Depending on the desired definition of the word "contaminant" Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate is more likely the answer. Linear Alkyl Sulfonates are far more readily biodegraded than Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate due to their relative chemical structures. Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate can cause issues in waterways such as eutrophication, which in turn can lead to algal blooms.
it is C6H5-R , R = any alkyl group.
Discuss the chemical reaction between soda ash and alkyl benzene sulphonic acid
Alkyl benzene sulfonates or ABS (also linear alkyl benzene sulfonates or LAS, linear alkyl sodium sulfonates). A class of synthetic surfactants (usually identified as "anionic surfactants.") ABS are very slow to biodegrade and seldom used. LAS, however, are the most common surfactants in use. During the manufacturing process, carcinogens and reproductive toxins such as benzene are released into the environment. While LAS do biodegrade, they do so slowly and are of low to moderate toxicity. LAS are synthetic. The pure compounds may cause skin irritation on prolonged contact, just like soap. Allergic reactions are rare. Because oleo-based alternatives are available, LAS should not be used.
treat benzene with CO/CuCl/AlCl3/HCl to make a benzaldehyde (i.e. add CHO on benzene ring), then Zn(Hg)/HCl to make toluene

I believe the question mean the sulphonic acids. The sulphonic acids are pre-finished of the surfactants and will need future reaction with caustic soda. They are acidic, highly viscous and can do reduce surface tension as the way surfactant do but a lot stronger with pH value approximately 2-3. Most common sulphonic acids is Linear Alkyl Benzene sulphonic acids.

because the branched chain ABS are persistent in nature and cause water foaming.

It's alkyl-benzene.

An alkylbenzene is a hydrocarbon formally derived from benzene by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with alkyl groups.
I think it smells like bitter almonds......dont know about taste. Benzene is also a known human carcinogen, so caution should be taken when wafting the odor. As for tasting it- you probably shouldn't.
