The results of formation of stable products of organochlorinated pesticides (OCP) under gamma-irradiation (dose 10 kGy, dose rate 0.026, 0.14 kGy/min) are discussed in the article. The model solutions of alpha-,gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-,gamma-HCH), p,p-dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (p,p-DDT) and p,p-dichlorophenyl-dichloroethylene (DDE), with initial concentrations of 1.0-0.1 ppm, were exposed to gamma-radiation. Among the products of OCP radiolysis such compounds as DDE, 2,2-di(chlorophenyl)-1-chloroethylene, dichlorophenyl-dichloroethane and various isomers of HCH were found. It was shown that taking in account the whole data on the formed metabolites the toxicological characteristics of pesticide solutions cannot be improved by exposure to gamma-radiation. |
