“…Within the soils, recovery percentage was directly related to the initial TNT concentration in amended treatments. Comparable results were found in studies with TNT and related nitroaromatic compounds including 1,3,5‐trinitrobenzene, 2,4‐dinitrotoluene, and 2,6‐dinitrotoluene weathered and aged in natural soils under similar conditions . Abiotic factors that can affect the fate of TNT in soil, including photolysis, moistening and air‐drying cycles, and temperature, were controlled in the present study and similar in all treatments.…”

The authors investigated individual toxicities of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) to the potworm Enchytraeus crypticus using the enchytraeid reproduction test. Studies were designed to generate ecotoxicological benchmarks that can be used for developing ecological soil-screening levels for ecological risk assessments of contaminated soils and to identify and characterize the predominant soil physicochemical parameters that can affect the toxicities of TNT and RDX to E. crypticus. Soils, which had a wide range of physicochemical parameters, included Teller sandy loam, Sassafras sandy loam, Richfield clay loam, Kirkland clay loam, and Webster clay loam. Analyses of quantitative relationships between the toxicological benchmarks for TNT and soil property measurements identified soil organic matter content as the dominant property mitigating TNT toxicity for juvenile production by E. crypticus in freshly amended soil. Both the clay and organic matter contents of the soil modulated reproduction toxicity of TNT that was weathered and aged in soil for 3 mo. Toxicity of RDX for E. crypticus was greater in the coarse-textured sandy loam soils compared with the fine-textured clay loam soils. The present studies revealed alterations in toxicity to E. crypticus after weathering and aging TNT in soil, and these alterations were soil- and endpoint-specific.

“…The results of different studies may be affected by the soil properties (organic matter, clay content, pH), which can influence adsorption of xenobiotics to the soil particles and therefore their bioavailability (Rafiq et al, 2014). Rocheleau et al (2010) found that the toxicity of 2,4-DNT to three terrestrial plant species (alfalfa, barnyard grass, ryegrass) inversely and significantly correlated with the soil organic matter content. Therefore the difference in our results and data of Picka and Friedl may be caused by different types of soil.…”

“…However, predicting bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of new munition compounds is challenging because models currently available do not accurately account for either partitioning of a compound into an organism or degradation. Furthermore, predicting the BCF from soil exposures to soil biota is difficult because soil properties affect the bioavailability of the compound (Dodard et al, 2005;Kuperman et al, 2009Kuperman et al, , 2013Lanno et al, 2004;Rocheleau et al, 2010;Sunahara et al, 2009). This particular challenge can be resolved, in part, by the use of aqueous exposures, thus separating the soil effects from the organism uptake mechanisms when developing empirical data for use in models.…”

Separate toxicity studies were conducted prior to bioconcentration studies using a range of chemical concentrations to establish the sublethal exposure conditions for the earthworms. The objectives of the present studies were to: (1) develop an experimental test system for estimating bioconcentration potentials of new and emerging munition compounds that partition into earthworms, using aqueous exposure media; and (2) apply this experimental model to establish original bioconcentration data for 4-NAN, 3,5-DNoTAME, and 2-M-5-NPYNE.
