abstract = {Background and Objectives. Among the factors affecting the
environmental fate of surface-applied pesticides several
biological as well as abiotic factors, such as
volatilization and photochemical transformations are of
particular interest. Whereas reliable measurement methods
and models for estimating direct photodegradation are
already available for the compartments of water and
atmosphere and individual subprocesses have already been
described in detail, there is still a need for further
elucidation concerning the key processes of heterogeneous
photodegradation of environmental chemicals on
surfaces.Methods. In order to systematically examine the
direct and indirect photoclegradation of C-14-labeled
pesticides on various surfaces and their volatilization
behavior, a new laboratory device ('photovolatility
chamber') was designed according to US EPA Guideline 161-3.
Model experiments under controlled conditions were conducted
investigating the impact of different surfaces, i.e. glass,
soil dust and radish plants, and environmental factors, i.e.
irradiation and atmospheric ozone (O-3), on the
photodegradation and volatilization of surface-deposited
[phenyl-UL-C-14]parathion-methyl (PM).Results and
Discussion. Depending on the experimental conditions,
parathion-methyl was converted to paraoxon-methyl,
4-nitrophenol, unknown polar products and (CO2)-C-14. With
respect to the direct photodegradation of PM (experiments
without O-3), the major products were polar compounds and
(CO2)-C-14, due to the rapid photochemical mineralization of
4-nitrophenol to (CO2)-C-14. Paraoxon-methyl and
4-nitrophenol formation was mainly mediated by the
combination of light, O-3, and (OH)-O-. radicals. In radish
experiments PM photoclegradation was presumably located in
the cuticle compartment, which exhibited a sensitized
photodegradation, as more unknown products were yielded
compared to the glass and soil dust experiments. This could
be explained by intensifying the inherent PM degradation in
the dark with the same product spectrum. Due to
photochemical product formation, which is an antagonistic
process to the volatilization of parent compound, the
volatilization of unaltered parathion-methyl from each
surface generally decreased in the presence of light,
particularly in combination with increasing O-3
concentrations and (OH)-O-. radical production
rates.Conclusion. First results demonstrated that the
photovolatility chamber provides a special tool for the
systematic evaluation of (a) photodegradation of
surface-located pesticide residues, i.e. measuring
qualitative aspects of direct and indirect photodegradation
together with relative photodegradation rates, and (b)
volatilization of pesticides on surfaces by including and
optionally varying relevant parameters such as light,
atmospheric O-3 concentration, surface temperature, air
temperature, air flow rate.Outlook. The experimental
facility represents an important complement to lysimeter and
field studies, in particular for experiments on the
volatilization of pesticides using the wind tunnel system.
With the photovolatility chamber special experiments on
photodegradation, volatilization and plant uptake can be
conducted to study key processes in more detail and this
will lead to a better understanding of the effects of
certain environmental processes on the fate of released
agrochemicals contributing to an improved risk assessment.},
