The environmental aspects of the fate of anilines and related compounds are examined. They include the ecotoxicological aspects, the physico-chemical and (bio)chemical reactions in the gas phase, aquatic environments, plants and soil. The particularity of this class of substances is the formation of "bound residues" in high quantities, up to 95% in soil within one vegetation period. Some new results on the catalytically induced incorporation of anilines in soil organic matter are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
