The degradation of cis-chlordane in different solvents by UV irradiation was investigated. The solvent affects the photodegradation of cis-chlordane where the degradation rate increases as solvent polarity increases: hexane (t1/2 = 315 min) < isopropanol (t1/2) = 277 min) < aqueous isopropanol (t1/2 = 25 min). The degradation of cis-chlordane and the formation of a number of photoproducts were monitored and analyzed by GC-MS. Solid-phase extraction with graphitized carbon black was used to extract cis-chlordane and its photoproducts in aqueous isopropanol. cis-Chlordane degrades by dechlorination in hexane while in isopropanol and in aqueous isopropanol, it degrades by dechlorination and oxidation. The chemical structures of the photoproducts were proposed.Downloads
