Title: Investigation of the photochemistry of urea herbicides (chlorotoluron and isoproturon) and quantum yields using polychromatic irradiation

Journal/Source: Environ. Tox. Chem., 17, 258-264, (1998); DOI: 10.1002/etc.5620170217


Data: table, diagram

Energy/Wavelength range: 200 - 290 nm

Comments: Chlorotoluron and isoproturon present very low molar extinction coefficients above 290 nm, and they can be assumed to be photostable 
with respect to direct irradiation by sunlight.
