Dissertation
Formation of Bis(hydroxyalkyl)N-nitrosamines as products of the nitrosation of spermidine

Creator:

Hotchkiss, Joseph H.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to characterize the nonvolatile, water soluble, bis(hydroxyalkyl)N-nitrosamines produced from the reaction of spermidine and nitrite. The biologically occurring polyamine spermidine was reacted with nitrite in the presence of acid. The reaction products were isolated and converted to trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives. The derivatized products were...

Masters Thesis
Anaerobic biodegradation of the cyclic nitramines, RDX and HMX, by ovine ruminal microbes

Creator:

Eaton, Hillary L.

Abstract:

Cyclic nitramines released into all environmental compartments through anthropogenic activities are toxic and possibly carcinogenic and mutagenic. Soils on military ranges, located throughout the world in various climatic regions and close to human activities, are especially susceptible to cyclic nitramine contamination. The properties of soils on military ranges will directly...
