The CII recognized that gender neutral Physical fitness standards could be perceived as a potential barrier for females as there are still many assumptions about gender and performance on the physically demanding aspect of these trades.

  • Residual Dinitrotoluenes from Open Burning of Gun Propellant
    Chapter 21 Residual Dinitrotoluenes from Open Burning of Gun Propellant Emmanuela Diaz,* Sylvie Brochu, Isabelle Poulin, Dominic Faucher, André Marois, and Annie Gagnon Energetic Materials Section, Defence Research and Development Canada-Valcartier, 2459 Pie-XI Blvd North, Quebec (Qc) G3J 1X5, Canada *[email protected] Following military live fire artillery training, excess propellant bags are routinely open-burned at the firing site. Combustion of these propellants are typically incomplete under these conditions in the field, resulting in residues deposited on the soil surface, such as nitroglycerine and dinitrotoluenes. To better assess the amount of contaminants released during this process, burning tests were conducted with propellant bags from 105- and 155-mm munitions used for howitzer guns. Three different “activities” or burning tests were performed to achieve this study, which are described here. Residual 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNTs) were analysed in all collected samples. Downloaded by Brian Salvatore on January 4, 2015 | http://pubs.acs.org Publication Date (Web): November 21, 2011 | doi: 10.1021/bk-2011-1069.ch021 Introduction At the end of most military exercises involving large caliber ammunition, such as 105- and 155-mm howitzers, trainees are usually left with a surplus quantity of unused gun propellant. Propellant charges for various large caliber ammunition are supplied in bags of known propellant quantity, from which a certain number are chosen for selective targeting at various distances. Propellant bags not used during the training exercise are destroyed on-site by open burning. For example, the firing of 30,000 rounds of 105-mm ammunition results in the burning of approximately 20,000 kg of single base propellant.
