The photo-induced degradation of diuron (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) in aqueous solution under simulated solar irradiation has been investigated in the presence of NO3-/NO2- ions. The degradation rates were compared by varying environmental parameters including substrate and inducer concentrations, oxygen content and pH. The photoproducts were identified by extensive LC–ESI–MS and LC–ESI–MS–MS studies after SPE preconcentration on prepacked cartridges. In both NO3- and NO2- conditions, oxidation of the N-(CH3)2 terminus group is the main process leading to the N-monodemethylated (NHCH3), N-formyl (N(CH3)CHO) and the uncommon and unstable carbinolamine (N(CH3)CH2OH) by-products. Cl/OH substituted and nitrated phenylureas are formed minorily. Degradation pathways involving OH and NO2 (or dimer) radicals as reactive species are proposed.
