Military range management has become extremely important in recent years, in order to comply with the limitations imposed by national and international environmental regulations. In this regard, soil, vegetation and ground water samples from a testing facility belonging to the Romanian Ministry of National Defense were analyzed for contamination with metals and energetic materials. The tests confirmed the presence of contaminants as energetic materials and heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Zn), with a heterogeneous distribution on the range and concentrated in the impact and firing line areas.
