Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Degradation products as well as fenitrothion were tentatively identified by two-dimensional thin-layer co-chromatography with authentic standards and their chemical identities were confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography.

1. demethylated fenitrothion (DM-SMT)

(dominant degradation product at pH5 and pH7)

2. 3-methyl-4 -nitrophenol (NMC)

(dominant degradation product at pH9)
