Application

  • Fungicide Metabolism in Wheat: 2,5-Dimethylphenol, a breakdown product of the strobilurin fungicide mandestrobin, was studied for its metabolic pathways in wheat. This research provides insights into the environmental behavior and safety of pesticide residues in agricultural products (Ando et al., 2018).
  • Tropospheric Chemistry of Dimethylphenols: The study on the mass accommodation coefficients and Henry′s law constants of 2,5-dimethylphenol underlines its significant atmospheric reactions, contributing to a better understanding of air quality and environmental chemistry (Diévart et al., 2006).
