On the subject of munitions finds in the North and Baltic Seas. Here: Exit of the "Haithabu" to the ammunition field "Kolberger Heide" off Schönberg.
For the detection of chemical compounds released from ammunition in the water, in the sediment and in biota suitable methods for sampling, analysing explosive and chemical warfare agents and the transformation and decomposition products are available today. Research is being carried out into the development of biomarkers and sensors with bioactive surfaces.
Within the project DAIMON a series of Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) has been developed and was published here: www.daimonproject.com/standard--recommended-operation-procedures.html
