Studies of Environmental Fates of DIMP and DCPD

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine the rates of microbial and photochemical transformations of DCPD and DIMP in the soils and waters of Rocky Mountain Arsenal. Biotransformation of DCPD was observed to occur very slowly in soil and water. DIMP underwent biotransformation slowly in soil only. DCPD was observed to photolyze in natural waters by an indirect mechanism, and DIMP was observed to be non-photoreactive.
