| Abstrakt: |
Contamination of soil and water with explosives, especially 2,4,6- Trinitrotoluol (TNT), is a widespread problem on military sites and plants producing explosives and ammunition. Because the contaminated areas are often very large, off-site soil treatment technologies are prohibitively expensive (Gerth et al. 2003). Facilities for the treatment of explosive contaminated ground- and surface water have to be operated over decades. Since there is a need for cost-effective new technologies for the remediation of soil and water, biological technologies for the treatment of TNT in both media have been developed and applied. We present an overview of the in situ remediation of a former trickling pond by autochthonous microorganisms, and the treatment of explosive-polluted surface water from a firing range.
