Nitrophenols from exposed soils
TLDR
A homologous series of nitro-alkylphenols has been isolated from the odoriferous oil extracted from rocks, clays, and silicate minerals, which have been exposed to the atmosphere.Abstract:
A homologous series of nitro-alkylphenols has been isolated from the odoriferous oil extracted from rocks, clays, and silicate minerals, which have been exposed to the atmosphere. A relatively large amount of another nitro-hydroxy compound, possibly a derivative of diphenyl, is also present in the oil. The most likely origin of these compounds, or their precursors, is alkylphenols liberated into the atmosphere from plant material.read more

TL;DR: The herbicide trichloroacetic acid (TCA), one of the atmospheric airborne oxidation products of C2-chlorocarbon solvents, was found in conifer needles from five different regions of Finland and seems to correlate with the extent of needle loss of the trees.
