AbShCt

Snnptied laboratory and field screening tests for 2,4,6-tnmtrotoluene (TNT) m solI are described along with data supportmg their vahdlty For field screening, an amount of sod (6 g) IS wgorously shaken with 35 ml of methanol Addltron of 2 drops of 10% aqueous sodmm hydroxde to 3 ml of the decantate results m a pmk to purple color, the absorbance at 516 nm IS directly proportlonal to the concentration of the TNT m the soil The detectlon hnnt IS estnnated to be m the range of 4-8 ppm The results of these screemng tests correlate well mth LC results

The response of potential nitrification activity (PNA), nitrogen-fixation activity (NFA), and dehydrogenase activity (DHA) in soil to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was assessed. Two garden soils of contrasting texture (sandy loam vs clay loam) were spiked with TNT (25-1,000 mg TNT/kg). Soil microbial

## Abstract Determining the toxicity of contaminants to soil organisms under field conditions is hampered by site‐specific and temporal factors that modulate contaminant availability. Assessing the pollution‐induced community tolerance (PICT) of indigenous microbial communities integrates these com
