Toxicity of Explosives

In addition to the detonation danger, many ordinary explosives and breakdown products are toxic. Dinitrotoluene (DNT), for example, is carcinogenic. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has a [Pg.36]

In truth, the toxic residue from military munitions in drinking water, soil, surface water, and air present a far greater hazard to more people than an accidental detonation on an old range. Toxic substances can also escalate up the food chain rendering that big bass harmful to eat. Many common foods are contaminated with perchlorate because plants were watered from contaminated rivers or wells. [Pg.37]

The toxicity of explosives was described in Vols I-1II and more information has appeared recently as a result of the progress of toxicology and hygiene. Thus the former information needs some additions. An excellent review of the toxic properties of more important explosives was recently given by Rosenblatt ( ]. Some information from this and other sources will be given below. [Pg.675]

Chemical and toxicological testing showed that nonaerated windrow composting can rapidly reduce extractable explosives, extractable mutagenic activity, and leachable toxicity of explosives-contaminated sediments. It is at least as efficient as the best static pile or mechanically stirred composting methods, based on results of other studies conducted at the same site, and thus is an excellent candidate for remediation of explosives-contaminated soils and sediments. [Pg.128]
