Abstract

The investigations about the atmospheric degradation of organic herbicides became more and more important in China. In our present research, the rate constant of the reaction of 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (MCPA) with ^·OH radicals was measured by a long path quartz reactor connected with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR). At 23°C and under one atmosphere, the rate constant was determined to be 2.67×10^-11cm³/(s·mol), the atmospheric life time of MCPA was estimated to be 14.9 h. The results show that MCPA can be degraded in atmosphere and is not feasible to cause wide-spreading and persisting pollution through long range atmospheric transport.
