Decomposition of CDEC by Far Ultraviolet Radiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
The ultraviolet absorption spectra of aqueous dispersions of 2-chloroallyl diethyldithiocarbamate (CDEC) were altered by relatively short periods of exposure to far ultraviolet radiation. Evidence of molecular decomposition also was obtained from solvent partitioning characteristics, gas chromatography, and bioassays. Ultraviolet irradiation of soil surfaces treated with the herbicide decreased its persistence, but no evidence of decomposition was obtained.
