The oxidation of thiol-containing small molecules, peptides, and proteins in the presence of peroxides is of increasing biological and pharmaceutical interest. Although such reactions have been widely studied there does not appear to be a consensus in the literature as to the reaction products forme

✦ Synopsis
The kinetics of degradation of atrazine were studied using UV radiation in combination with hydrogen peroxide at different pH values. The influence of the initial concentration was also considered. The dark reactions were negligible. The kinetic constants were determined following a proposed first-order kinetic model.
The photochemical treatment of water contaminated with atrazine is conditioned by the toxicity of the decomposition products, since the treatment is unable to degrade all of these products.
