Galaxolide (HHCB) is a synthetic musk, a member of one of the two major classes - - the polycyclic musks; the other class, not as widely used, is the nitromusks. Musks are commercially produced in very large quantities (thousands of tons per year worldwide), being used in a wide spectrum of consumer products that contain fragrance. Since musks are soluble in fat, they tend to partition to sewage sludge and can concentrate in certain biota.
