Environmental Fate and Behavior of Transformation Products of Pesticides used in Urban Areas

Vorschau

Pesticides like biocidal products are applied to urban outdoor materials. Due to rain events applied biocides are leached out and spread into the aqueous environment. Many processes like biodegradation and photolysis lead to the degradation and transformation of substances. Aqueous photolysis of the analyzed biocide octhilinone (OIT) leads to the degradation with a quantum yield of Φ = 0.01 under simulated solar radiation. Biodegradation of the initial substance compared to the photolytic mixture shows an increased biological activity. Toxic effects on luminescent bacteria could be observed in low concentration ranges below 1 µg L-1. This research demonstrates that new insights on the fate and behavior of TPs in the aquatic environment are necessary to provide the assessment of risk potential and the development of water pollution control measures.
