  <description>Anethole is an organic compound with the formula C10H12O and an average molecular weight of 148.21 g/mol. Anethole belongs to the anisoles, a subclass of phenol ethers within the organic compounds. In industrial applications, it is utilized as a fragrance, a deodorizer, and as a nutrient and flavouring agent.

The compound is found in or released from 26 recorded sources across several sectors. Within the electrical and electronic equipment sector, it is associated with batteries, capacitors, cell phones, printed circuit boards, wires, and cables, among two other sources. In food, food processing and cookware, it is found in food contact materials, food packaging, and the preparation of malt, vinegar, and wine or sparkling wine, along with one additional source. It is present in household cleaning and consumer products, including tobacco product cases, tobacco pipes, pipe accessories, other smoking requisites, non electric simulated smoking devices, and one other source. Further sources include lubricants in the energy, oil and gas sector, medical devices in healthcare, pharmaceuticals and veterinary products, and synthetic textiles, carpets and rugs in textiles, leather and furnishings, as well as three more sectors. Exposure routes are recorded as oral, inhalation, and touch.

Regarding plastics, anethole is present in polyethylene terephthalate, high-density polyethylene, and polystyrene. Its presence is inconclusive in poly(ether-sulfone), polyurethane, polyamide, and polypropylene.</description>
