The Migration and Transformation of Pyrethroids in Coastal Sedimentary Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Increasing use of pyrethroid insecticides in tidal farms has resulted in the severe pollution of coastal water environment and sedimentary environment. In this work, the migration and transformation of three pyrethroid insecticides, fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and deltamethrin in Bohai coastal zone were studied. The results showed that the adsorption of pyrethroids on the coastal sediments matched pseudo-second-order kinetics and the chemical adsorption played a major role. The degradation of three pyrethroids included chemical degradation and biological degradation. The chemical degradation had predominance function at the initial 14 hours, but the biological degra- dation effect was increasing continuously in the transformation process, so that the proportion of biological degradation in total degradation reached about 68% at 110h. M-phenoxyphenyl-acetonitril was identified as the stable degradation product by GC-MS.
