The NO3 radical-mediated liquid phase of nitration of phenols with nitrogen dioxide

Article Abstract:

Researchers from the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy studied the origin of nitrophenols from air and rainwater samples and discovered that the compounds are formed from the reaction of phenols with ozone and nitrogen dioxide.

Occurence of estrogenic nonylphenols in the urban and coastal atmosphere of the lower Hudson River estuary

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Rutgers University, NJ, documented for the first the presence of nonylphenols in the atmosphere arising from the biodegradation of nonylphenol polyethoxylates, a popular household surfactant, in water. The byproduct is an estrogenic nonylphenol, evaporating from the estuarine waters to the coastal atmosphere and is found in high concentrations from New York to New Jersey.
