The system is based on LD50 determination in rats, thus an oral solid agent with an LD50 at 5 mg or less/kg bodyweight is Class Ia, at 5–50 mg/kg is Class Ib, LD50 at 50–2000 mg/kg is Class II, and at LD50 at the concentration more than 2000 mg/kg is classified as Class III. Values may differ for liquid oral agents and dermal agents. [1]
2,4-Dinitrotoluene (DNT) or dinitro is an organic compound with the formula C 7 H 6 N 2 O 4. This pale yellow crystalline solid is well known as a precursor to trinitrotoluene (TNT) but is mainly produced as a precursor to toluene diisocyanate .
Picric acid is an organic compound with the formula (O 2 N) 3 C 6 H 2 OH. Its IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP).The name "picric" comes from Greek: πικρός (pikros), meaning "bitter", due to its bitter taste.
To enable efficient transportation and storage, and , to allow the transportation of some explosives together, a further classification system is used called compatibility groups (CGs). Compatibility groups helps to group explosives of a similar type together, or allow the transportation of combinations that have been deemed safe.
2,4-Dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP or simply DNP) is an organic compound with the formula HOC 6 H 3 (NO 2) 2. It has been used in explosives manufacturing and as a pesticide and herbicide. In humans, DNP causes dose-dependent mitochondrial uncoupling , causing the rapid loss of ATP as heat and leading to uncontrolled hyperthermia —up to 44 °C (111 ...
For their production, highly explosive materials like 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine were used; to reduce the plant's workers' chemical exposure to these materials, RDX and TNT residues that collected on the floor were washed away with water routinely. The water flowed outside into unlined ditches contaminated ...
TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.
2,4-Diaminotoluene is an aromatic organic compound with the formula C 6 H 3 (NH 2) 2 CH 3. It is one isomer of six with this formula. It is a white solid, although ...
