Novel detection technology alerts health risks from TNT metabolites

Oct 09, 2024

Recently, a research group from the Hefei lnstitutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an approach that can facilitate rapid detection of both positive and negative ions of four toxic metabolites derived from 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), allowing for the detection of residual metabolites in the human body and providing valuable health warnings.
