Distribution and mobility of lead (Pb), antimony (Sb) and copper (Cu) from ammunition residues on shooting ranges for small arms located on mires
Mariussen, Espen; Johnsen, Ida Vaa; Strømseng, Arnljot Einride (2017)An environmental survey was performed on shooting ranges for small arms located on minerotrophic mires. The highest mean concentrations of Pb (13 g/kg), Cu (5.2 g/kg), Zn (1.1 g/kg), and Sb (0.83 g/kg) in the top soil were ... -
Selective adsorption of lead, copper and antimony in runoff water from a small arms shooting range with a combination of charcoal and iron hydroxide
Mariussen, Espen; Johnsen, Ida Vaa; Strømseng, Arnljot Einride (2015)Metals and metalloids from ammunition residues at small arms shooting ranges leach into the soil and surrounding watercourses and may pose a threat to exposed wildlife and humans. To reduce the potential impact of heavy ... -
