Common name:	Dinitrotoluene
Short description:	Dinitrotoluene is a highly reactive chemical used in the production of munitions and explosives.
Layman's explanation:	DNT is frequently used in the manufacture of explosives as a gelatinizing and waterproofing agent or as an intermediate in the production of polyurethane foams for the bedding and furniture industry. DNT is also used as an intermediate in the manufacturing of certain dyes. In a purified form, DNT may also be used in creating smokeless gunpowders. DNT does not persist in the environment, since it is easily degraded by sunlight or by bacteria. This molecule is also combustible and will burn, emitting poisonous, toxic gases, but will not spontaneously ignite. DNT may also be absorbed by the skin upon physical contact.
