## Abstract The toxicity of the explosives 2,4,6โtrinitrotoluene (TNT); hexahydroโ1,3,5โtrinitroโ1,3,5โtriazine (royal demolition explosive [RDX]); and octahydroโ1,3,5,7โtetranitroโ1,3,5,7โtetrazocine (highโmelting explosive [HMX]), was evaluated in spiked sediment with two freshwater invertebrates
Two species of freshwater benthic invertebrates, Chironomus tentans and Lumbriculus variegatus, were exposed to three dietary concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), and toxicity and bioaccumulation were determined. No toxic effects were observed in full life cycle tests with e
