(EPA, <br />Reactivity <br />AIR AND WATER REACTIONS: <br />Water soluble. <br />1998) <br />CHEMICAL PROFILE: <br />PARAQUAT DICHLORIDE is stable in acidic media, but unstable in alkaline media. It is photochemically decomposed by UV irradiation in <br />aqueous solutions and is rapidly inactivated by soil. The neat chemical may be sensitive to light. This compound is corrosive to metal and it <br />can react with strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. It is hydrolyzed by alkali compounds and it is inactivated by inert clays and <br />anionic surfactants.
