Temperature and hydroxyl radical abundance limit the photochemical degradation kinetics and photoproducts of fluridone in high-latitude aquatic systems
Temperature is often overlooked as an environmental driver of aquatic pollutant photodegradation kinetics; however, it may strongly impact contaminant persistence in polar climates characterized by low summertime temperatures and near-continuous sunlight. The photochemical degradation of fluridone (...

Temperature is often overlooked as an environmental driver of aquatic pollutant photodegradation kinetics; however, it may strongly impact contaminant persistence in polar climates characterized by low summertime temperatures and near-continuous sunlight. The photochemical degradation of fluridone (FLU), an herbicide applied worldwide to waterways for the eradication of invasive freshwater species, was investigated under simulated sub-arctic conditions typical of high-latitude surface waters. Temperature had a strong effect on the photochemical degradation of FLU, with half-lives for direct photochemical degradation ranging from approximately 40 h at 22 °C to 118 h at 9 °C under constant irradiation. Assessment of indirect processes involving reactive oxygen species indicated that FLU will primarily react with hydroxyl radicals (∙OH) and not singlet oxygen (1O2) produced by chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the environment.
