A multivariate kinetic model of aqueous fipronil photodegradation was developed as a function of dissolved organic matter (DOM), bicarbonate, and nitrate at concentrations that bracket those commonly observed in natural waters (ca. 0-10 mg/L). Several pathways were available for fipronil photodegradation in this system, including direct photolysis and indirect photooxidation by species produced during the illumination of natural waters (e.g., (NOM)-N-3*, O-1(2)*, (OH)-O-., (CO31-)-C-., (OOR)-O-., (OOH)-O-., e(aq)(-), O-2(.-)). Product studies indicated that fipronil was quantitatively converted to fipronil desulfinyl, a product that is associated with direct photolysis alone. DOM was the only variable that affected fipronil degradation; it decreased the rate of fipronil photodegradation primarily through competitive light absorption (i.e., attenuation) and the quenching of fipronil*. The addition of sodium chloride (30parts per thousand) resulted in a more rapid rate (similar to20%) of fipronil loss in comparison to equivalent experiments performed without sodium chloride, implying that fipronil may be more photolabile in marine environments.
