Biological. Degradation of radiolabeled diuron (20 ppm) was not observed after 2 wk of culturing with Fusarium and two unidentified microorganisms. After 80 d, only 3.5% of the applied amount evolved as C02 (Lopez and Kirkwood, 1974). In 8 wk, <20% of diuron in soil (60 ppm) was detoxified (Corbin and Upchurch, 1967). 3,4-Dichloroaniline was reported as a minor degradation product of diuron in water (Drinking Water Health Advisory, 1989) and soils (Duke et al, 1991).

The presence of perchlorate is one of the most topical discussions concerning drinking water in USA (Urbansky and Schock 1999 Gu and Coates 2006). Recently, Massachusetts and California set a limiting concentration of 6 ppb and 2 ppb for perchlorate in drinking water. In 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released an interim drinking water health advisory of 15 ppb. 

The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) established a drinking water health advisory of 20-40 p.gL MTBE in December 1997 (USEPA, 1987). MTBE is the only oxygenate whose occurrence in water supplies and the ambient environment has been widely documented. It has been found in 5-10% of community drinking-water supplies in areas where gasoline with high MTBE concentrations are used (Zogorski et al., 1997). Approximately 3% of these supplies are above the 20 p,g limit of the...
