Energetic materials are used across DoD in mission-critical munitions such as projectiles, rockets, missiles, and pyrotechnic devices. DoD must address numerous environmental and occupational safety and health issues associated with energetic materials throughout their life cycle. Ongoing efforts seek to maintain DoD’s ability to complete its mission by developing environmentally friendly alternatives, remediating currently contaminated sites, and evaluating the impacts of energetic materials on humans and the environment. This session provided an overview of current efforts that are assessing the environmental fate, transport, and toxicity of existing and new energetic compounds to ultimately reduce the environmental and human health risks of these materials throughout their life cycle.
