Abstract
Summary: Kinetics of chemical degradation of propyzamide (Kerb) in aquatic environments—influence of pH and trace elements Degradation of propyzamide in aquatic environments has been studied with particular reference to pH and the presence of trace elements. The degradation is quicker in alkaime than in acid surroundings but this is appreciable only in acidic and strongly alkaline media. Iron and copper salts had little influence but, on the contrary, silver salts had a strong effect. The mechanism of this interaction is discussed.
