Bifenthrin's Environmental Fate: An Insight Into Its Soil Sorption and Degradation Studies.

ABSTRACT: To fully comprehend each pesticide's behavior and interactions with soil and the environment, a thorough and nuanced analysis of each one is thought necessary. In this study, 10 randomly selected heterogeneous soil samples, each with distinct characteristics, were subjected to sorption trials as well as disintegration tests using biodegradation, hydrolysis, and photolysis. For sorption tests, the batch equilibrium approach was used, which revealed a dependence on the soils' physicochemical characteristics. Bifenthrin's distribution coefficient (K _d ) varied from 7.27 to 25.89 μg·ml^-1, with R ² values varying from 0.92 to 0.99. Each soil physicochemical characteristic was associated with the various sorptive outcomes, which suggested an exother
