Abstract
An analytical investigation of the degradation of the biocide zineb (zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate) in Guillard's F2 marine culture medium over 96 h showed the formation of 5,6‐dihydro‐3H‐imidazo (2,1‐c)‐1,2,4‐dithiazole‐3‐thione (DIDT) and ethylene thiourea (ETU). In the presence of copper, over 24 h, HPLC analysis showed a compound with an identical retention time to ethylene diisothiocyanate (EDI).
