Abstract: Atmospheric samples were taken at the soil surface above field-emplaced M-15 and M-19 antitank mines and military explosive Composition-B. These samples were analyzed to determine if trace chemicals generated by the explosive material are detectable. Cyclohexanone was positively identified and is attributable to the explosive. Calculations were made, based on-the amount of cyclohexanone found, to approximate its flux rate through the surface.
