“…However, the concentrations of endosulfans were lower than those reported in Eastern France (1.51-3.67 lg L À1 ) (Scheyer et al, 2007). The proportions of a-HCH and c-HCH fall very closely in the range reported in studies in Canada (Brun et al, 2008).…”

“…The concentrations of pesticides and degradation products reported in this study are generally much higher than the highest concentrations reported in different parts of the world, for example; Belgium (0.285 and 1.7 lg L À1 , endosulfan and c-HCH) (Quaghebeur et al, 2004), Northern France (0.0066-0.04 lg L À1 , 4,4 0 -DDE, hexachlorobenzene, a-HCH and c-HCH) (Teil et al, 2004), Eastern France (0.174 lg L À1 , c-HCH) (Scheyer et al, 2007) and Canada (0.002-0.054 lg L À1 , 18 organochlorine compounds) (Brun et al, 2008). However, the concentrations of endosulfans were lower than those reported in Eastern France (1.51-3.67 lg L À1 ) (Scheyer et al, 2007).…”

“…Among the organic compounds, the presence of pesticide is well established in all environmental compartments, such as gas phase, soil, snow and atmospheric waters (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Pesticides can be emitted and transported in the atmosphere (17).…”

In the present study, we investigated the correlation between the hydroxyl radical formation rate (R(˙OH) ) and the degradation of a pesticide (mesotrione) in synthetic cloud water solutions and in two real atmospheric cloud waters collected at the top of puy de Dôme station (France). Using terephthalic acid as the hydroxyl radical chemical probe, we established the linear correlation between the photogenerated hydroxyl radical under polychromatic wavelengths and the pesticide degradation rate: (M s(-1)) = (1.61 ± 0.15) × 10(-1) (M s(-1)). Moreover, the formation rate of hydroxyl radical in two natural cloud waters was estimated considering H(2)O(2) and NO(3)(-) and the difference between the predicted values and those experimentally obtained could be attributed to the presence of other photochemical sources: iron-complexes and total organic matter. The organic constituents could play a dual role of sources and scavengers of photoformed hydroxyl radicals in the aqueous phase.

“…One of the most widely used members of this group, diuron [N- (3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea], is also used in many parts of the world as a broad-spectrum herbicide in urban and industrial areas, as an active ingredient in antifouling boat paints, and in algaecide formulations used in fountains and aquaculture. As a consequence, diuron has been detected in lakes, rivers, and groundwater (18,23,30,44), in marine waters and sediments (43), and in rain collected at urban and rural sites (37). Diuron is generally found at trace concentrations (nanograms per liter to micrograms per liter), but higher concentrations (milligrams per liter) have been found in, for example, drainage water from agricultural soils (47,51) and in rainfall runoff from fruit orchards (34).…”

The phenylurea herbicide diuron [N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylurea] is widely used in a broad range of herbicide formulations, and consequently, it is frequently detected as a major water contaminant in areas where there is extensive use. We constructed a linuron [N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N-methoxy-N-methylurea]-and diuron-mineralizing two-member consortium by combining the cooperative degradation capacities of the diuron-degrading organism Arthrobacter globiformis strain D47 and the linuron-mineralizing organism Variovorax sp. strain SRS16. Neither of the strains mineralized diuron alone in a mineral medium, but combined, the two strains mineralized 31 to 62% of the added [ring-U-14 C]diuron to 14 CO 2 , depending on the initial diuron concentration and the cultivation conditions. The constructed consortium was used to initiate the degradation and mineralization of diuron in soil without natural attenuation potential. This approach led to the unexpected finding that Variovorax sp. strain SRS16 was able to mineralize diuron in a pure culture when it was supplemented with appropriate growth substrates, making this strain the first known bacterium capable of mineralizing diuron and representatives of both the N,N-dimethyl-and N-methoxy-N-methyl-substituted phenylurea herbicides. The ability of the coculture to mineralize microgram-per-liter levels of diuron was compared to the ability of strain SRS16 alone, which revealed the greater extent of mineralization by the two-member consortium (31 to 33% of the added [ring-U-14 C]diuron was mineralized to 14 CO 2 when 15.5 to 38.9 g liter ؊1 diuron was used). These results suggest that the consortium consisting of strains SRS16 and D47 could be a promising candidate for remediation of soil and water contaminated with diuron and linuron and their shared metabolite 3,4-dichloroaniline.
