(±)-1-Octen-3-ol, is one of the volatiles responsible for mold`s odor. It can be used in combination with carbon dioxide to attract insects in order to kill them. In animal study, 1-Octen-3-ol has been shown to interfere with dopamine transport in the brain of fruit flies, so it might be an environmental agent involved in parkinsonism.
