title: Treatment methods for the remediation of nitroaromatic explosives.
abstract: The production and use of nitroaromatic explosives for military operations have resulted in their dissemination into the environment, where their presence in waterways and soil poses an ecological and health hazard. This paper reviews technologies that are available or under investigation to remediate areas contaminated with these compounds.
