Abstract
Abstract Five organophosphate (OP) pesticides decayed faster in wool under UV irradiation than in control wool. The mean half-life in days, at an ambient temperature of 24–32°C for the irradiated/control wool was, respectively,0.5/15 (coumaphos), 4/9 (diazinon), 4/13 (propetamphos), 11/23 (bromophos ethyl), and 13/21 (chlorfenvinphos). Both UV and thermal components need to be considered in assessing the effects of solar radiation on OP residue levels in wool.
