Methoxychlor and DDT degradation in water: rates and products

Tabulated and graphical data are given on the rates of degradation of methoxychlor and DDT in water, and on the products of decomposition. Both compounds are hydrolysed only slowly. Calculations with partition coefficients indicate that even though high concentrations of these compounds are present...

Zusammenfassung:Tabulated and graphical data are given on the rates of degradation of methoxychlor and DDT in water, and on the products of decomposition. Both compounds are hydrolysed only slowly. Calculations with partition coefficients indicate that even though high concentrations of these compounds are present in sediments and biota, a large fraction can be in solution.
