The possible reduction pathways of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) by sulfide under simulated anaerobic conditions
To predict the final fate of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and its intermediates in an anaerobic fermentative solution containing reduced sulfur species and to provide a basis for the adoption of remediation methods, we investigated the pathways of TNT (TNT0 = 50 mg/L) reduction by Na2S at 30 ± 1 °C in an acetic acid–sodium bicarbonate buffer. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) was ...

Public health risk assessment: an Egyptian study of secondary lead smelting and associated risks
The purpose of a public health risk assessment is to provide a baseline assessment of the on- and off-site human health risks that can be associated with past activities from secondary smelting of lead. We apply risk assessment methods to the operations of the Awadalla Secondary Lead Smelter (ASLS), which result in soil, dust, air and water pollution. A baseline study is a snapshot of the risks ...

Enhanced Anaerobic Bioremediation of a TCE Source at the Tarheel Army Missile Plant Using EOS
EOS, or emulsified oil substrate, was used to stimulate anaerobic biodegradation of trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) at a former Army-owned manufacturing facility located in the Piedmont area of North Carolina. Previous use of chlorinated solvents at the facility resulted in soil and groundwater impacts. Ten years of active remediation utilizing soil vacuum extraction and air ...
