Elucidating the degradation behavior and mechanisms of pyraquinil in soil: A comprehensive study on dissipation kinetics, transformation products and toxicity assessment

Key Points

• Degradation behavior of pyraquinil indicates significant dissipation over time, impacting soil health.
• Key finding shows that specific transformation products emerged within the first two weeks of exposure.
• Dissipation kinetics were measured using analytical techniques, uncovering the rate at which pyraquinil degrades in soil.
• Toxicity assessment highlights potential environmental risks, necessitating further studies on transformation product impacts.
