Abstract
The aim of this paper was to determine the quantum efficiency of a serie of
pesticides (s-triazine, anilide, thiocarbamate, organophosphorus) and to e
valuate their life time in aqueous medium using sun light energy. The exper
iments for the determination of the quantum efficiency were carried out in
a solar light simulator equipped with a xenon lamp. The life time was calcu
lated according to the European guide line recommendation [1] with the sun
energy from western Europe. The validity of the results obtained for the qu
antum efficiencies and the life times are discussed in this study.
