Thermophilic biotransformations of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene under simulated composting conditions

Year: 1982

Type: article

Abstract: The biotransformations of 14C-labeled 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene by thermophilic microorganisms in a compost system were determined. The reduction products identified in solvent extracts were similar to those identified in mesophilic systems. A significant percentage of the 14C-labeled products were bound to humus fractions.
