Fludioxonil has been proven valuable as a broad-spectrum fungicide. However, there are concerns about its risk posed to non-target organisms in aquatic environments. In this paper, the mechanism, photoproducts transformation and eco-toxicity of fludioxonil during center dot OH/O-1(2)-initiated process were systematically studied using quantum chemistry and computational toxicology. The results indicate that the two favorable pathways of center dot OH/O-1(2)-initiated reactions are both occurred in pyrrole ring. It can conclude that the rate constants of center dot OH and O-1(2) are 1.23 x 10(10) and 3.69 x 10(7) M-1 s(-1) at 298K, respectively, which results in half-lives of <2 days in surface waters under sunlit near-surface conditions. Based on toxicity assessments, these photoproducts showed a decreased aquatic toxicity but the majority products are still toxic. This study gives more insight into the chemical transformation mechanism of fludioxonil in aquatic environments.
