Exposures to trinitrotoluene and
dinitrotoluene, used in explosives and munitions, also produce elevated levels of TDA in urine and blood (ECHA 2013).
The modified tubes detected five gases, two of which bare tubes can't sense: the explosive
dinitrotoluene and a derivative of the poison sarin.
Examples of plasticizers include nitroglycerine, dibutyl phthalate,
dinitrotoluene, ethyl centralite, and triacetin.
Having on hand some 10 or 11 tons of
dinitrotoluene, he determined to trinitrate it.
Burlage and his colleagues at Oak Ridge have engineered several strains of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida to glow with visible or fluorescent light when they scavenge TNT and
dinitrotoluene, a related chemical (SN: 11/9/96, p.
Our goal was to determine the patient's potential exposure to chemicals known to affect male fertility, namely, dibromochloropropane (DBCP), lead, boron, cadmium, carbaryl, kepone, methyl mercury, toluene, toluenediamine, and
dinitrotoluene. We conducted environmental monitoring using both active and passive sampling to estimate the possible exposure levels of solvents in periods when the ventilation system was shut down and during normal ventilation operation.
