| Alpha-HCH is, in principle, degradable in environmental compartments by abiotic processes such as photodegradation or hydrolysis. |
| However, some level of continued photodegradation down to the biphenyl ether could also likely occur. |
| Even when indirect photolysis could occur with a photosensitizing agent, there is no clear evidence of lindane photodegradation. |
| All operations were carried out on ice under a dim green safe light to prevent photodegradation, isomerization and structural changes of the pigments. |
| Understanding the mechanisms by which photodegradation occurs may lead to more polymers that have environmental and medical applications. |
| Three types of pesticide degradation are microbial, chemical, and photodegradation. |
