Цікавий факт
Residues of musk xylene were detected in the early 1980s in fish from the Tama River near Tokyo, and later in the river water itself, especially at the outlets of sewage treatment plants. World production of nitro musks was about 2500 tonnes in 1987 and about 1000 tonnes by the early 1990s, with musk xylene making up roughly two-thirds of the production of nitro musks.

У парфумерії
Musk xylene has been used as a perfume fixative in a wide variety of consumer products. It is also found in household cleaners and detergents. Its use has declined sharply since the mid-1980s due to safety and environmental concerns. Until 2011 the European Union permitted it in cosmetic products other than oral care products, at up to 1% in fine fragrances, up to 0.4% in eau de toilette and up to 0.03% in other products.
