Schudoma, D. (2026). Derivation of Environmental Quality Standards for 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene. German Environment Agency. https://doi.org/10.60810/openumwelt-8307
Zusammenfassung englisch
To assess the risks posed by legacy munition contamination, preliminary quality standards for TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) were developed for the protected resources of pelagic communities in freshwater and seawater, for human health via seafood consumption, and for drinking water. The quality standard for the pelagic community (freshwater and seawater) is the "critical quality standard" for deriving the proposed environmental quality standard (EQS).To protect aquatic communities in freshwater and saltwater, an annual average environmental quality standard (AA-EQS) of 0.15 µg/L and a maximum acceptable concentration (MAC-EQS) of 1.8 µg/L are proposed for TNT.

Risk assessment of munition compounds in the German North and Baltic Sea (CONMAR-Impact)
(German Environment Agency, 2025)
The German Environment Agency has conducted tests to determine the ecotoxicity of TNT and its metabolites 2-ADNT and 4-ADNT, as well as other munition compounds (1,3-DNB and 2,6-DNT) by using two marine diatom species (Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Skeletonema marinoi) in accordance with DIN EN ISO 10253 (2016) and derived effect concentrations on this basis.Environmental quality standards (EQS), as applied in the Water Framework Directive and Marine Strategy Framework Directive, were derived for TNT in water and biota. A proposal for monitoring the EQS was made after comparing the EQS with measured environmental concentrations of TNT.
