Phytoremediation and Plant Metabolism of Explosives and Nitroaromatic Compounds
Abstract
The development of methods to remediate soils and groundwaters contaminated with 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), octohydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazocine (HMX), and related explosivemanufacturing byproducts has been an intense research interest for several decades. As discussed in other chapters, the ability of microorganisms to metabolize explosives has been studied extensively, although complete biomineralization of TNT has not been observed.
