Abstract

The effectiveness of radiolytic decomposition of widely used organophosphorus pesticide chlorfenvinphos using γ-irradiation from 60Co source was investigated using HPLC and ion-chromatography for monitoring of decomposition products. In terms of irradiation dose the Microtox toxicity of irradiated solutions was examined, and also effect of irradiation on ability of irradiated chlorfenvinphos solutions to inhibit activity of enzyme acetylcholi-nesterase was investigated.
