The principal use of nitromethane is as a stabilizer for chlorinated solvents, which are used in dry cleaning, semiconductor processing, and degreasing.

Researchers have known for about 15 years that bacteria alter chlorinated solvents.
They are both aggressive and toxic chlorinated solvents.
Poplars and cottonwood trees work well in drawing chlorinated solvents and nitrates from groundwater.
These benefits include no harmful byproducts or emissions of gas-phase chlorinated solvents into the air, and no physical waste is generated through running the system.
