Why is it important?
The study investigates the photodegradation of two pesticides bifenthrin and deltamethrin. It is important with regard to the fate and life cycle of these pesticides, and, hence, their impact on the environment. It will help towards designing strategies to control pesticides.
Perspectives
The pesticides are like two-edged swords. We need them to control pests, but they also have injurious effects on our ecosystem. Therefore, it is important to study their degradation under different conditions.
