Abstract: Insensitive munitions compounds (IMCs), such as 2,4‐dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 3‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one (NTO), are replacing conventional explosives in munitions formulations. Manufacture and use of IMCs generate waste streams in manufacturing plants and load/assemble/pack facilities. There is a… read more here.

Abstract: Plants growing in the soils at military ranges and surrounding locations are exposed, and potentially able to uptake, munitions compounds (MCs). The extent to which a compound is transferred from the environment into organisms such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.7b02572
Abstract: A partitioning-based model is presented to estimate the bioconcentration of five munitions compounds and two munition-like compounds in grasses. The model uses polyparameter linear free energy relationships (pp-LFERs) to estimate the partition coefficients between soil… read more here.
