TLDR
Tests of TNT reduction products and metabolites suggest that some TNT metabolites are at least as toxic as TNT and should be considered when evaluating the overall toxicity of TNT-contaminated soil to earthworms.About:

Electrochemical sensors based on magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers: A review
TL;DR: The magnetically susceptible resultant MIPs (MMIPs) allowed a simple and fast elution of the template molecules from MMIPs, are easily and faster collected without filtration, centrifugation or other complex operations and are also faster assembled and removed from the electrode surface by simply using an external magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-vitro approaches for studying blast-induced traumatic brain injury.
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to consider the mechanical phases of bTBI, how these phases are reproduced with in-vitro models, and to review findings from these models to assess how each phase ofbTBI can be examined in more detail.

Common explosives (TNT, RDX, HMX) and their fate in the environment: Emphasizing bioremediation
TL;DR: Critical evaluation has also been made to encompass the recent knowledge and advancement about bioremediation and phytoremediations of explosives (especially TNT, RDX and HMX) along with the molecular mechanisms of biodegradation.

Degradation of high energetic and insensitive munitions compounds by Fe/Cu bimetal reduction.
Agamemnon Koutsospyros,Julius Pavlov,Jacqueline Fawcett,Jacqueline Fawcett,David Strickland,Benjamin Smolinski,Washington Braida +6 more
TL;DR: The study shows that, on laboratory scale, these energetic compounds are easily degraded in solution by suspensions of bimetallic particles (Fe/Ni and Fe/Cu) prepared by electro-less deposition.

Explosives : Fate, dynamics, and ecological impact in terrestrial and marine environments
TL;DR: It is important that energetic research considers the concept of bio availability, including factors influencing soil/sediment aging, desorption of energetic compounds from varying soil and sediment types, methods for modeling/predicting energetic bioavailability, development of biomarkers of energetic exposure or effect, and the impact of bioavailability on ecological risk assessment.

Nitroaromatic Munition Compounds: Environmental Effects and Screening Values
Sylvia S. Talmage,Dennis M. Opresko,C. J. Maxwell,C. J. E. Welsh,F. M. Cretella,P. H. Reno,F. B. Daniel +6 more
TL;DR: Comparing the occurrence, transport, transformation, and toxicity of eight nitroaromatic munition compounds and their degradation products indicates that the white-footed mouse may be more resistant to the toxic effects of chemicals than the laboratory rat and may further indicate the lesser sensitivity of wildlife species to chemical insult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental fate of explosives
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the current understanding of these interactions, identify significant data deficiencies, and briefly discuss the drivers of future research in this area, concluding that factors affecting leaching and transport, microbial degradation, phytotoxicity and plant uptake, and invertebrate and vertebrate toxicity are determinants of ultimate environmental fate and hazard potential.

Microbial Degradation of Explosives and Related Compounds
Thomas Gorontzy,Oliver Drzyzga,M. W. Kahl,D. Bruns-Nagel,J. Breitung,E. von Loew,Karl-Heinz Blotevogel +6 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes information on the biodegradation and biotransformation pathways of several important explosives that may be useful in developing microbiological methods for a safe and economic clean-up of soil and water contaminated with such compounds.

Cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and its metabolites
TL;DR: In vitro cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and several of its degradation products/metabolites were examined, indicating that TNT does not need to be metabolized to exhibit cytot toxicity.
