Abstract

Irgarol 1051, 2-methylthio-4-tert-butylamino-6-cyclopropylamino-s-triazine, is a newly developed herbicidal additive for use in copper-based antifouling paints. It is intended to replace the antifouling agent tributyltin, which has been regulated internationally due to its severe impact on the aquatic ecosystem. However, there is no information in the open literature on the abiotic degradation of Irgarol, a fact that hinders the assessment of its ...
