Description

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is one of the most active environment estrogens. In this paper pulse radiolysis was carried out to study dynamic characteristics of active transient species of DES. The double bond between the benzene rings was supposed to be one of sites attacked by hydroxyl radicals. DES was rather sensitive to high-energy electron beam and their radicals can be easily degraded easily. The works will be of help for us to study degrading mechanisms and biological effects of DES, and to explore environment-repairing ways against DES
