Pesticides are renowned as some of the most pernicious chemicals known to humankind. Nine out of twelve most hazardous and persistent organic chemicals on planet have been identified as pesticides and their derivatives. Because of their strong recalcitrant nature, it often becomes a difficult task to treat them by conventional approaches. It is well perceived that many factors can interfere with the degradation of pesticides under ambient conditions, e.g., media, light intensity, humic content, and other biological components. However, for the effective treatment of pesticides, photochemical methods are viewed as having clear and perceivable advantages. In this article, we provide a review of the fundamental characteristics of photochemical approaches for pesticide treatment and the factors governing their capacity and potential in such a process.
农药是众所周知的对人类最有害的化学物质之一。在地球上，12 种最危险和最持久的有机化学物质中有 9 种被确定为农药及其衍生物。由于它们具有很强的抗降解性，因此通过传统方法处理它们通常是一项艰巨的任务。人们已经清楚地认识到，许多因素会干扰环境条件下农药的降解，例如介质、光强度、腐殖质含量和其他生物成分。然而，对于农药的有效处理，光化学方法被认为具有明显和可感知的优势。在本文中，我们回顾了光化学方法处理农药的基本特征，以及控制这些方法在处理过程中的能力和潜力的因素。
