Abstract:Compound-specific isotope analysis stands as a promising tool for unveiling the behavior of pesticides in agricultural environments. Using the commercial formulations of persistent fungicide procymidone (PRO) and less persistent insecticide diazinon (DIA), respectively, we analyzed the concentration and carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) of the residual pesticides through soil incubation experiments in a greenhouse (for 150 days) and lab conditions (for 50−70 days). Our results showed that the magnitude of δ … Show more
