Identifying degradation products responsible for increased toxicity of UV-Degraded insensitive munitions.

Abstract excerpt

Degradation of insensitive munitions (IMs) by ultraviolet (UV) light has become a topic of concern following observations that some UV-degradation products have increased toxicity relative to parent compounds in aquatic organisms. The present investigation focused on the Army's IM formulation, IMX-101, which is composed of three IM constituents: 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), and...
