HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. A method is described which is used to measure TNT (trinitrotoluene) concentrations in the range 30 x 10--6 g/ml to 6.xx 10--11 g/ml in selected stream waters. The analysis of the explosives TNT RDX (cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine) and teryl in sea water, present in the parts per trillion range, using vapor phase chromatography and the nickel-63 electron capture detector method, is described. The limits of detection for TNT, RDX, and tetryl by this method are in the order of 2, 5 and 20 parts per trillion, respectively.
