Summary (2) TNT (nitroaromatics) and nitroamines are susceptible to
environmental transformation. The main reaction paths
are recognized. For fast identification e.g. by using HPLC
methods is possible but standards are required.
Aqueous toxicity of common explosives is well known for
variety of freshwater and marine species. Especially RDX
and TNT is acutely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
Some of energetic compounds metabolites are more
toxic than starting compounds due to the solubility in
body fluids.
Common explosives and it’s metabolites are acutely
(chemical), genetically toxic to water and land species.
