The abiotic degradation of the new antifouling agent, triphenylborane pyridine (TPBP), was studied in buffer solutions of pH 5, 7, and 9, and in artificial and natural seawater to estimate environmental fate of TPBP. The TPBP in these waters was decomposed by a 7-day hydrolysis process at 50° both in the dark and a photolysis process under UV-A irradiation using a high-pressure Hg lamp for â?4 h. TPBP hydrolysis was significantly enhanced by acidic pH solutions The photolysis rate of TPBP was higher in acidic pH solutions than in neutral or basic pH solutions, and was highest in natural seawater, which could have contained naturally dissolved organic matter. Two degradation products, phenol and an unknown substance (Peak #1), were observed during the hydrolysis and photolysis studies of TPBP. The concentration of these substances after a 1-day photolysis treatment was higher than after a 7-day hydrolysis treatment. The degradation rate of TPBP in the 5 test water samples was related to the simultaneous photolysis formation of phenol and Peak #1. However, the degradation rate of TPBP was not related to the formation of the hydrolysis products. It is suggested that photodegradation of TPBP follows a different pathway to the hydrolysis degradation of TPBP. Our results indicate the chem. and photochem. reaction of TPBP in water occurs in natural aquatic environments.
