  • Ruminal Biodegradation of Heterocyclic Toxic Compounds

    Creator:
    Tanaree, Dan D.
    Abstract:
    Cyclic nitramines are a class of compounds that include most of the commonly used explosives today. These are among the most common toxicants released into the environment as a result of human activity, generated on military ranges, battlefields, and production sites. Of these, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX) is of particular interest,...

  • 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...
