2-Propen-1-Ol (allyl alcohol) is an organic compound used in industrial processes. It can contaminate water through industrial discharge or chemical spills.

2-Propen-1-Ol, also known as allyl alcohol, is a colorless liquid with a sharp odor. It's widely used in manufacturing resins, plasticizers, and pharmaceutical products. This compound can enter water sources through industrial discharge or accidental spills. Environmental agencies typically detect it using gas chromatography methods. While 2-Propen-1-Ol can pose health risks if ingested, it tends to biodegrade in water and soil, reducing long-term environmental impact. Proper industrial waste management is crucial to prevent water contamination.
