Iodomethane has several terrestrial biogenic and abiotic sources (Table 3.6). It is emitted from volcanoes (216, 217), fungi (273), wetlands (275), peatlands (267), rice paddies (262-266, 374), and oat plants (374). Biomass combustion also accounts for some CH3I (284, 285, 288). The abiotic soil source cited earlier can also produce CH3I (175). 

In model experiments with catechol, Fe(III), and chloride, and in soil emission studies, it is found that chloroethyne (chloroacetylene) (58) is produced (382). The natural formation of 58 parallels that of vinyl chloride, which is also found in these experiments. The in vitro and in vivo mechanisms are unknown, but the authors propose the path shown in Scheme 3.1 (382). Both chloroethyne and vinyl chloride are emitted from three soil types (coastal salt marsh, peatland, and a deciduous forest).
