Tetryl exposure: forgotten hazards of antique munitions.

BACKGROUND Older yet still abundant munitions such as tetryl present easily forgotten health hazards and associated needs for worker protection. CASE PRESENTATION Symptoms and findings from 22 workers who were exposed to tetryl are summarized. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the health hazards from exposure to tetryl. Occupational health professionals need to maintain vigilance to protect...

Adsorption of Tetryl on the Surface of Carbon Nanocone: A Theoretical Investigation

 In this paper, the performance of carbon nanocone as an ideal adsorbent and sensing material for tetryl was investigated by density functional theory. For this aim, the structures of tetryl, carbon nanocone and their complexes were optimized geometrically. Afterwards, IR and FMO computations were done on them. The obtained thermodynamic parameters showed the interaction of car...

Methemoglobin formation in human erythrocytes by nitroaromatic explosives.

We have examined the structure-activity relationships in methemoglobin (MetHb) formation by high explosives 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-N-nitramine (tetryl) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl-N-nitraminoethylnitrate (pentryl), and a number of model nitrobenzenes. In lysed human erythrocytes the rate constants of oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb) oxidation increased with an increase in single-el...
