Comments: The photodegradation of structurally similar organophosphorus pesticides; methylparathion and fenitrothion in water (20° C) and ice (-15° C) is investigated. The UV spectra of methyl-parathion (1) and fenitrothion (2) in aqueous solutions are presented. Their main absorption
bands have a similar shape (lambda max(1) ~ 276 nm; lambda max(2) ~ 272 nm).
