for the
neutralization of bulk FS smoke and the operation of the APE 1400 WP-PAC plant
at Crane Army Ammunition Activity  (CAAA).  The 31 December 1989 demil
inventory can be expressed by family in terms of either the number of items,
their total weight (see table 2), or in terms of the inert material  (light
steel, heavy steel, wood, fiber, etc.), and filler composition  (propellent,
TNT, HC smoke, etc.)  as depicted in figure 49.  This data was obtained using
the component and weight information contained in volume III and the inventory
quantity obtained from volume I.  It should be noted that the weight does not
fully agree with the total reported weight in volume I due to the fact that
some munitions do not have a family identified in the data base.

    c.  As discussed before, there are only 2,300 discrete NSNs listed in
volume III and 4,476 discrete NSNs listed in volume I; therefore, when the
summation is preformed to obtain the material and filler weights, that figure
is going to be low.  In order to obtain a representative value for the total
filler and material weight in a family, the calculated weight is multiplied by
the ratio of total storage weight for the family as reported in volume I and
total calculated weight for the family.  This yields a value that takes into
account the missing material and weight data in volume III.  This method is
employed in figure 49 and all successive figures.

    d.  The capability now exists, as demonstrated above, to break down the
demil inventory into its consolidated families.  These consolidated families
can then be expressed in terms of their materials and fillers.  The HE loaded
projectile family is expressed in terms of its major fillers  (figure 50)  and
its materials  (figure 51).

    e.  One member of the HE loaded projectile family is the  90rrcn cartridge.
figure 52 is the M71A1 or M71, and shows the information that can be obtained
from volume III.  As car; be seen frcm figure 53, single base  propellant
comprises the majority of reactive fillers with comp B, triple base
propellant, and TNT also contributing.  Heavy steel is a major contributor
 (approximately 6,821 short tons) to the material in the inventory of 90mm
projectiles  (as shown in figure 54).  This heavy steel, when  sold as scrap,
has a resale value of about $0.01 per pound.  This would mean a return of
about $136,000 on the heavy steel alone if these rounds were  demilitarized.

           Use of Waste Energetic Materials as a Fuel
                  Supplement in Utility Boilers


    Waste energetic material produced during the manufacture of
explosives has been considered a by-product waste which must be
disposed of.   Methods such as open burning or open detonation
pose potential environmental risks while disposal in specially
designed hazardous waste incinerators is costly.  No current
method capitalizes on these materials inherent energy capacity.
Efforts to utilize these wastes as supplements to fuel oil are
under way.  Laboratory and bench scale operations verify the
principle while economic analysis shows a positive advantage
using this approach.  Pilot scale testing is in progress to
develop fuel mixing/feeding procedures and to determine fuel
mixture energy parameters.

(SLIDE 1)  This schematic shows the equipment necessary to co-fire
explosives in fuel oil.  The explosives are first blended with a
solvent to bring them into a solution which can be mixed with the
fuels.  Our pilot testing will use toluene as it is an
inexpensive,  readily available solvent capable of dissolving both
TNT and RDX.   For other explosives and propellants, a different
solvent may be necessary.  The solvated explosive is then blended
with the fuel oil, in the current testing the oil is #2 fuel oil.
This mixture is continuously recycled and a portion is fed to an
industrial boiler.  Heat from combustion produces steam which can
be used to operate machinery, heat, or produce electricity.
Current tests are concentrating on the emissions from the process
and will identify necessary control measures.

(SLIDE 2)  The costs of the operation are given in this figure
where different amounts of solvent are used to produce the
supplemented fuel.  The cost of open detonation is included to
give an idea of the potential cost savings achievable.  The cost
of co-firing is sensitive to the cost of fuel oil.  As the cost
of fuel oil increases, the relative cost of supplemented fuels
decreases.  It is likely that the cost of fuel oil will increase
in the future, making co-firing even more attractive.  In
addition to cost advantages, the combustion of the explosives is
much better controled.  The explosives-solvent-fuel oil mixture
provides a homgeneous fuel to the combustor, minimizing hot spots
or areas of incomplete combustion due to feed integrity.

Safety and environmentally sound disposal as well as energy
recovery are the goals of this project.  It appears that we can
accomplish environmentally acceptable disposal and energy
conservation together.

    Waste energetic  material  produced during  the  manufacture of
explosives has been  considered a by-product waste  which  must be
disposed  of.   Methods  such  as open  burning or open  detonation
pose potential  environmental  risks  while disposal  in  specially
designed  hazardous  waste  incinerators  is  costly.   No  current
method capitalizes on these materials  inherent  energy  capacity.
Efforts to  utilize these wastes  as  supplements  to  fuel  oil are
under  way.   Laboratory  and  bench  scale  operations verify the
principle  while   economic  analysis  shows  a positive  advantage
using this approach.   Pilot  scale testing is underway  to develop
fuel mixing/feeding   procedures   and  to  determine   fuel  mixture
energy parameters.


Introduction
    Production  and stockpiling  of  explosives  by  the  U.S.  Army

results   in   the  generation   of  waste   energetic   materials.

Typically, these materials  contain nitrated  aromatic  compounds

which  are   classified  as  hazardous  due   to  their   inherent

reactivity.   Environmentally safe  methods  of disposal of  these

materials  as  hazardous  wastes  are  practiced,  however;   this


                                  -2-

-------
disposal does not  take advantage of the energy  content of these



materials.    A  program  initiated  by  the  U.S.  Army   Toxic  and



Hazardous  Materials  Agency  (USATHAMA)  in  conjunction  with  Oak



Ridge  National  Laboratory  (ORNL)  and  Roy  F.  Weston,  Inc.  is



investigating the use of these waste materials as a supplement to



fuel oil for  use in  standard  industrial-type boilers.   Using the



energy  stored  in   this waste   reduces  fuel  consumption  while



eliminating what would  otherwise be  a  potential  hazardous waste.



Each  of  these  benefits  is  a  national  priority  item.   The



development of this technology is therefore highly desirable.







Nature of the Waste







    To effectively treat the subject, a description of the nature



of  the  wastes as well  as  their origin is  in  order.   Energetics



are separated into three separate classes:







     (1)  Propellants







     (2)  Explosives







     (3)  Pyrotechnics







Propellants   and  Pyrotechnics   will  not  be  included  in  this



treatment.  This does  not  preclude  their  use as  fuel supplements



but  they do  not currently  carry the priority for  disposal that




                                   -3-

-------
the explosive  wastes  do and  therefore  do not incur  much  of the



high cost of explosive disposal.



    The   two   primary   explosive   wastes   of   concern   are



trinitrotoluene  (TNT)   and  cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine  (RDX).



These  two  are  the  most prevalent explosives in  use  today and



therefore  constitute  the  greatest  inventory  of  waste.   The



structures of  these compounds  along  with the pertinent  data to



this study are  given  in Figures 1 and  2.   Of  particular note is



the  substantial  amount  of  available  nitrogen.   This  will  be



discussed in terms of expected combustion products later.  Often,



TNT  and  RDX  are  combined   (normally  with  a small  amount  of



paraffin) to form  a  composite  explosive.   The  most  common  of



these is. Composition B  or  simply,  Comp B, which is a 40%  TNT to



60% RDX mixture.



    As mentioned previously,  TNT and  RDX  constitute  a reactivity



hazard.   Handling,  storage   and  use  require special  care  and



attention to insure the  safety  of  personnel.   In  addition  to its



reactivity,  TNT also constitutes a toxicity hazard.  The American



Conference  of   Governmental  Industrial Hygienists recommends  a



Time Weighted  Average (TWA)  maximum  concentration of  0.5 mg/m



and indicates  a dermal  hazard  with  TNT.    Risk  associated  with



this toxicity  is  generally  small  due to  TNT being a  solid under



standard  conditions as  well  as   its  very  small  solubility  in



water.   Even so,  this  toxicity cannot be ignored  in  any program



utilizing TNT.  Necessary  precautions include  safe  explosives



handling  techniques,   precaution   against  skin  contact,   and



insurance  against   airborne  contamination.   Safe   explosives

handling including  prevention against  skin contact  is  commonly



practiced and will  not be discussed  further.   Insurance against



airborne release  of  TNT  is  a  function  of the  completeness  of



combustion  which will be described later.



    The heating value of  RDX is  approximately 9 kJ/g while for



TNT it is approximately 15  kJ/g.   Each  of  these  compounds burns



easily and  completely.   The  largest  drawback to utilization  as



fuel supplements outside of their reactivity is the production of



NOx.  As nitrated compounds, burning of these explosives  produces



some quantity of NOx  above  that which would be produced  from the



combustion  of standard  fuels.   This NOx  production was  found  to



be  approximately   0.5376  gm/10    J   of  fuel.     Current  test



objectives   include  the characterization  of these  emissions  and



determination of means to curtail or treat the production of NOx.



    Along with the preceding discussion on the chemical nature of



the waste,  a brief description of the source of the waste and its



physical  state  is   in  order.   Two  sources  contribute  to  the



inventory of waste  explosives.  The  first of these  is that which



occurs  during  normal  production.   The  second  source  is  from



inventory which becomes either  obsolete  due  to its  packaging  or



unserviceable due to  storage, damage, etc.



    As  in  the  production of  most items,  especially in  batch-



produced  chemicals,  off  specification  materials  are  sometimes



produced.   Due  to   the military  nature  of  explosives,  strict



production  specifications are enforced.   This means that batches



of  explosives  sometimes fail to  meet specifications  which leads



to  their classification as  wastes.   Lackey  provides an  estimate




                                   -7-

-------
of  current  energetic  waste  generation  of   1.13  kg/yr.   This



estimate grows  to 4.60x10   kg/yr during  full  scale  production.



It  should   be  noted   that  no  TNT   is   currently  produced.



Additionally,  loading of  munitions with  explosives   results  in



significant   waste   generation   through  equipment   wash  down



procedures.



    The second  source of waste  explosives  is  through stockpiles



becoming unserviceable.   If  a  weapon is no longer  a  part of the



Army  inventory,  the  munitions   it  uses  may   be   classified  as



unserviceable or  obsolete.   Also, quality  control  of stockpiled



munitions may determine  that a  particular munition is  unable  to



meet requirements for military service  and it  will be classified



as  unserviceable.   This  may  be  due  to  the   breakdown   of  the



explosive itself, degradation  of other  chemical portions of the



munition such  as  a propellant  charge,  or to  a  deterioration  of



the munition body (for example a  corrosion of the casing).  Table



1 provides an estimate  of the  amount of unserviceable explosives



in the current inventory.



    Finally,  current  disposal  practices will  be discussed.   Two



methods are generally used, not  including continued storage which



by  its  nature  is expensive  and  non-productive.   The first  is



destruction  through   open detonation  of  the  explosives.   This



practice  is  simple,   relatively  safe   and  expedient.    It  has



recently  come  under   environmental scrutiny  and  testing  is



currently underway to determine  this disposal  methods  impact  on



the  environment.   Open  detonation  does not  capitalize   on  the



heating value of the explosives.

-------
    The second current method of disposal is through incineration

of the waste explosives.  Typically,  the  explosive is  mixed into

a water-explosive slurry  and  fed to a rotary kiln.  A fuel such

as propane or  fuel  oil  is used  to  maintain  the  kiln temperature

at approximately  1200   C.  This  process  requires  approximately

1.67  kg of fuel oil per kg of explosive destroyed.  Although this

process can be made environmentally acceptable,  it  is expensive

in terms of capital cost and energy consumption.

    Neither of  the above  disposal  practices takes  advantage of

the energy contained  in  the explosives.   With limited government

resources  a  constant   concern,  an   alternative,   less  costly

approach is desirable.   In the  case of mobilization for national

defense, limited  fuel reserves makes  utilization of this energy

source even more important.

Safety







    Safety is of paramount importance to using explosives as fuel



supplements.   The  very  nature  of  explosives  requires  special



handling  during  their intended  use  and  even  stricter controls



during combustion in an  industrial boiler.   Three separate areas



of concern will be addressed.  First, the rheology of explosives-



fuel oil mixt res will be discussed.  Second, physical properties



concerning compatibility of the explosives with fuel oils will be



described.  Finally, the likelihood of detonations  occurring  is



addressed.  These three  safety related  areas are  fully described



by Lackey.



    Due  to  the   physical  state  of  the  waste  explosives  (ie-



irregularly sized solid pieces) and the relatively low solubility



of TNT and  RDX  in fuel oils, a solvent is used to  bring the TNT



and RDX  into  solution.   At some concentrations, the  RDX and TNT



form  slurries,  especially upon  removal  of  the  solvent.   Also,



mixtures  of Toluene,  TNT and  fuel  oil  were  shown to  produce



multiphase  liquid  mixtures which  are  undesirable for  feed  to a



boiler.  An  optimum composition  for the  supplemented  fuel  is  to



be  determined and  has  an  upper  bound  dictated by  detonation



potential which will be described  later.



    Viscosity data  for  TNT  supplemented  fuel  oils  is  given  in



Table  2.  As  shown,  the  viscosity of a #2 fuel oil  supplemented



with TNT does not show a significant increase in viscosity due to



the addition of the explosive.

    Consideration was given to  the  chemical  compatibility of TNT

and RDX  with fuel  oil.    Differential thermal  analysis,  vacuum

thermal  stability  and accelerating  rate  calorimetry  all  showed

that both  TNT and  RDX  do not  undergo chemical reaction  in the

presence of  fuel oil  but acted simply as solids  in solution.   A

test to  determine  if  TNT would plate out in  solution over time

was conducted as well.   Plating was  found  during this  6 month

long test,  however;   the plating  was only  a thin  layer which

presented  no hazard  when  removed  with  warm  acetone.   Plating

prevention is currently  designed to be avoided by frequent feed

system washing with warm acetone.

    Finally,  testing  of  the   detonation   characteristics  of

supplemented  fuel  oil was  conducted.    Both  static  and dynamic

tests  were   performed.    Static  tests  were  conducted  in  a

horizontal 5.04  cm  pipe  in  which the explosive supplemented fuel

was allowed  to  settle for  a  duration of 4  to 8 hours.  Dynamic

tests were  conducted  in a vertical pipe  of  the same diameter in

which  the  mixture  was  agitated and then immediately tested for

                                  -11-

detonation  potential.   It  was  determined  that  single  phase


TNT-Acetone-No.   2   fuel  oil  mixtures  showed  no  propagation of


detonation characteristics at TNT concentrations up to 78 wt  % in


static tests.  Testing of TNT-Toluene mixtures in both static and


dynamic testing showed no propagation  at  up to  65 wt % TNT.  RDX


on the  other hand  did result  in  propagation of  detonation  for


static  testing  at  5.3  wt  %.   This  was  due  to settling  of  RDX


particles forming a trail of  RDX  on  the  bottom  of the pipe.  For


dynamic testing, RDX concentrations up to 15 wt % did not exhibit


propagation  of  detonation.    Supplemented fuels  containing less


than  the  concentration  required   to  support  propagation  of


detonation in the static mode will be used.
Pilot Testing Using a Prototype Combustor




    In 1987 a  pilot scale (300 kw) combustor  was operated using

                                9
fuel oil  supplemented with TNT.    Testing was conducted  at the


Los  Alamos National  Laboratory.   Problems with the  equipment


precluded  completion  of  this   test   program  but  not  before


sufficient data was  acquired  to show that  the  use of explosives


as  fuel  supplements was  possible.    The  problems  encountered


consisted  of  a failure  of the insulation  used  in  the  reducing


section of  the prototype  combustor and a  failure of  the  burner


tip  caused  by RDX  accumulation  and subsequent  burning.   Enough


data was  taken  to warrant  a  continuation of  the pilot  scale


testing with careful attention given to selection of a combustion


                                  -12-

-------
chamber  and the  feed  system  used  to  introduce  the  explosive


supplemented fuel oil.   A diagram of  the  prototype combustor is

shown at Figure 3.


    In   addition   to  showing   the    feasibility   of   utilizing


explosives  supplemented  fuels,  data  was obtained concerning the


emissions from the prototype  combustor.  This  data was collected

                                                      4
and reported by the  Army Environmental Hygiene Agency .   As only


4 data runs were obtained  in  which stack sampling was conducted,


only  generalized  conclusions   could   be   reached.   The  first


conclusion  is that destruction  and removal efficiencies  (DRE) of


99.999 % were  obtained for TNT  combustion.  Carbon monoxide and


particulate emissions  were described  as  controllable.   Finally,


and perhaps most important,  was the  finding  that  increased NOx


concentrations were  found to  be caused by  the addition  of the


explosives  to  the  fuel  oil.   With  the limited  number  of  data


points  obtained  and  the  condition  of  the  combustor  it  is


premature to formalize estimates of  NOx production for design of


control  equipment.    For  the two  data points  obtained  during


supplemented fuel burns,  the  total NOx emission rate was between


0.5033 and  0.5637 gm/10   J..   Methods  to curtail this production


rate  as  well as obtaining definitive  data to  support  design of


abatement systems are key  factors in current test plans.

requirements  for  a complete  supplemental fuel  system utilizing



TNT and Composition B.  Testing is scheduled to begin in December



of  1989.    Three  major  items  required  engineering   design  and



specification  to  obtain a  working pilot  system.   The  first  of



these was a boiler system which would approximate the anticipated



full scale boilers that the  supplemented  fuels  would  be used in.



Second, a system to mix and feed the explosives, solvent and fuel



oil  was   needed   which  could   safely  mix   and  deliver  the



supplemented  fuel.  Finally,  a data acquisition plan  was  needed



to  obtain  the  necessary design  information  for  both  emission



control  design,   operating  parameters   for   the  burner  and



preliminary data needed for regulatory approval.  A block diagram



of the test system is shown in Figure 4.



    The  boiler  is   the  central   piece   of  equipment  in  the



utilization  of  explosives supplemented  fuels.   The majority  of



currently installed Army steam boilers  utilizing fuel  oil  are of



a water  tube design.   Various  burners and  nozzles  are in use.



For  the current   tests,  air  atomization  was   selected  as  the



supplemented  fuel  viscosity  is not above  design ranges  for this



type of  nozzle.   The boiler  selected  is  designed for 47  boiler



horse power and utilizes fuel  at  an input rate equivalent  to 498



kW.  A scale  factor of  ten would  include the majority of process



steam generation boilers in  use today.   Larger systems are used,



however;  more complex burner designs and  fuel  feed systems would



likely require  additional testing  prior to use of  supplemented



fuels  in  these  systems.    This   testing would  likely  include




                                  -15-

surrogate  fuel  mixtures  synthesizing  the viscosity  and heating



value of the supplemental fuel.



    The second required  piece  of  equipment for this test program



is the mixing/feed system.   This  unit  is currently in the design



stage and will include provision for dissolving the explosives in



a  separate solvent  tank  followed by remote  addition  of  this



solution  to a  fixed  quantity of fuel  oil.   The  system  will



mechanically agitate the  fuel  mixture  as well as recirculate the



mixture through the piping  system.  Once a test is completed (by



exhaustion of the supplemented fuel mixture),  the system will be



flushed with acetone  by remote control.   The mixing/feed system



would constitute the primary capital cost for implementation of a



system to utilize waste explosives.  Care in terms of scalability



by utilizing  standard equipment  in  the pilot  scale  design will



assist in the scale up of this unit to a full production system.



    Finally, the data acquisition plan was designed to obtain the



necessary  information  for  implementation  of  this  technology.



This  includes  flow  properties of the  selected  feed  mixtures,



efficiency  of  explosive  destruction   within  the  system,  heat



balances  over  the  system  and  measurement/characterization  of



emissions  from  the system.   18 total  tests will  be conducted.



The sample  matrices  are shown in  Figure  5  and the expected test



sequence is shown in Figure  6.

Conclusion



   The use  of waste  explosives as  supplements  to  fuel  used  in

steam boilers appears to  be  a  viable means of utilizing for  fuel

what would otherwise be a difficult to dispose of waste product.

Previous work has shown the feasibility of using waste explosives

as  fuel   supplements   in  terms   of   safety,   hazardous  waste

elimination  and  cost.   Current  project  plans  are  aimed   at

providing  the  necessary   information   to  make  this  technology

available   for   implementation  at   Army   installations.     By

eliminating a  hazardous waste  through  utilization  of  its energy

potential effective  use  is  made of what  is otherwise  a costly

environmental problem.

Composting is being considered as a treatment process for
cleaning up hazardous waste sites contaminated with the
explosives TNT, RDXjand HMX.  Currently, srtes contaminated
with these explosives are being remediated by incineration
of the soil, a process which costs $272 per ton.  This
equates to about $300 per cubic yard.  Composting has been
demonstrated as capable of reducing the level of explosive
contamination to acceptable levels in a reasonable time
frame.  The target cost for the process is $100 per cubic
yard.  Estimates of soil which will require clean-up
currently are at the 5 million cubic yard level.  This
provides a potential for a $1 billion savings by
implementing composting.

Past studies have concentrated on showing feasibility of
composting.  Current program goals are to optimize the
process.  Half lives on the order of 11 days have been
demonstrated.  Toxicology on finished compost has so far
been favorable.  To implement composting, data is being
collected to maximize through put and provide operating
estimates.  In addition to the use of conventional
composting, specially prepared microorganisms which degrade
TNT are being prepared and will be tested.  Similar
organisms are being sought for the degradation of RDX and
HMX.

The use of biological methods for remediation of hazardous
wastes are being considered for a wide array of toxic and
hazardous materials.  To date, few applications of
biological methods have been implemented for such wastes.
Composting as a technique may find an increasing role in
applying the knowledge of biological reaction in the
laboratory to the full scale remediation of hazardous
wastes.  The Army has taken a leading role in developing
this technology for hazardous waste remediation.

                            ABSTRACT

Composting  of soils contaminated with the explosives  TNT,  RDX,
and  HMX  is  a  technology  which has  been  demonstrated  as  a
potential  replacement for incineration.   Previous studies  have
shown  this  biological method to be effective  in  reducing  the
levels  of  these  contaminants to  acceptable  levels.    Initial
toxicological   data  on  finished  compost   residue   indicates
acceptable  elimination of toxicity.   To present composting as a
competitor  to incineration of explosives contaminated  soil  the
process  must  be  improved  in terms of cost  per  ton  of  soil
processed.  Key factors are facility design and operation, carbon
source amendment,  and kinetic rate of the biological processes.
Current  program  goals  are designed to  obtain  information  on
maximum   soil  loading,   kinetic  rate  of   degradation,   and
configuration  of compost reactor.   Plans to achieve these goals
are discussed.
INTRODUCTION

    Soils contaminated with the explosives trinitrotoluene (TNT),

hexahydro-l,3,5-trinitro-l,3,5-triazine (RDX), and 1,3,5,7-

tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) pose potential

environmental problems at sites around the world.  In the U.S.,

various DOD and DOE facilities have soils contaminated with

these explosives, which require, in some cases, remedial action.

The technology currently used to clean these soils is high

temperature incineration, a process which is expensive in terms

                                    -2-

-------
of both capital and operating costs.  A process which may be used
in place of incineration for these soils is composting.  This
biological treatment method utilizes bacteria and fungi to effect
a transformation of the explosives while producing a highly
decomposed humic residue.  Compared to incineration, composting
may provide a cost effective, environmentally gentle means of
treating explosives contaminated soils.

BACKGROUND
    Osman and Andrews '  initiated the concept of using
composting to destroy explosives in 1975 through research
sponsored by the U.S. Army.  Their task was to develop composting
technology for use in solid phase biological destruction of
munition wastes.  This was not intended as an application to
contaminated soils,  but rather as a means to destroy the
processing wastes associated with explosives manufacturing and
handling.  A significant conclusion by Osman and Andrews was that
"...compost organisms may use the same or similar initial
pathways in attacking the TNT molecule as do the soil organisms
but the organisms in compost carry the degradation process to
completion".  They emphasized that "...TNT in composting does not
yield the undesirable end products found in soil experiments".
This was a significant deviation from prior work on TNT
metabolism which is discussed in the following paragraphs.

Metabolic Pathway Studies
    Increased research activity in the early 1970's for munition
waste treatment at explosives production plants prompted
                                    -3-

-------
significant efforts to better define the metabolism of TNT.



Prior to 1970, research in this area was conducted during or



immediately after both the First and Second World Wars,  with



emphasis on metabolism by mammals, including humans.   A


                                                       4

potentially significant finding by Lemberg and Calaghan  was that



metabolism of TNT in rats was different from that in humans and



rabbits in that metabolism in rats removed the methyl group from



the TNT.  This production of trinitrobenzene points out the



potential for alternate metabolic pathways of TNT transformation.



    Between 1972 and 1985, explosives metabolism was the subject



of numerous laboratory investigations.^ ~  '  A summary of these


                         18
works is given by Kaplan.    In general, two points stand out.



First, the conditions in the referenced studies resulted in the



formation of amines and their derivatives as shown in Figure 1.



Second, RDX and HMX were biotransformed only under anaerobic



conditions.



    While significant evidence exists that amino compound



formation occurs during TNT biotransformation, this outcome may



not be entirely consistent with large scale composting systems.



Osman and Andrews  were clear in their findings on composting



that the compounds in the pathway described in Figure 1 were not



present in the finished product, with the possible exception of



the 2-Amino-4,6 dinitrotoluene and the 2,6-diamino-4-



nitrotoluene.  These isomers were not a part of their


                                                 19
investigations. Experiments by Klausmeier, et.al.   were directed



at determining volatile emissions from TNT composting systems and



toxicity of the finished product.  Volatile nitrobodies were


                                    -4-

indicating, insignificant volatile emissions from the presence of



TNT or its transformation products.  Toxicity studies conducted



on finished compost included seed germination, plant growth,



aquatic toxicity, and mutagenicity.  Toxicity in the plant and



aquatic systems was not detected for any of the compost residue



concentrations studied.  This was also true for aqueous and



alcohol extractions of the composts.  DMSO extracts of the



compost did show potential mutagenicity and the authors



recommended additional toxicity testing to resolve the



question of "... environmental hazards that might exist".



    A possibility for not observing mineralization of TNT in


                                            20
composting systems was introduced by Traxler   who suggested



ring-cleavage of TNT in isolated cultures.  Traxler demonstrated



heterotrophic carbon dioxide fixation using labeled



TNT (ring-UL-14C).  Recent advances in ring fission will be



mentioned later.





Soils Composting



    Environmental regulation directed toward cleanup of



contaminated sites prompted a shift in focus of explosives



biodegradation studies toward soil remediation.  While studies in



the laboratory ended with incomplete degradation of TNT in soil



alone, self sustaining composting of TNT demonstrated a



potentially more complete transformation with good evidence of an



environmentally innocuous final product.



    The first studies on contaminated soil composting were


                             21
conducted by Isbister, et.al.   in 1982.  Laboratory and bench


                                   -6-

-------
scale systems demonstrated potential for TNT transformation



without accumulation of the amino or azoxy derivatives.   These



studies used sandy soils which were artificially contaminated in



the laboratory with weapons grade TNT.  Investigation with



radiolabled TNT was also performed.  In 1986, laboratory and



pilot scale composting was performed using soil from contaminated



lagoons at the Louisianna Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) by Doyle,


      22
et.al.    These soils contained substantial quantities of the



explosives TNT, RDX, HMX and Tetryl.  The pilot scale composts



demonstrated the formation of the amino derivatives with



subsequent disappearance, suggesting either a more complete



degradation or irreversible binding in the compost system.  This



was the first pilot scale application of the technology to actual



contaminated soil, and was the first technology to be issued a



RD&D permit under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.



RDX, HMX and Tetryl degradation was also substantial in these



compost systems.  Radiolabeled samples of these explosives were



determined to undergo substantial mineralization by analysis of



carbon dioxide production.  Aqueous leachates were tested for



mutagenicity and were found to be non-mutagenic.





Full Scale Demonstration



    The use of incineration for remediation of explosives



contaminated soils began in 1988 and efforts to bring composting



to implementation were increased by the U.S. Army.  A



demonstration scale composting test was conducted in 1987 by


                23 24
Williams, et.al.  '    This was the first attempt at the  scale up



of a biotreatment method for remediating explosives contaminated


                                   -7-

-------
soils.  The objective of the study was to evaluate the utility of

aerated static pile composting for remediation of explosives

contaminated soils.  The results of this demonstration were

encouraging.  Data on explosives degradation as well as results

on the formation and subsequent disappearance of the diamino

derivatives are presented in Figure 2.  A follow on study to

determine toxicity of the finished compost product was recently


completed and final results are forthcoming.  Aqueous leachates

from these systems have been shown to exhibit little toxicity or

mutagenicity.

    While the exact TNT biotransformation mechanisms in compost

are as yet not completely defined, there does appear to be a

significant difference between metabolism in soils and that in

composts.  The differences may be from transformation along a

different pathway or simply an extension of the same pathway

resulting in a more complete transformation.



OPTIMIZATION

    The current direction of research is toward optimization of

the composting system, determination of the final fate of the

explosives, and a more complete evaluation of toxicity reduction.

While the field scale demonstration of composting was highly

successful in meeting its objective of explosives destruction, it

was not conducted to obtain specific engineering design criteria

necessary for optimum facility design.

    With feasibility demonstrated at the field scale, an
                                                  •J c
implementation study was performed by Lowe, et.al.   with the

objective of providing cost and facility data for implementation

of a full scale remediation.  Data from the field scale
demonstration at LAAP were initially used to determine the cost
of operating a full scale composting facility.  The cost
estimates based on this design were determined to be excessive
based primarily on system throughput.
    Throughput is determined by both the kinetic rate of
destruction of the explosives and the concentration of soil in
the compost matrix.  The change in cost per ton of soil
remediated with change in kinetic rate is shown in Figure 3 for
an aerated static pile facility.  It is not anticipated that a
static pile system destruction rate can be improved substantially
without addition of either specially prepared amendments and/or
microbial inocculants.  Figure 4 describes the change in cost per
ton of soil remediated at a fixed rate of destruction with change
in  soil concentration for an aerated static pile system.
Throughput is highly sensitive to soil concentration and presents
the best potential for cost improvement in a static pile system.
    In addition to static pile operations, mechanically agitated
composting was evaluated in terms of costs.  While capital
intensive, this form of composting presents the potential for
greater throughput due to the ability to use higher
concentrations of soil, and/orincreased kinetic rate arising from
improved mass transfer and contaminant availability.  An
additional potential benefit of this type of system is the
containment of the waste.

strategy for composting based on the implementation study.  This
study is scheduled to begin in May 1990 and run through April
1991.  The objectives of the test program are to obtain data
necessary to implement composting as a cost effective means of
remediating explosives contaminated soils.   The test program
includes field testing of aerated static pile and mechanically
agitated compost systems.  Extensive toxicology and analytical
chemistry are planned to obtain the data necessary for economic
design of a full scale system and the health risks associated
with the finished compost.
    The field studies will be conducted at the Umatilla Army
Depot Activity (UMDA) in Hermiston, Oregon.  This site was
selected due to the climatic conditions expected, the
availability of contaminated soils, the favorable response of
depot personnel, regulators and the local populace and the status
of the site on the National Priorities List (NPL).  Conduct of
the test in the arid and seasonal climate of Oregon will
establish the ability to maintain the compost systems under
adverse conditions.  The use of an NPL site ensures the
conditions are representative of an actual hazardous waste
cleanup site, and mandated the involvment of the  regulatory
community in the developmental process.

Test: Conditions
    The optimization field study is designed to obtain kinetic
rate and soil concentration data for full scale design.  As
mentioned previously, the soil percentage of the  mixture to be
composted is the most sensitive variable in the aerated static

aerated static piles will be established for determination of

maximum soil concentration.  A seventh pile will be established

to investigate the use of a bacteriological inoculant for

increased degradation rate.  Each pile will be operated for 90

days.   The soil concentration of each pile is shown in Table I.

application of this advanced composting technology to explosives

contaminated soils.  Six tests will be conducted in the

mechanically agitated composter.  Three tests are designed to

investigate the effect of different carbon substrates as

amendments to the compost.  The best amendment mixture

determined from these tests will be used in 3 additional tests to

unit is to be contaminated with explosives.   A conceptual layout

for the field test site is shown in Figure 5.  Contaminated soil

from the south lagoon will be used for the tests.

Supporting Studies

   A Toxicity and chemical characterization of the composting

material is planned for the Optimization Field Study.  Results

from the recently completed toxicological analysis of the

residues from the field demonstration at LAAP support ongoing

testing and these data are expected in final form by May 1990.

Toxicity testing is being conducted by researchers at the Oak

Ridge National Laboratory.

    The addition of a microbial inoculant to a compost

configuration for increasing the rate of degradation was

mentioned earlier.  Another, perhaps, more important aspect of

such an inoculant, is the potential for demonstration of
                                   -15-

mineralization of the TNT.  While mineralization may not be a
necessary condition for safely remediating the soil, it may allow
                                                 20
better process control and optimization.  Traxler   suggested
ring cleavage during studies using bacteria grown on TNT as a
                                                              26
sole source of carbon.  Recent developments by Naumova, et.al.
have demonstrated ring fission of the TNT molecule leading to
mineralization.
                     27 28
    Unkefer, et. al.   '   presented conclusive evidence of TNT-
degrading microorganisms capable of utilizing TNT  as a sole
source of carbon.  This work was performed using radiolabled
  14
(C  )  TNT.  Of particular significance is their observations that
bacteria collected from different sources show variability in
their ability to degrade TNT.  A microbial culture prepared at
Los Alamos National Laboratory will be used in the Optimization
Field Study.  Efforts are ongoing to collect laboratory data to
determine the optimum configuration for testing of this
inoculant.

CONCLUSIONS
    Composting has been demonstrated as a promising means for
treating explosive contaminated soils.  There is a significant
difference in the final fate of the explosive TNT when
metabolised in soils versus composting.  While soil degradation
results in formation of amines and their derivatives, these
compounds are not found in the final compost product.
    Full scale application of composting requires additional
design information to determine an optimum implementation
strategy.  An optimization Field Study will begin in 1990 to
                                   -17-

obtain the necessary information to implement the technology.



This testing will include static pile composting, mechanically



agitated composting, use of bacterial inoculants and extensive



toxicological and chemical characterization.  Recent advances in



bacterial cultures for degradation of TNT may result in systems



capable of degrading the explosives more efficiently and/or



extensively leading to reduced cost.

 RISK CHARACTERIZATION
 327 per 1,000,000 exposed people wffl die
 from ifetime exposure to Chemical A.

 Chemical A is carcinogenic in rats and mice.
 Appflcation of low-dose extrapolation
 models and human exposure estimates
 suggests that the range of risks in humans
 is 100-1,000 deaths per  1,000,000 persons
 exposed.

 Chemical A is carcinogenic in rats and mice
 and it is prudent public health policy to
 assume it is aiso carcinogenic in humans.

        Principles of Risk Assessment:  A Nontechnical Review
                        I.  INTRODUCTION
    This report provides general background  information for
understanding the types of scientific data and  methods  currently
used to assess the human health risks of  environmental  chemicals.
Human health risk is the likelihood  (or probability)  that a given
chemical exposure or series of exposures  may damage  the health of
exposed individuals.  Chemical risk  assessment  involves the anal-
ysis of exposures that have taken place in the  past,  the adverse
health effects of which may or may not have  already  occurred.   It
also involves prediction of the likely consequences  of  exposures
that have not yet occurred.  This document is by -no  means a com-
plete survey of the complex subject  of risk  assessment, but it is
sufficiently comprehensive to assist conference participants in
dealing with the specific sets of data relevant to the  case
study.

    The report begins with a discussion of the  four  major compon-
ents of risk assessment and their interrelationships.   This sec-
tion is followed by extensive discussion  of  these four  major com-
ponents.  Generally, each section focuses on the methods and
tests used to gather data, the principles used  for data interpre-
tation, and the uncertainties in both the data  and inferences
drawn from them.  Throughout these discussions, key  concepts
(e.g., exposure, dose, thresholds, and extrapolation) are defined
and extended descriptions provided.

    Many of the principles discussed in this report  are widely
accepted in the scientific community.  Others (e.g.,  thresholds
for carcinogens, the utility of negative  epidemiology data) are
controversial.  In such cases we have attempted to describe the
various points of view and the reasons for them and  have also
identified the viewpoint that seems  to have  been broadly adopted
by public health and regulatory officials.

    Finally, the concepts and principles  we  describe here, al-
though broadly applicable, may not apply  in  specific cases.  In
•one instances, the data available on a specific chemical may
reveal aspects of its behavior in biological systems that suggest
a general principle (e.g., that data obtained in rodent studies
are generally applicable to humans)  may not  hold.  In such in-
stances, the usual approach is to aodify  the risk assessment
process to conform to the scientific finding.

                  XI.  RISK AMD RISK ASSESSMENT
BASIC CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

    Risk is the probability of injury, disease, or death under
specific circumstances.  It may be expressed in quantitative
terms, taking values from sero (certainty that harm will not
occur) to one (certainty that it will).  In many cases risk can
only be described qualitatively, as •high," "low," "trivial."

    All human activities carry come degree of risk.  Many risks
are known with a relatively high degree of accuracy, because we
have collected data on their historical occurrence.  Table 1
lists the risks of some common activities.

    The risks associated with many other activities, including
the exposure to various chemical substances, can not be readily
assessed and quantified.  Although there are considerable histor-
ical data on the risks of some types of chemical exposures (e.g./
the annual risk of death from intentional overdoses or accidental
exposures to drugs, pesticides, and industrial chemicals), such
data are generally restricted to those situations in which a
single, very high exposure resulted in an immediately observable
form of injury, thus leaving little doubt about causation.
Assessment of the risks of levels of chemical exposure that do

                            -2-

-------
not cause immediately observable forms of injury or disease  (or
only minor forms such as transient eye or skin irritation) is  far
more complex, irrespective of whether the exposure may have  been
brief, extended but intermittent, or extended and continuous.  It
is the latter type of risk assessment activity that is reviewed
in this report (although some review of acute poisoning is also
included).

    As recently defined by the National Academy of Sciences,  risk
assessment is the scientific activity of evaluating the toxic
properties of a chemical and the conditions of human exposure  to
it in order both to ascertain the likelihood that exposed humans
will be adversely affected, and to characterize the nature of  the
effects they may experience.1

    The Academy distinguishes risk assessment from risk manage-
ment; the latter activity concerns decisions about whether an
assessed risk is sufficiently high to present a public health
concern and about the appropriate means for control of a risk
judged to be significant.

     The term "safe," in its common usage, means 'without risk."
In technical terms,, however, this common usage is misleading
because science can not ascertain the conditions under which a
given chemical exposure is likely to be absolutely without a risk
of any type.  The latter condition—sero risk—is simply immea-
surable.  Science can, however, describe the conditions under
which risks are so I6w that they would generally be considered to
be of no practical consequence to persons in a population.  As a
technical matter, the safety of chemical substances—whether in
food, drinking water, air, or the workplace—has always been
defined as a condition of exposure under which there is a "prac-
tical certainty* that no harm will result in exposed individuals.
(As described later-, these conditions usually incorporate large
safety factors, so that even more intense exposures than those
defined as safe may also carry extremely low risks).  We note
that most "safe" exposure levels established in the way we have
described are probably risk-free, but science simply has no tools
to prove the existence of what is essentially a negative condi-
tion.

    Another preliminary concept concerns classification of chemi-
cal substances as either 'safe* or unsafe* (or as "toxic" and
•nontoxic").  This type of classification, while common (even
among scientists who should know better), is highly problematic

and misleading.  All substances, even those which we  consume  inj
high amounts every day, can be made to produce  a toxic  response!
under some conditions of exposure.  In this sense,  all  substance^
are toxic.  The important question is not simply that of toxici-
ty/ but rather that of risk—i.e./ what  is the  probability that
the toxic properties of a chemical will  be realized under actual
or anticipated conditions of human exposure?  To answer the lat-
ter question requires far more extensive data and evaluation  than
the characterization of toxicity.2
THE COMPONENTS OF RISK ASSESSMENT

     There are four components to every  (complete)  risk  assess-
ment:
    A.   Hazard Identification—Involves gathering  and  evaluating
         data on the types of health  injury or disease  that  may
         be produced by a chemical and on the conditions  of  expo-
         sure under which injury or disease is produced.   It may
         also involve characterization of the behavior  of a  chem-
         ical within the body and the interactions  it undergoes
         with organs, cells, or even  parts of cells.  Data of the
         latter types may be of value in answering  the  ultimate
         question of, whether the forms of toxicity  known  to  be
         produced by a substance in one population  group  or  in
         experimental settings are also likely to be produced
         humans.  Hazard identification is not risk assessment;
         we are simply determining whether it is scientifically
         correct to infer that toxic  effects observed in  one
         setting will occur in other  settings (e.g., are  sub-
         stances found to be carcinogenic or teratogenic  in  ex-
         perimental animals likelv to have the same result in
         humans?).

    B.   Dose-Response Evaluation--Involves describing  the quan-
         titative relationship between the amount of exposure to
         a substance and the extent of toxic injury or  disease.
         Data derive from animal studies or, less frequently,
         from studies in exposed human populations. There may b-
         many different dose-response relationships for a sub-
         stance if it produces different toxic effects  under
2Soae  scientists will claim  that carcinogens display  their  toxic
  properties under  all conditions of exposure/  and  that  there  is
  ao  "safe" level of  exposure to such  agents.   This  special  prob-
  lem receives extensive  treatment  in  later  sections.
                            -4-

-------
         different conditions of- exposure.  The risks  of  a  sub-
         stance can not be ascertained vith any degree of confi-
         dence unless dose-response relations are quantified,
         even if the substance is known to be "toxic."

    C.   Human Exposure Evaluation—-Involves describing the
         nature and fixe of the population exposed  to  a substance
         and the magnitude and duration of their exposure.   The
         •valuation could concern past or current exposures,  or
         •xposures anticipated in the future.

    0.   Risk Characterization—generally involves  the integra-
         tion of the data and analysis of the first three compo-
         nents to determine the likelihood that humans will
         experience any of the various forms of toxicity associ-
         ated with a substance.  (In cases where.exposure data
         are not available, hypothetical risk can be character-
         ized by the integration of hazard identification and
         does-response evaluation data alone.)

    The next four sections elaborate on each of these  components
of risk assessment.  However, the concept of "dose," which  under-
lies all the discussions to follow of both experimental animals
and human populations, is reviewed first.
DOSE

    Human exposures to substances in the environment may occur
because of their presence in air, water, or food.  Other circum-
stances may provide the opportunity for exposure, such as direct
contact with a sample of the substance or contact with contami-
nated soil.  Experiments for studying the toxicity of a substance
usually involve intentional administration to subjects through
the diet, air to be inhaled, or direct application to skin.
Experimental studies may include other routes of administration:
injection under the skin (subcutaneous), into the blood (usually
intravenous), or into body cavities (intraperitoneal).

    In both human and animal exposures, two types of measurement
must be distinguished:

         1.   Measurement of the amount of the substance in the
              medium (air, diet, etc.) in which it is present or
              administered.

         2.   Measurement of the amount received by the subject,
              whether human or animal.
                                -5-

-------
It is critically important to distinguish these  two  types  of
measures.  The second measure, which is usually  expressed  as  a
dose, ia the critical factor in assessing risk.  The first mea-
sure, along with other information, usually  is essential  if the
dose is to be established.  It may be substituted  or supple-
mented, however, in cases where environmental modeling  or  bicmon-
itoring data are available.

    The difference between these two measures is best described
by example.  Suppose a substance is present  in drinking watar to
be consumed by an individual.  To determine  the  individual's  dose
of this substance, it is first  necessary to know  the amount
present in a given volume of water.  For many environmental sub-
stances, the amounts present fall in the milligram (mg, ore-
thousandth of a gram » 1/28571 ounce) or microgram (,ug, one-
millionth of A gram « 1/28,571,429 ounce) range.   The analyst
will usually report the number of mg or ug of the  substance
present in one liter of water, i.e., mg/1 or pg/1.   These  two
units are sometimes expressed as parts per Billion (ppm) or parts
per billion (ppb), respectively.3

    Given the concentration of a substance in water  (say in ppm),
it is possible to estimate the amount an individual  will consume
by knowing the amount of water he drinks.  Time  is another im-
portant factor in determining risk, so the amount  of water con-
sumed per unit time is of interest.  Zn most public  health evalu-
ations, it is assumed that an individual consumes  2  liters of
water each day through all uses.  Thus, if a substance  is  present
at 10 ppm in water, the average daily individual intake of the
substance is obtained as follows:

             10 ag/liter x 2 liter/day - 20 mg/day

For toxicity comparisons among different species,  it is nacassary
to take into account size differences, usually by  dividing daily
intake by the weight of the individual.  Thus, for a man of aver-
age weight (usually assumed to be 70 kilograms (kg)  or  154
pounds), the daily dose of our hypothetical  substance is:

               20 mg/day r 70 kg - 0.29 mg/kg/day
 3A  liter of water weighs  1,000 g.  One mg  is  thus one-millionth
  the  weight of  a  liter of water; and  one ug  is  one-billionth  the
  weight of a  liter.
                              -6-

-------
For a person of lower weight  (e.g., a  female or  child),  the daily
dose at the same intake rate  would be  larger.  For  example, a 50"
kg woman ingesting the hypothetical substance would receive a
dose of:

               20 ng/day r 50 kg « 0.40 mg/kg/day

& child of 10 kg could receive a dose  of 2.0 mg/kg/day,  although
it must be remembered that such a child would drink less water
each day (say, 1 liter), so that the child's dose would  be:

        10 mg/liter x 1 liter/day » 10 kg • 1.0  mg/kg/day

XIso, laboratory animals, usually rats or mice,  receive  a much
higher dose than humans at the same daily intake rate because of
their much smaller body weights (of course, rats and mice do not
drink 2 liters of water each  day!).

    These sample calculations point out the difference between
measurement of environmental  concentrations and  dose/ at least
for drinking water.  The relationships between measured  environ-
mental concentrations and dose are more complex  for air  and other
media.  Table 2 lists the data necessary to obtain  dose  from data
on the concentration of a substance in water.  Each medium of
exposure must be treated separately and some calculations  are
more complex than in the dose per liter of water example.

     It is important always to consider  that  a  human  may be
simultaneously exposed to the same substance  through  several
media.  That is/ a dose may be received  through more  than one
route of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact).   The
"total dose" received by an individual is the sum of  doses re-
ceived by each individual route  (see the example in Table 2).

     In some cases, it may not be appropriate to add  doses in
this fashion.  In these cases, the toxic effects of a substance
may depend on the route of exposure.  For example, inhaled chrom-
ium is carcinogenic to the lung, but it appears that  ingested
chromium is not.  In most cases, however, as  long as  a substance
acts at an internal body site (i.e., acts svstemieally rather
than only at the point of initial contact), it  is usually con-
sidered appropriate to add doses received fron  several routes.

    Two additional factors concerning dose require special  atten-
tion.  The first is the concept of absorption (or absorbed  dcse) .
The second concerns inferences to be drawn from toxicities  ob-
served under one route of exposure for purposes of predicting the
likelihood of toxicity under other routes.


Absorption

     When a substance is ingested in the diet or in drinking
water, it enters the gastrointestinal tract.  When it is  present
in air (as a gas, aerosol, particle, dust, fume,  etc.)  it enters
the upper airways and lungs.  A substance may also come  into
contact with the skin and other body surfaces as a liquid or
solid.  Some substances may cause toxic injury  at the point of
initial contact (skin, gastrointestinal tract/  upper  airways,
lungs, eyes).  Indeed, at high concentrations,  most substances
will cause at least irritation at these points  of contact.  But
for many substances, toxicity occurs after they pass  through
certain barriers (e.g., the wall of the gastrointestinal  tract or
the skin itself), enter blood or lymph, and gain access  to  the
various organs or systems of the body.  Figure  1 is a diagram of
some of the important routes of absorption.   This figure  also
shows that chemicals may be distributed  in the  body in various
ways and then excreted.  (However* some chemical types—usually
substances with high solubility in fat, such  as DDT—are  stored
for long periods of time, usually in fat.)

     Substances vary widely in extent of absorption.  The  frac-
tion of a dose that passes through the wall of  the  gastrointes-
tinal tract may be very small (e.g., 1 to 10% for some  metals)  to
substantial (close to 100% for certain types of organic mole-
cules).  Absorption rates also depend upon the  medium in which a
chemical is present (e.g., a substance present  in water might be
absorbed differently from the saae substance present  in a  fatty
diet).  These rates also vary among animal species  and  among
individuals within a species.

    Ideally, estimating systemic dose should include  considera-
tion of absorption rates.  Unfortunately, data  on absorption are
limited for most substances, especially in humans.  As  a result,
absorption is not always included in dose estimation  (i.e.,  by
default, it is frequently considered to be complete).   Sometimes
crude adjustments are made based on some general -principles  con-
cerning expected rates based on the molecular characteristics of
a substance.


Interspeeies Differences in Exposure Route

     As described later, a critical feature of  risk characteriza-
tion is a comparison of doses that are toxic in experimental
animals and the doses received by exposed humans.   Zf humans are
exposed by the same route as the experimental animals,  it  is
frequently assumed (in the absence of data) that the  extent  of
absorption in animals and humans is approximately the same;  under
such an assumption, it is unnecessary to estimate the absorbed
dose by taking absorption rate into account.  However,  humans  are
often exposed by a different route than that used to  obtain  tox-
icity data in experimental animals.  Zf the observed  toxic effect
is a systemic one, it may be appropriate to infer the possibility
of human toxicity even under the different exposure route.   Be-
fore doing so, however, it is critical to consider  the  relative
degrees of absorption by different exposure routes.   For example,
if a substance is administered orally to a test animal  but human
exposure is usually by inhalation, knowledge of the percentage
absorbed orally by the animal and by inhalation in  humans  is
necessary to properly compare human and animal  doses.   These
calculations and underlying assumptions are too complex for  dis-
cussion here, but they should be kept in Bind when  risks are
being described.

    Zn the following discussion of the components of  risk  assess-
ment, we shall use the term dose only as described.  Many  risk
assessors use the terms exposure and dose synonomously.  In  this
document, however, the term exposure describes  contact  with  a
                               -11-

-------
substance (e.g., we say that animals are exposed  to  air  contain-
ing 10 mg/m3, of a compound), as well as the size of  the  dose,
the duration of exposure, and tne nature and size of  the  exposed
population.  In our usage, exposure is a broader  term than  dose.
Although our usages of those terms are technically correct,  it
should be recognized that some assessors use the  term exposure  to
mean dose (although the reverse is not true).

                            III.  HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
         INTRODUCTION

             Information on the toxic properties of chemical  substances is
         obtained from animal studies, controlled epidemiological  investi-
         gations of exposed human populations, and clinical studies  or
         case reports of exposed humans.  Other information bearing  on
         toxicity derives from experimental studies in systems other than
         whole animals (e.g., in isolated organs/ cells, subcellular com-
         ponents) and from analysis of the molecular structures of the
         substances of interest.  These last two sources of information
         are generally considered less certain indicators 'of  toxic poten-
         tial, and accordingly, they receive limited treatment here.

              Similarly, clinical studies or case reports, while sometimes
         very important (e.g., the earliest signs that benzene was a human
         leukemogen came from a series of case reports), seldom provide
         the central body of information for risk assessment.  For this
         reason, and because they usually present no unusual  problems of
         interpretation, they are not further reviewed here.  Rather, our
         attention is devoted to the two principal sources of toxicity
         data: animal tests and epidemiology studies.  These  two types  of
         investigation are not only principal sources of data, but also
         present Interpretative difficulties, some rather subtle, some
         highly controversial.
         TOXICITY INFORMATION PROM ANIMAL STUDIES
         The Use of Animal Toxicity Data

             Animal toxicity studies are conducted based primarily on  the
         longstanding assumption that effects in humans can be  inferred
         from effects in animals.  In fact, this assumption has been shown
         to be generally correct.  Thus, all the chemicals that have been
         demonstrated to be carcinogenic in humans, with the possible
         exception of arsenic, are carcinogenic in some although not all,
         experimental animal species.  In addition, the acutely toxic
         doses of many chemicals are similar in humans and a variety of
         experimental animals.  This principle of extrapolation of animal.
         data to humans has been widely accepted in the scientific and
         regulatory communities.  The foundation of our ability to infer
         effects in humans from effects in animals has been attributed to
         the evolutionary relationships and the phylogenetic continuity of
         animal species including man.  Thus, at least among manunals, the
         basic anatomical, physiological, and biochemical parameters are
         similar across species.

-------
However, although the general principle of  inferring  effects  in
humans from effects in experimental animals  is veil founded,
there have been a number of exceptions.  Many of  these  exceptions
relate to differences in the way various species  handle a chemi-
cal to vhich they are exposed and  to differences  in metabolism,
distribution and pharaacoxinetics  of the chemical.  Because of
these potential differences/ it is essential to evaluate all
interspecies differences carefully in  inferring human toxicity
from animal toxicologic study results.

    Zn the particular case of evaluation of  long-term animal
studies conducted primarily to assess  the carcinogenic  potential
of a. compound, certain general observations  increase  the overall
strength of the evidence that the  compound  is carcinogenic.  With
an increase in the number of tissue sites affected by the agent,
there is an increase in the strength of the  evidence.   Similarly/
an increase in the number of animal species, strains, and sexes
showing a carcinogenic response will increase the strength of the
evidence of carcinogenicity.  Other aspects  of importance are the
occurrence of clear-cut dose-response  relationships in  the data
evaluated; the achievement of a high level  of statistical signif-
icance of the increase of tumor incidence in treated  versus con-
trol animals; dose-related shortening  of the time-to-tumor occur-
rence or time-to-death with tumor; and a dose-related increase in
the proportion of tumors that are  malignant.  The following sec-
tions describe the general nature  of animal  toxicity  studies,
including major areas of importance in their design,  conduct,  and
interpretation.  Particular consideration will be given to the
uncertainties involved in the evaluation of  their results.


General Nature of Animal Toxicity  Studies

    Toxicity studies are conducted to  identify the nature of
health damage produced by a substance4 and  the range  of doses
over which damage is produced.  The usual starting point for  such
investigations is a study of the acute (single-dose)  toxicity of
a chemical in experimental animals.  Acute  toxicity studies are
necessary to calculate doses that  will not  be lethal  to animals
used in toxicity studies of longer durations.  Moreover, such
 *We  use  the  term substance  to refer to a pure  chemical,  to  a
  chemical  containing  impurities,  or to a mixture  of  chemicals.
  It  is clearly  important  to know  the identity  and composition of
  a tested  substance before  drawing inferences  about  the  toxicity
  of  other  samples of  the  same substance that might have  a some-
  what different composition.

•tudies will give one estimate of  the  compound's  comparative
toxicity  and may indicate  the target organ  system for chronic
toxicity  <«.g.,  kidney, lung, or heart).   Toxicologists  examine
the  lethal  properties of a substance and  estimate its 105Q
(lethal dose, on average,  for 50%  of an  exposed population).   In
a group of  chemicals,  those exhibiting lover  LD5QS are more
acutely toxic than those with higher values.   A group of well-
known substances and  their LDso values are  listed in Table 3.

     LD5Q studies reveal one of the basic principles of toxi-
cology:  not all individuals exposed to the same dose  of a  sub-
stance will respond in the same way.  Thus, at a dose  of a  sub-
stance that leads to the death of some experimental animals,
other animals dosed in the same way will get sick but  will  re-
cover/ and still others will not appear to be affected at all.
Me shall return to this point after a fuller discussion of  other
forms of toxicity.

     Each of the many different types of toxicology studies has  a
different purpose.  Animals may be exposed repeatedly  or contin-
uously for several weeks or months (subchronic toxicity studies)
or for close to their full lifetimes (chronic toxicity studies)
to learn how the period of exposure affects toxic response.  In
general, the reasons to conduct toxicity studies can be summar-
ized as follows:

       e  Identify the specific organs or systems of the body
          that may be damaged by a substance.

       e  Identify specific abnormalities or diseases  that  a
          substance may produce, such as cancer, birth defects,
          nervous disorders, or behavioral problems.

       e  Establish the conditions of exposure and dose that give
          rise to specific forms of damage or disease.

       e  Identify the specific nature and course of the injury
          or disease produced by a substance.

       e  Identify the biological processes that underlie the
          production of observable damage or disease.

    The laboratory methods needed to accomplish many of these
goals  have been in use for many years, although some methods are
still  being developed.  Before describing some of the  tests, it
is useful to say more about the various manifestations of toxi-
city.


Manifestations of Toxicity

     Toxic responses, regardless of the organ or system in  which
they occur, can be of several types.  For some, the severity of
the injury increases as the dose increases.  Thus, for example,
some chemicals affect the liver.  At high doses they may kill
liver  cells, perhaps so many as to destroy the liver and thus
cause  the deaths of some or all experimental subjects.  As  the
dose  is  lowered, fewer cells may be killed, but they may exhibit
other  forma of damage, causing imperfections in their  function-
ing.   At lower doses still, no cell deaths may occur and there

                              -16-

-------
may be only slight alterations in cell  function  or  structure.
Finally, a dose may be achieved at which  no  effect  is  observed,
or at which there are only biochemical  alterations  that  have no
known adverse effects on the health of  the animal  (although some
toxicologists consider any such alteration,  even if its  long-terr,
consequences are unknown, to be "adverse," there is no clear
consensus on this issue.)  One of the goals  of toxicity  studies
is to determine the "no observed effect level"  (NOEL), which is
the dose at which no effect it seen; the  role of the NOEL in risk
assessment is discussed later.

     Zn other cases, the severity of an effect nay  not increase
with dose, but the incidence of the effect will  increase with
increasing dose.  In such cases, the number  of animals experienc-
ing an adverse effect at a given dose is  less than  the total
number, and, as the dose increases, the fraction experiencing
adverse effects (i.e., the incidence of disease  or  injury)  in-
creases; at sufficiently high dose, all experimental subjects
will experience the effect.  The latter responses are  properly
characterized as probabilistic.  Increasing  the  dose increases
the probability (i.e., risk) that the -abnormality trill develop in
an exposed population.  Often with toxic  effects, including can-
cer, both the severity and the incidence  increase as the  level of
exposure is raised.  The increase in severity is a  result of
increased damage at higher doses, while the  increase in  incidence
is a result of differences in individual  sensitivity.  In addi-
tion, th«- site at which a substance acts  (e.g.,  liver, kidney)
may change as the dose changes.

     Generally, as the duration of exposure  increases, both the
NOEL and the doses at which effects appear decrease; in  some
cases, new effects not apparent upon exposures of short  duration
become manifest.

     Toxic responses also vary in degree  of  reversibility.   In
some cases, an effect will disappear almost  immediately  following
cessation of exposure.  At the other extreme, some  exposures will
result in a permanent injury--for example, a severe birth defect
resulting from a substance that irreversibly damages a fetus at  a
critical moment of its development.  Most toxic  responses fall
somewhere between these extremes.  In many experiments,  however,
the degree of reversibility cannot be ascertained by the  investi-
gator .

     Seriousness is another characteristic of a  toxic  response.
Certain types of toxic damage are clearly adverse and  are a def-
inite threat to health.  However, other types of effects  observed
during toxicity studies are not clearly of health significance.
For example, at a given dose a chemical may  produce a  slight
                               -17-

-------
increase in red blood cell count.  If no other  effects  are  ob-
served at this dose, it will not be at all clear  that  a true
adverse response has occurred.  Determining whether  such sligh
changes are significant to health is one of the critical issues
in assessing safety that has not b«en fully clarified.


Design and Conduct of Toxieity Tests

     Toxicity experiments vary widely in design and  conduct.
Although there are relatively well standardized tests  for various
types of toxicity (e.g., National Cancer Institute carcinogen-
icity bioassays) developed by regulatory and public  agencies ir.
connection with the premarket testing requirements imposed  on
certain classes of chemicals, large numbers of other tests  and
research-oriented investigations are conducted  using specialized
study designs (e.g., carcinogenicity assays in  fish).   In this
section, we present a few of the critical considerations that
enter into the design of toxicity experiments.  However,  there
are numerous variations on the general themes we  describe.


     Selection of Animal Species

     Rodents, usually rats or mice, are the most  commonly used
laboratory animals for toxicity testing.  Other rodents  (e.g.,
hamsters and guinea pigs) are sometimes used, and many  experi-
ments are conducted using rabbits, dogs, and such non human  pri
mate* »« monkeys or baboons.  For example, although nonhuman
primates may be chosen for some reproductive studies because
their reproductive systems are similar to that of humans, rabbits
are often used for testing dermal toxicity because their shaved
skin is more sensitive.

     Rats and mice are the most common choice because  they  are
inexpensive and can be handled relatively easily. Furthermore,
such factors as genetic background and disease  susceptibility are
well established for these species.  The full lifespans  of  these
smaller rodents are complete in two to three years/  so  that the
effects of lifetime exposure to a substance can be measured rela-
tively quickly (as compared to the much longer-lived dog or
monkey ) .


     Dose and Duration
     An LDsn using high doses of the  substance  is  frequently  the
 first toxicity experiment performed.  After completing these*
 experiments, investigators study the  effects of lower doses
                           -18-

-------
administered over longer periods.  The purpose  is to  find  the
range of doses over which adverse effects occur and to  identify
the NOEL for these effects (although the latter is  ot  always
sought or achieved).  A toxicity experiment  is  of l.mited  value
i.nless a dose of sufficient magnitude to cause  some type of
idverse effect within the durition of the experiment  is achieved.
3f no effects are seen at all doses adminiftered, the toxic
properties of the substances 'ill not have been characterized,
and the investigator will usually repeat the experiment at higher
doses or will extend its duration.s

     Studies are frequently characterized according to  the dura-
tion of exposure.  Acute toxirity studies involve a single dose,
or exposures of very short duration (e.g., 8 hours of inhala-
tion).  Chronic studies involve exposures for near the  full  life-
times of the experimental aninals.  Experiments of  -arying dura-
tion between these extremes are referred to  as  subc ronic  stud-
ies.


     Number of Dose Levels

     Although it is desirable that many different dose levels be-
used to develop a well characterized dose-response relationship,
practical considerations usually limit the number to  two or
three, especially in chronic studies.  Experiments involving a
single dose are frequently reported and leave great uncertainty
about the full range of doses over which effects are  expected.


     Controls

     No toxicity experiment is interpretable if control animals
are omitted.  Control animals must be of the same species,
strain, sex, age, and state of health as the treated  animals, and
must be held under identical conditions throughout the experi-
ment.  (Indeed, allocation of aninals to control and  treatment
groups should be performed on a completely random basis.)  Of
course, the control animals are not exposed  to  the substance
under test.
5Some substances with extremely low toxicity must be administered
 at extremely high levels to produce effects; in many cases, such
 high levels will cause dietary maladjustments leading to an
 adverse nutritional effect that confounds interpretation.  As a
 practical matter/ the highest level of a compound fed to an
 animal in toxicity studies is 5% of the diet, even if no toxic
 effect is seen at this level.
                                -19-

-------
     Route of Exposure

     Animals are usually exposed by a  route  that  is  as  close as
possible to that through which humans  will be  exposed,  because
the purpose of most such tests is to produce the  data upon which
human safety decisions will be based.   In some cases, however,
the investigator may have to use other routes  or  conditions of
dosing to achieve the desired experimental dose.   For example,
some chemicals are administered by stomach tube (gavage)  because
they are too volatile or unpalatable to be placed in the  animals'
diets at the high levels needed for toxicity studies.


     Specialized Designs

     Generally/ the toxicologist exposes test  animals and simply
records whatever effects happen to occur under the conditions  of
the experiment.  If, however/ it is decided  that  certain  highly
specific hypotheses about a substance  are to be tested  (e.g./
does the substance cause birth defects or does it affect  the
immune system?), certain specialised designs must be used.   Thus,
for example/ the hypothesis that a chemical  is teratogenic
(causes birth defects) can be tested only if pregnant females  are
exposed at certain critical times during pregnancy.

     One of the most complex of the specialized tests is  the
earcinogenesis bioas»ay.  These experiments  are used to test the
hypothesis of carcinogenic!ty—that is/ the  capacity of a sub-
stance to* produce tumors.  Because of  the importance of the  ear-
cinogenesis bioassay/ a full section is devoted to it.  We  shall
then.discuss/ in turn/ controversial issues  in the design of
animal tests and interpretation of test results.


Design of Tests for Careinogenieity

     Zn a National Cancer Institute (MCI) carcinogenicity bioas-
say, the test substance is administered over most of the  adult
life of the animal, and the animal is  observed for formation of
tumors.  The general principles of test design previously dis-
cussed apply to carcinogenicity testing/ but one  critical design
issue that has been highly controversial requires extensive  dis-
cussion.  The issue is the concept of  maximum  tolerated dose
(MTD)/ which is defined as the maximum dose  that  an  animal  spe-
cies can tolerate for a major portion  of its lifetime without
significant impairment of growth or observable toxic effect  other
than carcinogenicity.  Cancer can take most  of a  lifetime to
develop, and it is thus widely agreed  that studies should be
designed so that the animals survive in relatively good health
for  a normal lifetime.  It is not so widely  agreed,  however/ that
                             -20-

-------
the MTD, as currently used, is the best way  to  achieve  this
objective.  The MTD and half the MTD are  the usual  doses  used in
the NCI carcinogenicity bioassay.

     The main reason cited for using the  MTD as the highest dose
in the bioassay is that experimental studies are conducted on a
small scale, making them 'statistically insensitive,"  and that
very high doses overcome this problem.  For  practical  reasons,
experimental studies are carried out with relatively small groups
of animals.  Typically, 50 or 60 animals  of  each species  and sex
will be used at each dose level, including the  control  group.  At
the end of such an experiment, the incidence of cancer  as a func-
tion of dose (including control animal incidence)  is tabulated by
the examining pathologists .  Statisticians then analyze the data
to determine whether any observed differences in tumor  incidence
(fraction of animals having a tumor of a  certain type)  are due to
random variations in tumor incidence or to treatment with the
substance.

     Zn an experiment of about this size,  assuming  none of the
control animals develop tumors, the lowest incidence of cancer
that is detectable with statistical reliability is  in the range
of 5%, or 3 animals with tumors in a test group of  60 animals. '
If control animals develop tumors (as they frequently do), the
lowest range of cancer incidence detectability  is even  higher.  A
cancer incidence of 51 is very high, yet  ordinary experimental
studies are not capable of detecting lower rates and most are
even le<* -sensitive.
     MTD advocates argue that  inclusion of  high doses will  com-
pensate for the weak detection power of these experiments.   By
using the MTD, the toxicologist hopes to elicit any  important
toxic effects of a substance and ensure that even  weak  carcin-
ogenic effects of the chemical will be detected by the  study.
MTD critics do not reject the  notion that animal experiments may
be statistically insensitive,  but  rather are concerned  about the
biological implications of such high doses.

     Concerns about use of MTD a can be summarized:  (1)  the
underlying biological mechanisms that lead  to the  production of
cancer may change as the dose  of the carcinogen changes;  (2) cur-
rent methods for estimating an MTD for use  in an experiment do
not usually take these mechanisms  into account; (3)  the  biologi-
cal mechanisms at work under conditions of  actual  human  exposure
may be quite different from those  at work at or near the  MTD; and
(4) therefore, observations at or  near an MTD (as  determined by
current methods) may not be qualitatively relevant to conditions
of actual human exposure.
                               -21-

-------
     Many agree that greater attention should be  paid  to  develop
ing data on the underlying mechanisms of carcinogenicity  and
their relation to dose.  Also, a range of doses should be includ-
ed in carcinogenicity testing to assess whether physiological
mechanisms that would normally detoxify the  chemical are  over-
whelmed at an MTD.  These biological considerations have  consid-
erable merit, but they are frequently disregarded in designing
studies and interpreting data.  Although there are occasional
attempts to develop a more biologically relevant  definition  of
MTD, aost current tests (e.g., those carried out  by the National
Toxicology Program) use a definition of MTD  that  does  not take
biological mechanisms into account.

     This state of affairs is not likely to  change.  Those who
promote the use of MTD/ as currently defined, frequently  argue
that if the highest dose used was not the MTD, failure to observe
a carcinogenic effect in a given experiment  does  not permit  the
conclusion that the tested substance is not  carcinogenic.  A
similar argument is made if the survival of  the test animals did
not approximate their full lifetimes.


Conduct and Interpretation of Toxicitv Tests

     Many factors must be considered in the  conduct of toxicity
tests to ensure their success and the utility of  their results.
Zn evaluating the result* of such tests, certain  questions must
be asked~about the design and conduct of a test to ensure criti-
cal appraisal.  The major questions include  the following:

     1.   Has the experimental design adequate to test the hypo-
          thesis under examination?

     2.   Was the general conduct of the test in  compliance with
          standards of good laboratory practice?

     3.   Mas the dose of test compound correctly determined by
          chemical analysis?

     4.   Was the test compound adequately characterized  with
          regard to the nature and extant of impurities?

     S.   Did the animals actually receive the test compound?

     6.   Were animals that died during the  test  adequately exam-
          ined?

     7.   How carefully were test animals observed during  the
          conduct of the test?
                             -12-

-------
     8.    What tests were performed on the animals (e.g., blood
          tests, clinical chemistry tests) and were they ade-
          quately performed?

     9.    If the animals were examined histopathologically  (i.e.,
          detailed pathological examination based on sections
          taken from individual tissues), was the examination
          performed by a qualified pathologist?

    10.    Was the extent of animal and animal tissue examination
          adequate?

    11.    Were the various sets of clinical and pathology data
          properly tabulated?

    12.    Were the statistical tests used appropriate and were
          they adequately performed?

    13.    Was the report of the test sufficiently detailed so
          that these questions can be answered?
                                                              t

     A proper evaluation would ensure that these and other types
of quest-ions were examined and would include a list of qualifica-
tions on. test results in areas where answers were missing or
unsatisfactory.


Categorization of Toxic Effects

     Toxicity tests may reveal that a substance produces a wide
variety of adverse effects on different organs or systems of the
body or that the range of effects is narrow.  Some effects may
occur only at the higher doses used, and only the most sensitive
indicators of a substance's toxicity may be manifest at the lower
doses .

     The toxic characteristics of a substance are usually catego-
rised according to the organs or systems they affect (e.g., liv-
er, kidney, nervous system) or the diseases they cause (e.g.,
cancer,  birth defects).  The most commonly used categorizations
of toxicity are briefly described in Appendix X.

     Although there are uncertainties associated with most evalu-
ations of animal toxicity data, there are some special problems
associated with interpretation of carcinogenicity data.  Because
these problems are the source of much controversy, we afford their.
special attention in the next section.
                             -23-

-------
Uncertainties in Evaluation
of Animal Carcinogenicity
Test Results

     One area of uncertainty and controversy concerns the occur-
rence of certain types of tumors in control animals.  In most
animal experiments, control animals will also develop tumors, and
interpretation of such experiments depends on comparing the inci-
dence of tumors in control animals with that observed in treated
animals.  In some instances, this is not as straightforward as  it
Bay seem.  For example, the lifetime incidence of lung tumors in
a certain strain of male mice, untreated with any substance, may
vary from a low of about 2% to a high of about 40%; the average
rate is about 14%.  Suppose that, in a particular experiment,
sale Bice treated with a substance exhibited a 35% incidence of
lung tumors, and control animals exhibited an incidence of 8%.
Statistical analysis of such data would show that the treated
animals experienced a statistically significant increase in tumor
incidence, and the substance producing this effect might be la-
beled a lung carcinogen.

     Further analysis of the incidence data suggests that such a
statistical analysis may b« misleading.  The 35% incidence ob-
served in treated animals is within the range of tumor incidence
that is normally experienced by Bale mice, although the particu-
lar group of male mice used as controls in this experiment exhib-
ited an incidence in,the low end of the normal range.  Onder sue
circumstances, use of the simple statistical test of significanc
Bight^e .misleading and result in the erroneous labeling of  a
substance as a carcinogen.

     Another major area of uncertainty arises in the interpreta-
tion of experimental observations of b«nign tumors.  Some types
of tumors are clearly malignant? that is, they are groups of
cells that grow in uncontrolled ways, invade other tissues,  and
are frequently fatal.  There is usually no significant contro-
versy about such tumors, and pathologists generally agree that
their presence is a clear sign that a carcinogenic process has
occurred.  Other tumors are benign at the time they are observed
by pathologists, and it is not always clear they should be con-
sidered indicators of a carcinogenic process.  Soae tumors will
remain benign for the lifetime of the animal, but in some cases
they have been observed to progress to malignancy.  Generally,
the numbers of animals with benign tumors that are thought to  be
part of the carcinogenic process are combined with those having
malignancies to establish the total tumor incidence.  Many path-
ologists disagree with such combining, and there appears to  be no
end to the controversy in this area.  The issue has been espe-
cially controversial in connection with tumors found in  rodent
livers.
                            -24-

-------
Short-Term Tests, for Carcinogens

     The lifetime animal study  is the  primary  method used for
detecting the carcinogenic properties  of  a substance.   In recent
years, other experimental techniques have become available and,
although none is yet considered definitive,  they may provide
important information.

     Short-term tests for carcinogenicity measure effects that
empirically or theoretically appear to be correlated with carcin-
ogenic activity.  These tests include  assays for gene mutations
in bacteria, yeast, fungi, insects, and mammalian cells;  mamma-
lian cell transformation assays; assays for  DNA  damage and re-
pair; and i,n vitro  (outside the animal—e.g.,  bacterial cells as
in the Ames mutagenicity assay) and in vivo  (within  the animal)
assays for chromosomal mutations in animals' cells.   In addition
to these rapid (test-tube) tests, several tests  of intermediate
duration involving whole animals have  been used.   These include
the induction of skin and lung tumors  in  mice, breast  cancer in
female certain species of rats, and anatomical changes in the
livers of rodents.

     Other tests are used to determine whether a substance will
interact with the genetic apparatus of the cell,  as  some  well-
known eafcinogens apparently do.  However, not all substances
that interact with DMA have been found to be carcinogenic in
animal systems.  Furthermore, not all  animal carcinogens  interact
directly with genetic material.

     These short-term tests are playing increasingly important
roles in helping to identify suspected carcinogens.  They provide
useful information  in a relatively short  period,  and may  become
critical screening tools, particularly for selecting chemicals
for long-term animal tests.  They may  also assist in understand-
ing the biological processes underlying the  production of tumors.
They have not been definitively correlated with  results in animal
models, however, and regulatory agencies  and other public health
institutions do not consider positive  or  negative results in
these systems as definitive indicators of carcinogenicity or the
lack thereof, but only as ancillary evidence.
DATA ?ROM HUMAN STUDIES

     Information on adverse health effects  in human populations
is obtained from four sources:   (1) summaries of  self-reported
symptoms in exposed persons;  (2) case reports prepared by medical
personnel; (3) correlational  studies (in which differences in

                               -25-

-------
disease rates in human populations are associated with differ-
•noes in environmental conditions); and (4) epidemiological st
ies.  The first three types of study can be characterized as
descriptive epidemiology and are often useful in drawing atten-
tion to previously unsuspected problems.  Although they cannot.
identify a cause-and-effect relationship, they have value in
generating hypotheses that can be further tested.  Epidemiologic
studies involve comparing the health status of a group of persons
who have been exposed to a suspected agent with that of a compar-
able nonexposed group.

     Most epidemiology studies are either case-control studies  or
cohort studies.  In case-control studies, a group of individuals
with a specific disease is identified and an attempt is made to
ascertain commonalities in exposures they may have experienced  in
the past.  The carcinogenic properties of OES were discovered
through such studies.  In cohort studies, the health status of
individuals known to have had a common exposure is examined to
determine whether any specific condition or cause of death is
revealed to be excessive, compared to an appropriately matched
control population.  Benzene leuxemogenesis was established with
studies of these types.  Generally, epidemiologists have turned
to occupational settings or to patients treated with certain
drugs to conduct their studies.

     When epidemiological investigations yield convincing re-
sults? they are enormously beneficial because they provide info
mation about humans under actual conditions of exposure to a
specific agent.  Therefore, results from well-designed, properly
controlled studies are usually given more weight than results
from animal studies in the evaluation of the total database.
Although no study can provide complete assurance that no risk
exists, negative data from epidemiological studies of sufficient
size can be used to establish the lev«l of risk that exposure to
an agent almost assuredly will not exceed.

     Although epidemiology studies are powerful when clearest
differences exist, several points must be considered when their
results are interpreted:

       •  Appropriately matched control groups are difficult to
          identify, because the factors that lead to the exposure
          of the study group (e.g., occupation or residence) are
          often associated with other factors that affect health
          status (e.g., lifestyle and socioeconomic status).

       e  Zt is difficult to control for related risk factors
          (e.g., cigarette smoking) that have strong effects
          on health.
                            -26-

-------
       •  ?ew types of health effects (other than death)  are
          recorded systematically in human populations  (and even
          the information on cause of death is of limited relia-
          bility).  For example, infertility, miscarriages, and
          mental illnesses are not as a rule systematically re-
          corded by public health agencies.

       •  Accurate data on the degree of exposure to potentially
          hazardous substances are rarely available, especially
          when exposures have taken place in the past.  Estab-
          lishing dose-response relations is thus frequently
          impossible.

       •  For investigation of diseases that take many years
          to develop, such as cancer, it is necessary to  wait
          many years to ascertain the absence of an effect.
          Of course, exposure to suspect agents could continue  '
          during these extended periods of time and thereby
          further increase risk.

       •  The statistical detection power of epidemiological
          .studies is limited, unless very large populations are
          'studied.

     For these reasons, epidemiological studies are subject to
sometimes extreme uncertainties. ' It is usually necessary to have
independent confirmatory evidence, such as a concordant result in
a second epidemiological study, or supporting data from experi-
mental studies in animals.  Because of the limitations of epi-
demiology, negative findings must also be interpreted with cau-
tion.6
*Xt is important to recognize the limitations of negative epide-
 mioldgical findings.  A simple example reveals why this is so.
 Suppose a drug that causes cancer in one out of every 100 people
 exposed to 10 units is released for use (no one is aware of the
 risks).  Moreover, the average time required for cancer to
 develop from 10 units' exposure is 30 years (not uncommon for a
 carcinogen).  After the drug has been in use for 15 years, an
 epidemiologist decides to study its effects.  Re locates the
 death certificates of 20 people who took the drug, but finds
 little information on their dosage.  Some took the drug when it
 was first released, others not for several years after its
 release.  The health records, which are incomplete, reveal no
 excess cancer in the 20 people when compared to an appropriate
 control group.  Is it correct to conclude that the drug is not
 carcinogenic?

HA2ASD IDENTIFICATION:  A SUMMARY

     For some substances the available database  may  include  sub-
stantial information on effects in humans and  experimental
animals, and may also include information on the biological  mech-
anisms underlying the production of one or more  forms  of  toxi-
city.  In other cases, the database may be highly limited and may
include only a few studies in experimental animals.

     In some cases, all the available data may point clearly in a
single direction, leaving little ambiguity about the nature  of
toxicity associated with a given compound; in  others,  the data
may include apparently conflicting sets of experimental or epide-
niological findings.  It is not unusual for a  well-studied con-
pound to have conflicting results from toxicity  tests.  If the
tests are performed properly, positive tests results usually
outweigh negative test results.  Confusion may be compounded by
the observation that the type, severity, or site of  toxicity may
vary with the species of animal exposed.  Although it  is  gen-
erally accepted that results in animals are and  have been useful
in predicting effects in humans, such notable  exceptions  as
thalidomide have occurred.  This complex issue,  briefly mentioned
here, must be considered for each compound exaained.

     The foregoing discussion of hazard evaluation was derived
for exposures to a single toxic agent.  Humans are rarely expose
to only'one substance':  commercial chemicals contain impurities,
chemicals are used in combinations, and lifestyle choices (e.g.,
smoking, drinXing) may increase exposure to mixtures of chemi-
cals.  When humans are exposed to two or more  chemicals,  several
results may occur.  The compounds may act independently;  that is,
exposure to the additional chemical(s) has no  observable  effect
on the toxic properties of the substance.  Toxic effects  of  chem-
icals may be additive; that is, if chemical A  produces 1  unit of
disease and chemical B produces 2 units of disease,  then  exposure
to chemicals A and B produces 3 units of disease. Exposure  to
combinations of chemicals may produce a greater  than additive
(synergistic) effect; that is, exposure to chemicals A and B
produces more than 3 units of disease.  Finally, chemicals may
reduce the degree of toxicity of each other  (antagonism); that
is, exposure to chemicals A and B produces less  than 3 units of
disease.  Hazard evaluation of mixtures of chemicals is complex
and not standardized.

     &  proper hazard evaluation should include a critical review
of each pertinent data set and of the total database bearing on
toxicity.  It should also include an evaluation  of the inferences
                              -28-

-------
about toxicity in human populations who might be exposed.  At
this stage of risk assessment/ however, there is no attempt to
project human risk.  For the latter/ at least two additional sets
of analyses must be conducted.

-------
                  IV.  DOSE-RESPONSE EVALUATION
INTRODUCTION

     The next step in risk assessment  is  to  estimate the dose-
response relationships for the various  forms of  toxicity exhib-
ited by the substance under review.  Even where  good epidemiolo-
gical studies have been conducted/ there  are rarely  reliable
quantitative data on exposure.  Hence/  in most cases dose-
response relationships must be estimated  from studies in animals
which immediately raises three serious  problems:   (1) animals are
usually exposed at high doses, and effects at low  doses  must be
predicted, using theories about the form  of  the  dose-response
relationship; (2) animals and humans often differ  in suspectibil-
ity, if only because of differences in  size  and  metabolism;  and
(3) the human population is very heterogeneous,  so that  some
individuals are likely to be more susceptible than average.

     Toxicologists conventionally make  two general assumptions
about the form of dose-response relationships at low doses.   For
effects that involve alteration of genetic material  (including
the initiation of cancer), there are theoretical reasons to  be-
lieve that effects ma.y take place at very low dose levels; sever-
al spec-lfi-c mathematical models of dose-reponse  relationships
have been proposed.  For most other biological effects,  it is
usually assumed that "threshold* levels exist.   However, it  is
very difficult to use such measures to  predict "safe" levels in
humans.  Even if it is assumed that humans and animals are,  on
the average, similar in intrinsic susceptibility,  humans are
expected to have more variable responses  to  toxic  agents.  We
discuss these and other issues at length  in  the  following subsec-
tions .
THRESHOLD BPPBCTS

     It is widely accepted on  theoretical  grounds,  if not defini-
tively proved empirically/ that most  biological  effects  of chemi-
cal  substances occur only after a  threshold  dose is achieved.   In
the  experimental systems described here/ the threshold dose is
approximated by the no-observable-effect level or NOEL.

     It has also been widely accepted,  at  least  in  the process  of
setting public health standards/ that the  human  population is
likely to have much more variable  responses  to toxic agents than
are  the small groups of well-controlled/ genetically homogeneous

                               -30-

-------
animals ordinarily used in experiments.  Moreover,  the  NOEL is
itself subject to some uncertainty  (e.g.,  how  can  it  be known
that the most serious effects of a  substance have  been  identi-
fied?).  Por these reasons, standard-setting and public health
agencies protect populations from substances displaying threshold
effects by dividing experimental NOELs by  large "safety factors."
The magnitude of safety factors varies according to the nature
and quality of the data from which  the NOEL is derived; the seri-
ousness of the toxic effects; the type of  protection  being sou.;-•
(e.g./ are we protecting against acute,  subchronic, or  chronic
exposures?); and the nature of the  population  to be protected
(e.g., the general population, or populations—such as  workers—
expected to exhibit a narrower range of  susceptibilities).  Safa-
ty factors of 10; 100; 1,000; and 10,000 have  been  used in vari-
ous circumstances.

     NOELs are used to calculate the Acceptable Daily Intake
(ADZ) for humans (which goes by other names in some circum-
stances) for chemical exposures.  The ADI  is derived  by dividing
the experimental NOEL, in mg/kg/day, for the toxic  effect  appear-
ing at lowest dose, by one of the safety factors listed above.
The ADI (or its equivalent) is thus expressed  in mg/kg/day.   For
example,-a substance with a NOEL from a  chronic toxicity study of
100 ag/fcg/day may be assigned an ADI of 1  mg/kg/day,  for chronic
human exposure.  The concentration  of the  substance—be it pesti-
cide, foctd additive, or drinking water contaminant—permitted in
various media must'b« determined by taking into account the vari-
ous uses to which the material has  been or will be  put,  the pos-
sible routes of exposure, and the degree of human contact.  Ths
permitted concentrations, sometimes called tolerances or crite-
ria, are assigned to ensure the ADI is not exceeded.

     This approach has been used for several decades  by such
federal regulatory agencies as FDA  and EPA, as well as  by  such
international bodies as the World Health Organization and  by
various committees of the National  Academy of  Sciences,

     Although there may be some biological justification for
assuming the need for safety factors to protect the more sensi-
tive members of the human population, there is very little scien-
tific support for the specific safety factors  used.   They  are
arbitrarily chosen to compensate for uncertainty and, in fact,
could be seen as policy rather than scientific choices.

     There is no way to determine that exposures at ADIs esti-
mated in this fashion are without risk.  The ADI represents  an
acceptable, low level of risk but not a  guarantee of  safety.
Conversely, there may be a range of exposures  well above the  ADI,
perhaps including the experimental  NOEL  itself, that  bears no


                               -31-

-------
risk to humans.  The "NOEL-safety  factor"  approach includes no   ^^
attempt to ascertain how risk changes  below  the range of experi-
mentally-observed dose-response  relations.

     The assessment of low dose  "risks" from threshold agents are
discussed in    Section VI on Risk  Characterization.
        THAT MAY KOT EXHIBIT THRESHOLDS

     At present, only agents displaying  carcinogenic properties
are treated as if they do not display  thresholds  (although a few
scientists suggest that some teratogens  and  mutagens may behave
similarly).  In somewhat more technical  terms,  the  dose-response
carve for carcinogens in the human  population  achieves  zero risk
only at zero dose; as the dose  increases above  zero, the risk
immediately becomes finite and  thereafter increases as  a function
of dose.  Risk is the probability of cancer, and  at very low
doses the risk can be extremely email  (this  will  vary according
to the potency of the carcinogen).  In this  respect, carcinogens
are not much different from agents  for which ADIs are established
(i.e., the most that can be said about an ADI  is  that it repre-
sents a very low risk, not that it  represents  the condition of
absolute safety).


The Carcinogenic Process

     If a particular type of damage occurs to  the genetic mate-
rial (DNA) of even a single cell, that cell  may undergo a series
of changes that eventually result in - the production of  a tumor;
however, the time required for  all  the necessary  transitions that
culminate in cancer may be a substantial portion  of an  animal's
or human's lifetime.  Carcinogens may  also affect any number of
the transitions from one stage  of cancer development to the next.
Some carcinogens appear capable only of  initiating  the  process
(theae are termed "initiators").  Still  others  act  only at later
stages, the natures of which are not well known (so-called promo-
tors aay act at one or more of  these later stages).  And some
carcinogens may act at several  stages.  Some scientists postulate
that an arbitrarily small amount of a  carcinogen, even  a single
molecule, could affect the transition  of normal cells to cancer-
ous cells at one or more of the various  stages, and that a great-
er amount of the carcinogen merely  increases the  probability that
a given transition would occur. Under these circumstances there
is little likelihood of an absolute threshold  below which there
is no effect on the process (even though the effect may be ex-
ceedingly small).
                               -32-

-------
     This description of the carcinogenic process  is  still  under
extensive scientific scrutiny and is by no means established.
However, it is by far the dominant model and  it has substantial
support.  This multistage model has influenced the development of
some of the models used for dose-response evaluation.   Before
discussing these models further, it is useful to review the ex-
perimental dose-response information obtained from bioassays and
to discuss why models of the doser-response relation are needed.


Potency and Hiqh~to-Low Dose Extrapolation

     The following example, drawn from Rodricks and Taylor,7
illustrates the need for high-to-low dose extrapolation.  ASSUT.S
that a substance has been tested in mice and  rats of  both sexas
and been found to produce liver cancer in male rats.   A typical
summary of the data from such an experiment might be  as follow.?:

     The incidence of liver cancer is expressed as a  fraction,
and is the number of animals found to have liver tumors  divider1
by the total number of animals at risk.  The probability (P)  of
cancer is simply the fraction expressed as a decimal  (e.g.,  25/50
• 0.50).

     Although there is "no-effect" at 125 mg/kg/day,  the response
is nevertheless compatible with a risk of about 0.05  (5%) because
of the statistical uncertainties associated with the  small  num-
bers of animals used.

     This experiment reveals that if humans and rats  are about
equally susceptible to the agent, an exposure of 250  mg/kg/day in
humans will increase their lifetime risk by 20%; if 1,000 people
were to be exposed to this substance at this dose for  a lifetime,
then 200 of these people will be expected to contract  cancer  from
this substance.  This is an extremely high risk and obviously  one

that no one would sanction.  However,  it  is  near  the low end of ^^
the range of rislcs that can be detected in animal experiments.

     To continue with the illustration, assume  that it is possi-
ble to estimate the daily dose of the  chemical  in the human popu-
lation.  For the present example/ assume  that the exposed human
population receives a dose of 1.0 mg/kg/day.  It  thus becomes of
interest to know the risk to male rats at 1.0 mg/kg/day.

     There is a great difference between  the doses used experi-
mentally and the dose of interest.  The risks that would likely
exist at a dose of 1.0 ag/kg/day are quite small  and to determine
whether they exist at all would require enormous  numbers of ani-
mals (perhaps hundreds of thousands).  It is thus necessary under
these circumstances to rely on means other than experimentation
to estimate potential risk.

     Scientists have developed several mathematical models to
estimate low dose risks from high dose risks.   Such models de-
scribe the expected quantitative relationship between risk (F)
and dose (d), and are used to estimate a  value  for P (the risk)
at the dose of interest (in our example,  the dose of 1.0 mg/kg/
day).  The accuracy of the projected P at the dose of interest,
d, is .a function of how accurately  the mathematical model de-
scribes the true, but. immeasurable, relationship  between dose
risk -*t the low dose levels.

     These mathematical models are  too complex  for detailed expo-
sition in this document.  Various models  may lead to very differ-
ent estimations of risk.  None is chemical-specific; that is,
each is based on general theories of carcinogenesis rather than
on data for a specific chemical.  None can be proved or disproved
by current scientific data, although future  results of research
may increase our understanding of carcinogenesis  and help in
refining these models.  Regulatory  agencies  currently use one-
hit, multistage, and probit models, although regulatory decisions
are usually based on results of the one-hit  or  multistage models.
They also use multihit, Weibull, and logit models for risk
assessment.

     If these models are applied to the data recorded earlier for
the hypothetical chemical, the following  estimates of lifetime
risk for male rats8 at the dose of  1.0 mg/kg/day  are derived:

*A11 rislcs are for a full lifetime  of  daily  exposure.  The life-
  time  is  the unit of risk measurement  because the experimental
  data  reflect the risk experienced  by  animals over their full
  lifetimes.  The values shown  are upper confidence limits on risk
  (data drawn from Rodricks and Taylor, 1983).

     Ther-2 may be no experimental basis  for deciding  which  esti-
mate is closest to the truth.  Nevertheless, it  is possible  tc
show that the true risk, at least to animals,  is very unlikely  tc
be higher than the highest risk predicted by the various  models.

     Zn cas&s where relevant data exist  on biological mechanisms
of action, the selection of a model should be  consistent  with
the data.  In many cases, however, such  data are very limited,
resulting in great uncertainty in the selection  of a  model for
low dosa extrapolation.  At present, understanding of the mecha-
nism of the process of carcinogenesis is still quite  limited.
Biological evidence, however, does indicate the  linearity of
tumor initiation, and consequently linear models are  frequently
used by regulatory agencies.

    The one-hit model always yields the  highest  estimate  of  low
dose risk.  This model is based on the biological theory  that a
single "hit" of some minimum critical amount of  a carcinogen at a
cellular target—namely, DNA—can initiate an irreversible series
of events that eventually lead to a tumor.

    The multistage model, which yields risk estimates  either
equal to or less than the one-hit model, is based on  the  same
theory .of cancer initiation.  However, this model can  be  more
flexible, allowing consideration of the  data in  the observable
range to influence the extrapolated risk at low  dose.  Zt is also
based on the multistage theory of the carcinogenic process and
thus has a plausible scientific basis.   EPA generally  uses the
linearixad multistage model for low dose extrapolation because
its scientific basis, although limited,  is considered  the strong-
eat of the currently available extrapolation models.   This model
yields estimates of risk that are conservative,  representing a
plausible upper limit for the risk.  Zn  other words,  it is un-
likely that the "actual* risk is higher  than the risk  predicted
under this model.

     The probit model incorporates the assumption that each indi-
vidual in a population has a 'tolerance* dose and that these
doses are distributed in the population  in a specified certain
way.  The other models have more complex bases;  because none is

widely used we shall not discuss then.  None of  the  models,  as
currently used, incorporates a threshold dose  for  an exposed
population.


Interspecies Extrapolation

     for the majority of agents, dose-response evaluation primar-
ily involves the analysis of tests that were performed  on labor-
atory animals, because useful human data are generally  not avail-
able.  In extrapolating the results of these animal  tests to
humans, the doses administered to animals must be  adjusted to
account for differences in size and metabolic  rates.  Differences
in metabolism may influence the validity of extrapolating from
animals to man if, for example, the actual material  producing the
carcinogenic effect is a metabolite of the tested  chemical,  and
the animal species tested and humans differ significantly in
their metabolism of the material.

     Several methods have been developed to adjust the  doses used
in animal tests to allow for differences in size and  metabolism.
They assume that human and animal risks are equivalent  when  doses
are measured in:

       o  Milligrams per kilogram body weight  per  day

       o  Milligrams per square meter of body  surface area per
          day

       o  Parts per million in the air, water, or  diet

       o  Milligrams per kilogram per lifetime.

Currently, a scientific basis for using one extrapolation method
over another has not been established.
DOSE-RESPONSE EVALUATION;  A SUMMARY

     For substances that do not display carcinogenic properties,
or for the noncarcinogenic effects of carcinogens, dose-response
evaluation consists of describing observed dose-response rela-
tions and identifying experimental NOELs.  NOELs can be used  to
establish ADIs, or can be used for the type of risk character-
ization described in Section VI.

     For carcinogens, various models are applied to project the
dose-response curve from the range of observed dose-responses to
                              -36-

-------
the  range of expected  human  doses.   After  the known or expected
human dose  is estimated  (Section  V)  carcinogenic risk can be
characterized (Section VI).   Although the  models in use yield a
range of dose-response relations,  it is  highly likely that the
projections of the more  protective models  will not underestimate
risk, at least to experimental  animals,  and they may strongly
overestimate it.  None of  the models includes a threshold.  In a
•few  cases, dose-response data are available from human epidemi-
ology studies and may  be used in  lieu of animal data for low dose
extrapolation.

     It  appears that  certain  classes  of carcinogens do not possess
the  capacity to damage DMA (they  are not genotoxic); in our ear-
lier discussion of the carcinogenic  process,  such substances
would affect only late stages in  the process.  Some scientists
maintain that such (nongenotoxic)  carcinogens must operate under
threshold mechanisms.  Many  of  the reasons for such a hypothesis
are  sound,  but no general  consensus  has  yet emerged on this mat-
ter. It is nevertheless possible that some classes of carcino-
gens could  be treated  in the same way noncarcinogens are treated
for  purposes of establishing ADIs.
                               -37-

-------
                  V.  HUMAN EXPOSURE EVALUATION
     Assessment of human exposure involves estimation of the  num-
ber of people exposed and the magnitude, duration, and timing  of
their exposure.  In some cases, it is fairly straightforward  to
measure human exposure directly, either by measuring levels of
the hazardous agents in the ambient environment or by using per-
sonal monitors.  In most cases, however, detailed knowledge is
required of the factors that control human exposure, including
•those factors which determine the behavior of the agent after  its
release into the environment.  The following types of information
are required for this type of exposure assessment:

       e  Information on the factors controlling the production
          of the hazardous agent and its release into the envi-
          ronment.

       e  Information on the quantities of the agent that are
          released, and the location and timing of release.

       e  Information on the factors controlling the fate of the
          agent in the environment after release, including fac-
          tors controlling its movement, persistence, and degra
          ation.  (The degradation products may be more or less
          toxic than the original agent.)

       e  Information on factors controlling human contact with
          the agent, including the size and distribution of vul-
          nerable human populations, and activities that facili-
          tate or prevent contact.

       e  Information on human intakes.

     The amount of information of these types that is available
varies greatly from case to case and is difficult to discuss  in
general terms.  For some agents, there is fairly detailed infor-
mation on the sources of release into the environment and on the
factors controlling the quantities released.  However, for many
agents there is very limited knowledge of the factors controlling
dispersion and fate after release.  Measurements of transport and
degradation in the complex natural environment are often diffi-
cult to conduct, so it is more common to rely on mathematical
models of the key physical and chemical processes, supplemented
with experimental studies conducted under simplified conditions.
Such models have been developed in considerable detail for radio-
isotopes, but have not yet been developed in comparable detail
for other physical and chemical agents.
                             -38-

-------
    In comparison with toxicology and epidemiology, the science
of exposure assessment is still at a very early stage of develop-
ment.  Except in fortunate circumstances, in which the behavior
of an agent in the environment is unusually simple, uncertainties
arising in exposure assessments are often at least as large as
those arising in assessments of inherent toxicity.

    Once these various factors are known human data can be esti-
mated, as described earlier.  The dose, its duration and timing,
and the nature and size of the population receiving it are the
critical measures of exposure for risk characterization.
                              -39-

-------
                   VI.  RISK CHARACTERIZATION
     The final step in risk assessment  involves  bringing  together
the information and analysis of the first three  steps.  Risk is
generally characterized as follows:

     1.   For noncarcinogens, and for the noncarcinogenic effects
          of carcinogens, the margin-of-safety  (MOS)  is estimated
          by dividing the experimental  NOEL by  the  estimated
          daily human dose.

     2.   For carcinogens, risk is estimated at  the human dose by
          multiplying the actual human  dose by  the  risk per  unit
          of dose projected from the dose-response  modelling.   A
          range of risks might be produced, using different  mod-
          els and assumptions about dose-response curves  and the
          relative susceptibilities of  humans and animals.

     Although this step can be far more complex  than  is indicated
here;  especially if problems of timing  and duration of exposure
are  introduced  (as they-no doubt need to be in  the  present case),
the  MOS and the carcinogenic risk are the ultimate  measures  of
the  likelihood  of human injury or disease from  a given exposure
or r»f*j« of exposures.

     The AOIs described earlier are not measures of risk;  they
are  derived by  imposing a specified safety factor (or, in the
above  language, a specified MOS).  Our  purpose  here is not to
specify an ADI, but to ascertain risk.  There is no means availa-
ble  to accomplish this for noncarcinogens.  The MOS is used  as a
surrogate for risk: as the MOS becomes  larger,  the  risk becomes
smaller.  At  some point, most scientists agree  that the MOS  is so
large  that human health is almost certainly not jeopardized.  The
magnitude of  the MOS  needed to achieve  this condition will vary
among  different substances, but its selection would be based on
factors similar to those used to select safety  factors to estab-
lish ADIs.

        TOXIC  EFFECTS ON  ORGANS AND OTHER TARGET SYSTEMS
INTRODUCTION

    To understand the potential toxic effects of chemicals,  it  is
useful to understand the toxic effects (i.e./ measurable  effects)
on endpoints that are commonly observed in animals, including
humans.  While the following discussion is presented by organ or
system, chemicals frequently affect more than one organ and  can
produce a variety of endpoints.  Concentration of the chemical,
duration of exposure, and route of exposure are three of  the
factors that can influence the potential toxic effect.
LIVER

    A major function of the liver is metabolism--i.e., the bio-
chemical conversion of one substance into another for purposes of
nutrition, storage, detoxification, or excretion.  The liver has
multiple mechanisms for each of these processes, and interference
with any of the processes can lead to a toxic effect.  Chemicals
that dama-ge the liver are termed "hepatotoxic.*  Toxic endpoints
of the liver can include lipid (e.g., fat) accumulation, jaun-
dice, cell death (necrosis), cirrhosis, and cancer.  In addition,
chemrfcAls that increase the level of metabolic enzymes, i.e.,
enzyme inducers, can dramatically affect the toxicity of other
compounds.

    The accumulation of lipids, primarily triglycerides, is re-
lated to the liver's conversion of sugars and carbohydrates into
fat for storage (or vice versa for energy production during star-
vation}.  Chemicals that increase the rate of triglyceride syn-
thesis, decrease the rate of triglyceride excretion, or both can
lead to an accumulation of lipids in the liver and a concomitant
decrease of triglycerides in the blood.  While the effects of
lipid accumulation in the liver are not known, a fatty liver is
generally regarded as an indication of an injury to  the organ.

    Jaundice is a frequent endpoint when the excretory functions
of the liver are impaired; the yellow cast of the skin is caused
by the retention in the blood of the yellow bile pigments that
would normally be excreted.  Since blood that has absorbed com-
pounds from the gastrointestinal tract passes through the liver
before the rest of the body, the liver is a major site for the
removal of nutrients and toxicants.  Elimination of the absorbed
toxicants can occur in the feces via the bile.  In addition to
                            -41-

-------
bile acting as a mechanism of excretion, bile salts aid  in  the
absorption of nutrients that are not water soluble.  Thus,  im-
pairing liver function can affect absorption of compounds.   Fi-
nally, the liver is also a site of the destruction of aged  red
blood cells.  Jaundice is an indicator of liver malfunction.

    Necrosis, or cell death, can occur from multiple causes.
There are many mechanisms by which toxicants can directly or
indirectly inhibit required cell functions.  The liver has  a
limited ability to regenerate destroyed cells.  Chronic  destruc-
tion of cells, however, may lead to cirrhosis of the liver  in
which the normal liver cells (hepatocytes) are replaced  by  al-
tered cells and connective tissue such as collagen.

    A wide variety of chemicals have been shown to cause liver
cancers in laboratory animals.  Exposure to vinyl chloride  has
been associated with liver cancers in humans.  The theories  and
uncertainties of carcinogenesis are discussed in the main text.

    As a major site of metabolism and and detoxification, the
liver contains enzyme systems that biochemically alter compounds.
Many of these processes facilitate excretion by making the  com-
pound more polar, i.e., highly charged (e.g., cytochrome P-450   ,
systems) or attaching polar groups to the compound (e.g., gluta-
thione, glycuronyl, or sulfo-transferases).  The speed at which
this occurs depends on the amount of enzyme present; the amount
of enzyme-can be increased by exposure to certain chemicals
called rn&tcvrs.  If a nonmetabolized compound is toxic, exposure
to an inducer Bay decrease the toxic effect by increasing the
rate at which the compound is metabolized.  If the compound needs
to be metabolized to be toxic, however, exposure to an inducer
may increase the toxic effect by increasing the rate of  its meta-
bolism.
KIDNEY

    AA  an organ whose major  function  is  the  elimination of  toxi-
cants and other waste products,  the kidney can be  considered
a  complex,  elaborate filter.  The  kidney concentrates wastes  for
elimination and retains  nutrients  and water  that are useful to
the body.   The kidney can metabolize  and detoxify  some of the
same compounds as  the liver,  although the rate of  metabolism  is
usually slower.  Compounds that  injure the kidney  are called
renal toxicants.   Some renal toxicants may cause cell death
 (necrosis)  or cancer.  In addition, the  kidney produces chemicals
necessary  for homeostasis (maintenance of the body's balance  of
 functions)  and responds  to the sympathetic nervous system.  To
efficiently remove the body's waste,  the kidneys must process
                                -42-

-------
large volumes of blood.  Thus, the  first  level  of  susceptibility
of the kidney is that which changes  the flow  of fluids.   This
change can be mechanical--e.g.,  kidney stones or puncturing
vesicles—or chemicals that dilate  or constrict the passages.

    The complexity of the kidney's  filtering  function makes it
susceptible to a number of toxicants.  Although some of  the fil-
tering requires no energy or special enzymes  since the flow is
from high to low concentrations, much of  the  selection is to a
higher concentration than in the blood and  is performed  by en-
zymes that may be affected by  chemicals.  Excessive elimination
of water, salts, or other nutrients  can be  as harmful as failure
to eliminate wastes.  Furthermore,  because  the  kidneys concen-
trate some toxicants, the effective  dose  of toxicants to the
kidneys may be higher than that  for  the rest  of the body.  Toxi-
cants that cause necrosis can  also  impair renal function.  Fail-
ure of the kidneys to filter properly is  frequently detected by
an increase in wastes in the blood  or an  increase  in nutrients in
the urine.

    The ability of-the kidney  to metabolize compounds has not
been studied as extensively as has  metabolism in the liver.  ' The
presence of inducible metabolic  enzyme systems  is  known.   Other
specific metabolic functions occur  in the kidney.   Finally,  be-
cause, the kidney produces compounds  that  are  necessary for other
body functions, damage to the  kidney may  affect other organ  sys-
tems..
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTE.M

    Reproductive toxicology  involves  at  least  three  organisms
(both male and female parents  and  their  offspring) and  consists
of many steps and stages.  Toxic effects to  the  reproductive
system can be classified  into  three general  endpoints:   impaired
ability to conceive, failure of the conceptus  to survive,  and
production of abnormal offspring.

    Problems with conception usually  result  from impaired  produc-
tion of the sperm or egg.  The- formation of  sperm (speraatogene-
sis) is continuous in the male and requires  a  series of steps.
Chemicals that interfere with  these steps may  prevent sperm  pro-
duction and cause sterility, reduce sperm production, or result
in abnormal sperm that have  reduced capacity to  fertilize.   Al-
though in mammals all eggs are formed before birth,  their  final
maturation occurs in cycles  after  puberty.   Chemicals,  e.g.,
contraceptives, can impede this process.  Mature sperm  and egg/
as well as proper biochemical  and  physiological  conditions within
the body, are required for fertilization.


                             -43-

-------
    Viability of the conceptus depends on a series of steps,  in-
eluding implantation and development of the asmiotic sac and
placenta.  Death of the conceptus, whether at the early embryonic
stage or later fetal stage, can be caused by a variety of  factors
including chemicals.  Such chemicals are labeled •embryotoxic"
and "fetotoxic," respectively.

    Chemicals that cause defects in development and result in
abnormal offspring are called "teratogens.•  Defects range from
abnormal skeletal or muscle structure and mental retardation, to
metabolic malfunctions, to subtle malfunctions that may cot be
noticed during a normal life.

    Functionally, for the developing mammal to be exposed, the
chemical must pass through two barriers:  the mother and the
placenta.  If a given dose of a compound is sufficiently toxic to
kill the mother, resultant toxic effects on the offspring  will
not be observed.  Although this statement may seem trivial, its
converse is an important principle in teratogenesis.  The  more
dangerous teratogens are those which affect the, developing organ-
ism at concentrations that are significantly lower than those
that affect the adult mother.

    Although.the placenta was once"thought to be a rather strong
barrier?- many chemicals have been found to cross to the con-
ceptus.  -Depending on the compound, the final concentration may
be higher-,iff the mother, higher in the conceptus, or equal in
mother and conceptus.  Moreover, the placenta is not inert but is
capable of metabolizing some chemicals into either more or less
toxic substances.  Metabolism may also affect the flow of  com-
pound across the placenta.

    Timing has two critical aspects in teratogenesis:  timing of
the dose during development and parallel timing of developing
systems.  Time of exposure to the potential teratogen may  not
only determine which developing system is affected but also
whether the compound will have any effect at all.  Tor each de-
veloping system there is a critical period, usually between three
and twelve weeks in the human, during which the system is  parti-
cularly sensitive to chemically induced abnormal development.
Although terata may form after this period, the abnormalities are
usually less severe.

    The secdnd aspect of timing involves the relative rate of
development of each of the organ systems.  To produce a well-
formed offspring, development must be well orchestrated.  As with
a symphony, the pace must be parallel in all sections.  Nerves
cannot attach to muscles that are not present; cleft palate in
laboratory animals is frequently caused by events occurring out
                                -44-

-------
of sequence.  If all the developing systems were equally re-
tarded, the result might be an immature, but not malformed fetus.
LONGS

    The major function of the lungs is to exchange oxygen and
carbon dioxide between blood and air.  This same mechanism can
facilitate entry and exit of other compounds from the body.  In
addition, the lungs have the ability to alter some chemicals
metabolically.  Damage to the lung can range from irritation and
constriction, to cell death (necrosis), edema, or fibrosis, to
cancer.

    The air not only contains a variety of gases but also small
suspended particulates and liquid aerosols.  The fate and, there-
fore, potential to cause damage, for each physical state depends
on the size and composition of the inhaled substance.  An analogy
is often drawn between the airways of the respiratory passages
and the structure of a tree.  Zn both, the starting point has a
large diameter and branches into more numerous but increasingly
smaller appendages.  Given the size of the passage and the fact
that large particles fall out of suspension faster, larger in-
baled particulates and droplets will generally deposit in the
upper .respiratory tract.  Deposition is also affected by the
breathing pattern—for example, how fast and how deep.

    The lung contains other mechanisms for handling inhaled sub-
stances including secretions, the mucociliary escalator, and
macrophages.  Secretions, including mucus, can facilitate trans-
port of compounds across the lungs, between the air and blood.
The mucociliary escalator consists of mucus and hairlixe projec-
tions in the upper respiratory passages.  The latter move so that.
particles that have been deposited are transported up the passage
until they can be swallowed.  Substances that either affect the*
nucus or inhibit the cilia movement can impair this process.
Macrophages are a type of mobile cell that can engulf particles .

    Lungs facilitate exchange in both directions between air and
blood} thus, they can be equally efficient in absorption or ex*
cretion from the body.  Whether a given substance is concentrated
in the blood or in the lung air or is at equal concentrations on
both sides depends on several factors, including its solubility
in water and ability to be bound to proteins in the blood.  Fur-
thermore, lungs are able to metabolize some chemicals.  These
changes may alter the chemical properties and, therefore, the
transport of the chemical.
                            -45-

-------
    Chemicals that irritate the lung can  lead to  discomfort.
Although the effects of exposure to irritants are usually  revers-
ible, chronic exposure nay lead to permanent cell damage.   The
normal, necessary exchange of gases across the  lung  can  be im-
paired by compounds that constrict the respiratory passages,
affect secretions or other normal functions, or physically remain
in the lung.  Substances that cause necrosis, edema  (excessive
fluid retention), or fibrosis (a change in cell type and composi-
tion) will impair lung function.  Exposure to some substances,
such as cigarette smoke, asbestos, and arsenic, can  lead to im-
paired lung function and cancer.
SKIN

    Skin is a barrier between the internal organism  and  the  ex-
ternal environment.  It prevents loss of body fluids,  regulates
body temperature, and prevents entry of many substances.   How-
ever, the skin is a route of entry for some toxicants.   Dermal
toxicants can cause irritation, senaitiiation, pigmentation
changes, chloracne, ulcerations, and cancer.
                                                                <
    The skin can also be a major route of entry for  other  sub-
stances—for example, some pesticides and solvents.  Moreover,
abrasions or cuts on the skin can compromise the barrier.  Com-
pounds that are absosbed through the skin may affect other
systems~-rfcdr;example, organophosphate pesticides that  affect  the
nervous system.  Similarly, compounds that enter by  other  routes
may affect the skin—for example, the oral ingestion of  arsenic
causes dermal changes.

    Irritation, rashes, and itching are common toxic reactions  to
dermal exposures.  Chemical sensitizers may cause an allergic
reaction that becomes more severe with continued exposure  to
light.  Polliculitis (damage to the hair follicles)  and  acne  are
other common akin disorders.  Chloracne is a particular  form  of
acne that is often caused by exposure to chlorinated hydrocar-
bons.  Compounds can change skin pigmentation.  Skin keratoses
(hardening or scaling) or ulcers are additional toxic  responses.
Skin cancer may be caused by dermal contact with some  agents  or
systemic administration of others.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

     The major function of  the  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  is
communication.  Control of  reflexes, movement, sensory  informa-
tion,  autonomic functions  (e.g.,  breathing), and  intelligence  are
                               -46-

-------
controlled by the CNS.  These functions can be impaired by toxi-
cants.  Damage to the nervoua system can occur in the brain or
other nerve cell bodies, to nerve processes that extend through
the body, to the myelin sheaths that cover these processes, and
at the nerve-nerve or nerve-muscle junctions.  Damage to  nerve
cell functions are often called "neuropathies."

    As in other cells, damage to the cell body of a neuron  (nerve
cell) can result in impaired function or death.  The brain  is
partially protected by the blood-brain barrier.  Like other phy-
siological barriers, this one has proven more permeable than
originally thought, although it does blocJc or reduce the  passage
of some substances to the brain.  Zn contrast, certain substan-
ces, such as organic mercury, have been shown to concentrate in
the CNS.

    Axons are long processes that conduct impulses from the nerve
cell body; they can span much of the length of an animal.  Sever-
ing the axon can destroy transmission of signals along the nerve.
Because electrical signals are transmitted by charged elements
(ions), chemicals that change the permeability of the cell mem-
brane to ions can also impair transmission of the signal.

    Sty el in is the insulating cover of axons.  Special cells,
called Schwann cells, form myelin by wrapping themselves  in many
layoff* around the axpns.  Chemicals can either destroy the myelin
or decrease its amount, both of which decrease the insulation and
impatf signal transmission.  Furthermore, demyelination of nerves
can cause a degeneration of the axon.  These effects take time to
occur, even if damage is caused by a single exposure.  Thus, the
effect may be delayed and not immediately associated with the
exposure.

    Transmission of signals between nerves or from a nerve to a
muscle occurs across a space or junction.  Chemical compounds
that are stored in vesicles at the nerve endings carry the signal
across the junctions.  Exposure to chemicals may accelerate or
inhibit release of these vesicles, mimic the compounds that are
released from the vesicles, or block the receptors that react to
release of the compounds.  Any of these responses will distort
the signal.

    Subjective or behavior neurological toxicology may be the
•ost difficult toxicological effects to assess.  While generally
accepted that exposure to some chemicals can cause headaches,
fatigue, or irritability, it is difficult to determine whether
such symptoms are caused by chemical exposure/ laex of sleep,
depression, or other factors.  Although these symptoms may be
•ild and difficult to assess, they are frequently an early warn-
ing of exposure to a toxicant.
                            -47-

-------
    Behavioral changes are often caused by damage to the  nervous
system.  Zn laboratory animals, such damage may be as precise  and
fatal as failure of pups to nurse.  Mental retardation and  learn-
ing disabilities are other measurable behavioral changes.   Chemi-
cal alteration of behavior is the basis for psychological drug
therapy.  Thus, although they are difficult to assess, behavioral
changes should not be ignored.
BLOOD

    Transport of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other materials  is
'the major function of blood.  The hematopoietic system, which
includes organs and tissues that produce, transport, and  filter
blood, interacts with the cells of all other systems.  Toxicity
can occur to developing blood cells, existing cells, or the hema-
topoietic organs.

    Zn the human being and other mammals, blood cells are formed
in bone marrow; the three major types of blood dells are formed
by branches from a common precursor cell.  Red blood cells con-<
tain hempglobin and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide,  white
blood cells function as part of the immune system.  Platelets are
necessary tor blood clotting.  Chemicals toxic to bone marrow can
affect blood formation.  Depending on the stage and cell affect-
ed, any_ or all of the major blood cells may be decreased in num-
ber.  Abirbrmal increases in production of certain blood cells are
also possible, as in leukemia (excess white cells).

    Blood plasma contains a number of proteins, ions, and other
compounds.  Changes in the chemical composition of blood may
indicate a toxic response.  Furthermore, some chemicals bind  to
plasma proteins.  Changes in plasma protein composition could
affect the effective concentration of a toxicant.

    The normal function of the hemoglobin in circulating red
blood cells is critical to the transport of oxygen to and carbon
dioxide from all cells in the body.  Reduced oxygen supply can be
very detrimentali the effects resulting from oxygen deprivation
vary with the site of action.  Chemicals can affect hemoglobin by
chemically oxidizing the heme group (causing methemoglobin) or by
denaturing the hemoglobin (which may lead to the formation of
Beinz bodies).

    Two other hematopoietic organs that may be affected are the
spleen and heart.  The former removes old or damaged red blood  '
cells  from circulation.  The rate and efficiency of the heart's
pumping action can be altered by many causes.  Chemicals that
                               -48-

-------
constrict or dilate the blood vesicles can also affect circu-
latory function.
IMMUNE SYSTEM

    Recognition and protection against foreign substances  in the
body is handled by the immune system.  Rapid advances are  being
made in immunology research; therefore, current knowledge  may
soon be obsolete.  Three types of cells (macrophages, B lympho-
cytes, and T lymphocytes) are part of the body's immune response
These cells interact at the peripheral lymphoid organs (lymph
nodes, spleen, and tonsils).  Exposure to chemicals may activate
or supress the immune system.

    The cells involved in the immune system are formed in  bone
marrow; hence, chemicals that affect bone marrow may impair im-
mune function.  One type of cell engulfs foreign matter, especi-
ally bacterial and viruses, by phagocytosis.  Another type pro-
duces the five classes of antibodies.  A third type produces
polypeptides, such as interferon, that are important for some
immune responses; this type of cell is also involved in cell*
mediated immunity, such as contact dermatitis, and may partially
regulate the function of antibody-producing cells.

    Cfiemicals may stimulate immune responses by several mecha-
nisms 'Including acting as allergens or by stimulating production
of iofcerftron.  Chemicals may also suppress immune response; im-
•unosuppressants result in an increased susceptibility to  infec-
tion and may result in an increased susceptibility to some forms
of cancer.
GENETIC TOXICOLOGY

    The integrity of genetic material (DKA) in all cells is crit-
ical to cell function and may be affected by some toxic agents.
Damage may take several forms:  alteration in the chemical compo-
sition of DNA, change in the physical structure of DNA, or addi-
tion or deletion of chromosomes.  Effects of genetic toxicity can
range from no observable effect to cancer.  Genetic toxicity has
become a popular endpoint for toxicity testing because test re-
sults can be obtained relatively rapidly and inexpensively.

    Genetic damage can occur by many mechanisms; the results are
generally classified in three groups:  mutations, clastogenic
events, and aneuploidy.  Mutagens are substances that change the
                            -49-

-------
chemical structure of ONA.  Since DNA is "read" to provide infor-
mation necessary for cell function and proliferation, mutations
may cause a misreading, leading to cell damage.  Clastogens cause
a break in one or more strands of DNA and a physical rearrange-
ment of its parts.  Depending on where the break occurs, clasto-
gens may affect cell proliferation or the production of cell
proteins.  Aneuploidy is an addition or deletion of the number  of
chromosomes; a commonly known aneuploidy is Down's syndrome
(Mongolism) in which there is an extra chromosome.  Aneuploidy  is
often caused by chemicals that Affect cell division.

    Genetic toxicology is often considered with carcinogenic!ty
since many carcinogens are mutagens and testing for mutagenicity
is easier than testing for carcinogenicity.  Genetic toxicants,
however, can have many effects.  Much of the DNA in cells is
quiescent.  Since skin cells do not produce hemoglobin, there
will be little damage if instructions for producing hemoglobin
are damaged in a skin cell.  Such events are called silent muta-
tions.  Genetic damage can alter cell proteins and, therefore,
normal functioning of cells.  Improper cell function may lead to
cell death or cancer.  Finally, if the damage is ia the reproduc-
tive system, genetic toxicants can cause reproductive failure or
abnormal offspring.

    A variety of genetic toxicology tests have been developed in
recent years.  Many are performed in vitro (outside the whole
animal—e^g., the Ames mutagenicity assay) and use cells grown in
liquidst some are performed in vivo (within the animal).  These
tests are-of ten referred to as short-term testing and require
less time, and therefore, less money.  Typically, short-term
tests take days to months as contrasted with several years re-
quired for carcinogenicity testing.

DATA PERTINENT TO THE PREDICTION

        OF GROUNDWATER FLOW
  •  PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK

     -  Hydrogeologic map showing areal
       extent and boundaries of aquifer
     -  Topographic map showing surface-
       water bodies
     -  Water-table, bedrock-configuration,
       and saturated-thickness maps
     -  Hydraulic conductivity map showing
       aquifer and boundaries
     -  Hydraulic conductivity and specific
       storage map of confining bed
     -  Map showing variation in storage
       coefficient of aquifer
     -  Relation of stream and aquifer
       (hydraulic connection)
   • STRESSES ON SYSTEM

     - Type and extent of recharge areas
       (Irrigated areas, recharge basins,
       recharge wells, impoundments,
       •pills, tank leaks, etc.)
     - Surface-water diversions
     - Groundwater pumpage (distributed
       In time and space)
     - Stream flow (distributed in time and
       space)
     - Precipitation and evapotranspiration

  • OBSERVABLE RESPONSES

    - Water levels as a function of time
      and position

  • OTHER FACTORS

    - Economic information about water
      supply
    - Legal and administrative rules
    - Environmental factors
    - Planned changes In water and land use

                                        • no subsurface characterization technique provides
                                          perfect Information; use several techniques In
                                          combination
• determine data thresholds (phased approach) for
  remedial decisions; decisions will have
  uncertainty; importance of monitoring


• presented general data requirements and
  characterization techniques; each application of
  techniques Is unique and stte specific


• data Interpretation Is just as importnat as data
  collection; need to understand data analysis and
  why data are collected

                         FRACTURED  MEDIA SUMMARY
                     heterogeneity is important to characterize, but Is
                     especially important In karst and fractured media
                     characterization techniques are somewhat limited:
                     coring, aquifer tests, tracer tests, geophysical
                     tools, and fracture trace analysis


                     difficult to characterize and predict behavior:
                     equivalent porous media, discrete fractures, dual
                     porosity, and stochastic approach
                                            -49-

    SIWHARY OF METHODS TO HEASURE  UNSATURATED HYDRAULIC-CONDUCTIVITY
                   VALUES IN THE FIELD AND LABORATORY
Method
Constant-Hetd
Borehole
Infi1tration
                         Application
Field nethod in open or
partially cased borehole.
Most cannonly used method.
Includes a relatively large
volume of porous media in
test.
                                   Reference
Bouwer (1978);
Stephens and Neunan
(19824,b.c);
Amoozegar and
WarricK (1986)
Guelph              Field method in open,
Permeameter         small-diameter borehole (>5
                    cm).  Relatively fast
                    method (5 to 60 unutes)
                    requiring small volume of
                    •ater.   K,, K(*) and
                    sorptivity are measured
                    simultaneously.  Many
                    boreholes and tests may be
                    required to fully represent
                    heterogeneities of porous
                    media.
                                Reynolds and El rick
                                (1986)
Air-Entry           Field method.  Test per-
Peraeameter         formed in cylinder which is
                    driven into porous media.
                    Small volume of material
                    tested; hence, many tests
                    may be needed.  Fast,
                    simple method requiring
                    little water (-10 L).
                                Bouwer (1966)
Instantaneous
Profile
Field or lab method.  Field
method measures vertical
*(»,») during drainage.
Measurement of moisture
content and hydraulic held
needs to be rapid and non-
destructive to sample.
Commonly used method,
reasonably accurate.
Boumi, Baker, and
Veneman (1974);
Klute and Oirksen,
(1986)
Crust-Imposed
Steady Flux
Field method.  Measures
vertical K(*) during
wetting portion of
hysteresis loop.  Labor and
time intensive.
Green. Ahuja, and
Chong  (1986)
Sprinkler-
Imposed Steady
Flux
Field method.  Larger
sample area than  for crust
method.  Useful only for
relatively high moisture
contents.
Green. Ahuja, and
Chong  (1986)
 Parameter
 Identification
Results  of one  field  or  lab
test ire  used by  a
numerical approximation
method to develop K(f),
K(»), and »(»)  over a wide
range of  » and  ».
Relatively fast method;
however,  unique solutions
ire not  usually attained.
 Zachmann  et  al.
 (198U.6.  1982);
 Kool  et al.  (1985)
 Empirical
 Equations
 Each  empirical  equation has
 Its own  application  based
 upon  the assumptions of the
 equation.   Relatively fast
 technique.
 Brooks-Corey
 (1964);
 van Genuchten
 (1980);
 Nualem (1986)
                                    -56-

  Used  for measuring soil
  salinity  in  situ. Basically
  the method  consists of
  measuring  soil electrical
  conductivity using the
  Wenner  four probe array
  The apparent bulk soil
  conductivity is related to
  the conductivity  of the
  saturated  extract  using
  calibration relationships.
 The EC (electncaJ conduc-

         GOAL
 Establishment of nonpumping
 water level.
 Removal or isolation of stagnant
 HjO which would otherwise bias
 representative sample.
 Collection of samples at land
 surface or in well-bore with
 minimal disturbance of sample
 chemistry.
 Filtration permits determination of
 soluble constituents and is a
 form of preservation. It should be
 done in the  field as soon as
 possible after collection.

 Reid analyses of samples will
 effectively avoid bias in
 determinations of parameters/
 constituents which do not store
 well: e.g., gases, alkalinity, pH.
 These blanks and standards will
 permit the correction of analytical
 results for changes which  may
 occur after sample collection:
 preservation, storage,  and
 transport

Refrigeration and protection of
samples  should minimize the
chemical alteration of samples
prior to analysis.
     RECOMMENDATIONS
 Measure the water level to  ±0.3
 cm (±0.01 ft).'
 Pump water until well purging
 parameters (e.g., pH, T, Q-1. Eh)
 stabilize to  ±10% over at least
 two successive well  volumes
 pumped.
 Pumping rates should be limited
 to —100 mL/min for volatile
 organics and gas-sensitive
 parameters.
 Filter: Trace metals, inorganic
 anions/cations, alkalinity.
 Do not filter: TOC, TOX, volatile
 organic compound samples. Filter
 other organic compound samples
 only when  required.
 Samples  for determinations of
 gases, alkalinity and  pH should
 be analyzed in the field if at all
 possible.

 At least one blank and one
 standard for each sensitive
 parameter should be made up in
 the field on each day of
 sampling. Spiked samples are
ateo recommended for good QA/
QC.
Observe maximum sample
holding or storage periods
recommended by the Agency.
Documentation of actual holding
periods should be carefully
performed.

Reinhold A. Rasmussen
Reinhold A. Rasmussen is Professor of Air Chemistry and Director of the Institute of Atmospheric
Sciences (IAS) at the Oregon Graduate  Center, Beaverton, Oregon.   He  is also President of
Biospherics Research Corporation.

Dr. Rasmussen has pioneered atmospheric trace gas  measurements that  are now implicated in the
issues of Global Change. His laboratory has provided the primary atmospheric measurements since
1975 on the year-by-year increase in the ozone layer-destroying chlorine-containing CFC's.  Recently
his laboratory demonstrated that man-made CFC's have now exceeded the natural levels of chlorine-
containing gases, which are at 600 pptv. Dr.  Rasmussen's first air chemisty work, in 1965, was as a
botanist when he discovered that isoprene was released form certain plants to the atmosphere and,
in conjunction with the terpenes, in quantities that exceeded man-made sources,  both  within the
U.S.A. and globally. This led to President Reagan's quip in 1980 that trees were th chief culprit in'
the air pollution hydrocarbon emissions.
