Photochemistry of Organophosphorus Insecticides

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 172))

Abstract

Photochemical reactions of pesticides in the environment have been recognized as an important factor contributing to the fate of those xenobiotics. As the fate of the parent molecule does not necessarily imply the fate of the active structures, it is important to clarify their photochemical way of decomposition because the more comprehensive the knowledge of their residues in the environment, the better their risk assessment.
