Polycyclic and nitro musks in Canadian municipal wastewater : occurrence and removal in wastewater treatment / Shirley Anne Smyth [and nine others].: En13-5/06-228E-PDF
"Polycyclic and nitro musks (PNMs) are widely used synthetic fragrances in Europe and North America. They can be found in almost all consumer products such as perfumes, deodorants, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, household cleaners, and air freshener. They are relatively lipophilic in a similar manner to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Since the early 1980s, they have been measured in marine and freshwater biota, sediments, and water, and have also been detected in human adipose tissue and human milk. It is evident form the literature that PNMs are persistent, bioaccumulative, and ubiquitous in the environment"--Introduction, page 138.
