The Effect of Soil Moisture on the Ability to Detect TNT Pairs from the Sand Layer in Order to Prevent Environmental Pollution and Groundwater

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of sand bed moisture on TNT transport from under the sand layer. The MO-2M explosive vapor detector was used, the detection mechanism of which is based on the FAIMS method. In addition, it was determined after what time the detector alarm appears...

description The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of sand bed moisture on TNT transport from under the sand layer. The MO-2M explosive vapor detector was used, the detection mechanism of which is based on the FAIMS method. In addition, it was determined after what time the detector alarm appears, signaling the presence of TNT vapors, and how it affects the thickness of the sand layer. The performed work allowed us to assess the suitability and possibly adapt the MO-2M detector to detect non-metal mines, which will help develop new application possibilities for this device. These tests can also be used to eliminate environmental contamination resulting from the deposition of explosives in the ground and the migration of harmful compounds to groundwater.
