DAIMON project has worked out a set of state-of-art, time and cost-saving methodologies for the detection,
impact analysis and monitoring of dumped munitions:

1. Methods for munitions detection’ and identification
2. Chemical methods for detecting warfare agents (parent compounds and degradation products) in water, sediments and biota 
3. Biological methods for detecting effects of toxic warfare agents from chemical and conventional munitions in marine organisms (vertebrates, invertebrates)
4. Guidelines for additional measurements e.g. addressing habitat condition
5. Guidelines for data analysis and assessment

They are widely acknowledged in the international scientific community and already applied by members of the DAIMON network.
