Abstract

A sensitive gas-chromatographic technique for quantitative determination of 2-6-dinitro-4-aminotoluene, the major known metabolite of trinitrotoluene (T.N.T.), in urine was developed. The sensitivity and accuracy of the new method are superior to those of the previously reported techniques. Levels of 10-4 to 10-3 g/l DNAT were found in urine samples of munitions workers. However, it was impossible to detect by this method one single contact with T.N.T.
