The large-scale production and processing of munitions has led to vast environmental pollution by the compounds TNT(2,4,6-trinitrotoluene), RDX(hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) and HMX(octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine). Explosives contain these toxic and mutagenic xenobiotics, which are stable in the environment and recalcitrant to remediation. Certain technologies used thus far (incineration, adsorption, advanced oxidations processes, chemical reduction etc.) have not only been very expensive but also caused additional environmental problems. During recent decades, the most popular technologies have been biotechnological methods, such as phytoremediation, which is relatively cheap, environmentally friendly, and a highly accepted solution by society. The most promising of these technologies is the usage of genetically modified plants, which combines the ability of bacterial genes to detoxify compounds with the phytoremediation benefits of plants. This paper is a review related to the latest and most important achievements in the field of phytoremediation of water and soil contaminated with TNT, RDX and HMX.
大规模的弹药生产和加工导致 TNT（2,4,6-三硝基甲苯）、RDX（六氢-1,3,5-三硝基-1,3,5-三嗪）和 HMX（八氢-1,3,5,7-四硝基-1,3,5,7-四氮杂环辛烷）等化合物造成了巨大的环境污染。爆炸物含有这些有毒和致突变的异生物质，它们在环境中稳定且难以修复。迄今为止使用的某些技术（焚烧、吸附、高级氧化工艺、化学还原等）不仅非常昂贵，而且还造成了额外的环境问题。在最近几十年中，最受欢迎的技术是生物技术方法，例如植物修复，它相对便宜、环保，并且深受社会欢迎。这些技术中最有前途的是使用转基因植物，它结合了细菌基因解毒化合物的能力和植物修复的好处。本文是对受 TNT、RDX 和 HMX 污染的水和土壤的植物修复领域的最新和最重要成就的综述。
