Abstract:Sunlight irradiation induces formation of reactive oxygen
species (superoxide, hydroperoxyl radical, singlet oxygen, etc.),
which readily take part in degradation of environmental pollutants.
Being a primary ingredient in a suite of insensitive munition formulations,
NTO (5-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-3-one) can be released onto training range
soils and reduced to ATO (5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-one) by soil bacteria
or iron-contained minerals. ATO can be dissolved in surface water
and groundwater due to its good water s… Show more
