Abstract

The article focuses on investigating the sources and environmental fate of halomethoxybenzenes (HMBs), compounds with attributes of persistence and potential for long-range transport, bioaccumulation, and toxic effects. It is discussed that the study reveals the widespread atmospheric dispersal of HMBs, emphasizing their continent-scale transport primarily through evaporation from water sources, shedding light on their origins and environmental pathways.
