Abstract: Solvent-extractable TNT transformation products have been identified in explosive-contaminated soils. Soils from U.S. Army installations were extracted with a variety of solvents (acetonitrile, methanol, acetone and methylene chloride) and the extracts were analyzed by RP-HPLC-UV or GC/MS, or both. The TNT transformation products TNB, TNBA, 2-amino-4,6-DNT and 4-amino-2,6-DNT were generally found in concert with TNT. In additon, dinitroaniline, a reduction product of TNB, was also identified in several soils.
