Photodegradation of Herbicides
Herbicides based on triazines or sulfur derivatives would be favorable
destroyed, with healthy consequences for the environment, if
efficient photodegradation could take place. Alternative ways
to destroy the pollutants are being searched. Previous
knowledge of their spectroscopical behavior is being studied
in cooperation with experimental teams.
