Abstract
An optimized microwave assisted extraction method for determination of trinitrotoluene (TNT) and related compounds in soil is presented. The new enhanced method exhibits improved extraction recovery and precision as well as sample handling time. For the separation and detection gas chromatography coupled to a thermoionic probe was used achieving TNT and dinitrotoluene detection limits per injection at the femtogram level. The generated extraction recovery and precision data are given for spiked and certified soil. Determined TNT and related compounds residues in soil collected from different parts of the world are presented.
