Today there are people in many areas that are being exposed to disease causing chemicals.
As we live in a world full of various chemicals, we have now begun to see that sometimes our exposure to these substances can put everyday ordinary people at risk for disease, injury, or even death. This project is of great interest to the larger scientific community, my mentor, and myself because previous experiments have shown that the TNT and DNT compounds are toxic to the liver and the blood. Also, these compounds have been implicated as potential carcinogens. These chemicals are found in the wastewaters of Army Ammunition Plants and have thus contaminated the local soil, surface water, and ground water. To approach the problem, several scientific methods and techniques are used.
