Abstract - One of the most common disinfectant agents used for water disinfection, sodium hypochlorite, was employed to investigate the degradation of the herbicide alloxydim. The half-life of alloxydim in the presence of a chlorine excess was determined to be DT50 < 30 s. Degradation of alloxydim in chlorinated water gave rise to a main chlorinated by-product identified by using liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). This by-product was produced from the parent compound in amounts that allowed the study of its phytotoxicity on wheat. Bioassays showed that the metabolite had an effect on the root growth with doses from 0.1 mg·L-1.
