| Synopsis: |
This is a concise assessment of the risks to human health and the environment posed by exposure to 2- and 4-nitrophenol. These isomers are used as intermediates in the synthesis of a number of organophosphorous pesticides and some medical products. Environmental releases are primarily to air, water and soil, and result from diffuse sources, including vehicle traffic and hydrolytic and photolytic degradation of pesticides. Further releases into the hydrosphere and the geosphere are caused by the dry and wet deposition of airborne nitrophenols from the atmosphere. |
