Fungicides nitrophenols

Such reductions may result in loss or diminution of the harmful effects as microorganisms convert the broad-spectrum poison 2,4-dinitrophenol to 2-amino-4-and 4-amino-2-nitrophenol, the fungicide pentachloronitrobenzene to penta-chloroaniline, and the insecticide Parathion to aminoparathion. 

Nitrophenols Synthetic organic pesticides containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen used as wood preservatives, fungicides, or disinfectants affect liver and central nervous system in the human body. 

Bindings covered with vegetable-tanned leather are washed with pure toilet soap, saddle soap, or mild, high quality surgical toilet soap and a 7-10% solution of potassium lactate. 0.25% of p-nitrophenol can be added as a fungicide, but this is not necessary if the temperature and relative humidity are constantly satisfactory (see p. 5). The lactate, when applied to new vegetable-tanned leather, is thought to protect the leather from the deleterious action of sulfuric acid which usually forms in leather when sulfur dioxide is absorbed. It is. probable that it has little efficacy once chemical deterioration has started, and for some years doubt has been cast on its effectiveness, even on new leather, despite favorable results in laboratory tests. However, it is used, and its use is advocated just in case it is beneficial. 

One of the most useful advantages of resonance Raman spectroscopy is its ability to record spectra at very low concentrations. For example, Thibeau et al. (1978) have shown that this type of spectroscopy is able to detect hazardous chemicals in water. Nitrophenol-based pesticides or fungicides could be detected at concentrations below Ippm. 

Substituted nitrophenol pesticides, those based on nitrophenol (25154-55-6), a fungicide, including the acaricide parathion.
