E. Corta et al., Study of the degradation products of bromopropylate, chlordimeform, coumaphos, cymiazole, flumethrin and tau-fluvalinate in aqueous media, TALANTA, 52(2), 2000, pp. 169-180
Degradation processes of bromopropylate, coumaphos, chlordimeform, cymiazol
e, flumethrin and fluvalinate in aqueous media have been studied by HPLC. C
ymiazole is stable at any tested pH (1-11), while bromopropylate, flumethri
n and coumaphos are unstable at basic pH and chlordimeform and fluvalinate
in neutral and basic media. The main degradation products have been identif
ied by GC-MS. The reaction rate constants and half-lives were calculated an
d the effect of co-solvents on the rate and product profile was studied. (C
