The fate of chloroacetanilide herbicides and their degradation products in the Nzoia Basin Kenya
Article Abstract:
A study is undertaken to analyze alachlor, metolachlor and their respective environmentally stable aniline degradation products, 2, 6- diethylaniline and 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline in water and sediment samples from river Nzoia, Kenya. The findings indicate that the prevailing tropical climatic conditions favor a quick breakdown of pesticides to their environmentally stable degradation products.
