Description
In this work photodegradation of four organophosphorus insecticides (ethyl-parathion, methyl-parathion,
fenitrothion, fenthion) in different natural waters and soils was studied under sunlight. The origin of the
waters was from the region of Ioannina (underground, lake, and river water) and from Preveza (sea water)
in Northern-West Greece. The soils used had different percentages of organic matter (0.9–3.5%) and their
characterization were SCL, CL, and SL respectively.
The photodegradation kinetics of these insecticides were followed by GC-FTD. The identification of the
photodegradation by-products was made by using GC-MS. The half-lives of the organophosphorus insecti cides vary from 0.4 to 35.4 days in natural waters and from 3.4 to 21.3 days in soils. The humic substances
and the other components of these environmental matrices seem to influence the degradation kinetics.
The use of GC-MS allowed the identification of some important photodegradation by-products such as:
fenthion sulfone, fenthion sulfoxide, fenoxon, 4-methylthio-3,5-dimethyl phenol, O,O,O-triethyl phosphoro thioate, paraoxon, 4-nitrophenol, aminoparathion.
