Abstract
A quantum-chemical study has been made of the interactions of pheromones of some lepidopteran forest pests (Siberian moth Dendrolimus superans sibiricus Tschetv and gypsy moth Limantria dispar L.) with components of the ambient air, as well as the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the pheromones. It is found that the reactions of pheromones with substances contained in the forest air are irreversible and proceed with liberation of heat. Electromagnetic radiation quite strongly affects the structure of pheromones, whereby the pheromone molecule is activated and can readily enter into reactions.
