N2 - The effects on firing tungsten-based ammunition on soil contamination with legacy lead are analyzed. It is observed that Fort Irwin soil shows low Pb leachability which does not appear to be enhanced by tungsten dissolution. The neutral-alkaline pH of the effluent appears to be the main reason of the low Pb leachability. Tungsten mobility appears to be enhanced by the neutral to alkaline pH of the effluent which contains W in the form of colloidal particles and dissolved tungsten.
