2-Amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2A-DNT) is a metabolite of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) which is present in the soil at numerous U.S. Army installations as the result of TNT manufacture or training activities. Although many avian species are known to inhabit areas where 2A-DNT has been found in the environment, no published studies of the effects of 2A-DNT exposure in birds are available. In this study, we conducted an evaluation of the oral toxicity of 2A-DNT in a representative ground foraging species of management concern, the northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Subacute (14 days) and subchronic (60 days) oral gavage exposure studies were conducted following determination of the median acute lethal dose (
