Abstract

AbstractWith increasing utilization of various synthetic chemicals, the adverse impact of these chemicals is of concern due to their occurrence in the environment. The subsequent transformation products pose considerable risk on the ecosystem and human health. However, for most currently used synthetic chemicals, the fate of their transformation products are yet to be elucidated, which forces most current risk assessment to focus on parent chemicals. In this article, general processes and principles of environmental fate of chemical transformation products are illustrated; various influential factors such as physiochemical properties of transformation products and conditions of the environmental media are described; a mass balance approach used to investigate the environmental fate is discussed.
