Abstract

Ecological, signaling, metabolic, and chemical processes in plant-microorganism systems and in plant-derived material may link the use of chlorinated pesticides in the environment with plant chloromethane emission. This neglected factor should be taken into account to assess global planetary budgets of chloromethane and impacts on atmospheric ozone depletion.

Keywords: chlorinated pesticides; halocarbons; methyl chloride; planetary boundary threat; stratospheric ozone.
