This study identifies combinations of over 60 pesticides and 8 common disinfectants (or
conditions) including free chlorine, monochloramine, chlorine dioxide, permanganate, ozone,
hydrogen peroxide, photo-oxidation with UV at 254 nm, and hydrolysis at pH 2, pH 7, and pH
12, that exhibit the potential for pesticide degradate formation. Initial parent pesticide
concentrations were less than 25 µg/L, and treatment dosages were on the order of typical
exposures used during water treatment. The reaction media was buffered Milli-Q water adjusted
to pH 6.6 and 8.6. The reactivity of pesticide/oxidant pairs were categorized as "highly reactive"
(>50% parent removal), "moderately reactive" (20-50% parent removal), and "slightly reactive"
