Light induced degradation of the fungicide Thiophanate-methyl in water: Formation of a sensitizing photoproduct

New Route to Toxic Nitro and Nitroso Products upon Irradiation of Micropollutant Mixtures Containing Imidacloprid: Role of NOx and Effect of Natural Organic Matter

“…In previous studies, we showed that the fungicides chlorothalonil and thiophanate-methyl can photoinduce the degradation of other pesticides during irradiation. , These reactions can take place in surface waters, where fungicides are present together with a wide range of other chemicals, and on solid supports such as the surface of leaves, where pesticides are often applied in combination. However, the effect that a pollutant can have on another pollutant remains largely overlooked in photochemical studies, and little is known about the transformation of photostable pollutants via light-induced reactive intermediates of other co-pollutants.…”
