ERDEC contribution to the 1993 international treaty verification round robin exercise 4. Final report
In March 1993, the U.S. Army Edgewood Research, Development and Engineering Center along with 16 other laboratories, participated in the 4th International Treaty Verification Round Robin Exercise. The objective of the exercise was to evaluate the current recommended operating procedures for the analysis of scheduled compounds in soil and water matrices. Eleven spiked samples and blanks resulting from three different types of soil and one source of water were received. Analytical methods used to analyze the samples were GC/FID/FPD, GC/MS (EI and methane CI) , NMR (1H, 13C, and 31P), and HPLC/ion chromatography. Four schedule 2 degradation products of VX and BZ (methylphosphonic acid, 2-diisopropylamino-ethanol, 3-quinuclidinol, and benzilic acid) were unambiguously identified and quantitated in the samples. This report summarizes the analytical methodology used in this round robin and the results obtained. Round robin, Treaty verification, Water and soil samples.
