Abstract

DDT is reductively dechlorinated to DDD and dehydrochlorinated to DDE; it has been thought that DDE is not degraded further in the environment. Laboratory experiments with DDE-containing marine sediments showed that DDE is dechlorinated to DDMU in both methanogenic and sulfidogenic microcosms and that DDD is dehydrochlorinated to DDMU three orders of magnitude more slowly. Thus, DDD does not appear to be an important precursor of the DDMU found in these sediments. These results imply that remediation decisions and risk assessments based on the recalcitrance of DDE in marine and estuarine sediments should be reevaluated.

4. DDE is generally considered more refractory than DDD and is shown as a terminal product in most biodegradation schemes in the literature [M. L. Rochkind and J. W. Blackburn, inMicrobial Decomposition of Chlorinated Compounds(EPA/600/2-86/090, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, 1986), pp. 138–145]. Degradation of DDD tends to be slow, especially in aerobic soils, but its anaerobic degradation through DDMU [1-chloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene] to DBP (p,p′-dichlorobenzophenone) has been established for certain microbial cultures [Wedemeyer G., Appl. Microbiol. 15, 569 (1967)].
