ABSTRACT Carbendazim, a commonly used fungicide, was identified as contributor to soil degradation. Despite the extensive use of carbendazim, degradation mechanisms and removal process carbendazim in environment were not yet fully understood. A deeper understanding pathways considered essential for developing effective strategies mitigate long‐term environmental impacts. The using ozone water environments investigated with simulation experiments exposure soil, efficiency also explored under different conditions study. results showed that ozone‐induced proceeded three stages: rapid removal, slow equilibrium. In water, directly reacted generating hydroxyl radicals (˙OH), which oxidized into intermediates, including 2‐aminobenzimidazole, 2‐hydroxybenzimidazole, 2‐benzimidazolone, o‐phenylenediamine. intermediates eventually degraded nontoxic byproducts such carbon dioxide water. treatment enhanced by catalyzing production active substances, (˙OH) hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ). Increasing aeration frequency four times daily significantly improved reaching peak rate 70.4% after 21 days soil. findings this study clarified theoretical remediation, highlighted critical role process, established scientific foundation remediation targeting carbendazim‐induced contamination.
