Toxic combustion products of three pesticides

Complexity and origin of the smoke components as measured near the flame-front of a real forest fire incident: A case study

“…the 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy acetic acid (MCPA). Pyrolysis and/or combustion of those materials can give a broad range of compounds [22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Mechanism of thermal decomposition of a pesticide for safety concerns: Case of Mancozeb

“…temperature and atmosphere) were published in the literature and mainly concern organochlorine pesticides [6,7] and organo-phosphorus pesticides [7][8][9]. Micro scale experiments of combustion were conducted by Nageswara Rao to characterize and quantify combustion products of several pesticides (monochrotophos, chloropyriphos, butachlor and hexachlorobenzene).…”

Thermal degradation of pesticides under oxidative conditions

“…Very large amounts of pesticides are indeed stored in magazines every day as a consequence of their massive use in agriculture. The possibility of accidents has also received some attention in the literature [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
