2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) changes color from white to red when exposed to sunlight.
2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline and 4-methoxy-3-nitrophenol are the main transformation products.
Degradation products identified had concentrations <1% of that of DNAN.
Concentration of 2-methoxy-5-nitroaniline was high when ammonium perchlorate present.
Unknown A (possibly a nitrosobenzene) was present in most samples.
