A loam soil from Pennsylvania without a history of exposure to explosives was incubated with 5 g kg-1 of 15N-labeled 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 200 μCi kg-1 of 14C-TNT for 3 days and then amended with compost at a 1:2 soil to compost ratio. The compost was prepared by mixing 40% alfalfa hay, 40% grass hay, 10% spent mushroom compost, and 10% municipal biosolids. The mixture of soil and compost was inoculated with methanogens from cattle manure, amended with glucose and starch, and incubated for 37 days under anaerobic conditions. The anaerobic incubation was followed by 26 days of forced aerobic incubation. At the end of the aerobic phase, most of the radioactivity was associated with organic matter; only 8.7% could be extracted with water and methanol, but no TNT was present in the extracts as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The unextractable radioactivity was associated with humic acid (40.0±1.0%), fulvic acid (14.3±1.4%), and humin (28.2±0.5%). Radioactive materials associated with humic acid and humin were analyzed by solid-state 15N-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry. The NMR spectra indicated that nitro groups of TNT had been reduced to amino groups thatwere subsequently involved in the formation of covalent bonds with soil organic matter. |
