Bodenkontaminationen in Rüstungsaltlasten aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg

The results of the chemical analysis of soil samples from WWI munition plants showed that the most important compounds are dinitrobenzenes, trinitrotoluene and metabolites, and dinitronaphthalenes. The presence of 1,2-dinitrobenzene and 1,3-dinitrobenzene in soil samples shows that, during the production of dinitrobenzenes, in WWI, the raw dinitrobenzene was not washed with sulphite. The results show that the parameter list must be different from the parameter list for the analysis of soil samples from munition plants of WW II.
