Interesting article. I was interested to see that my preliminary publication in Mirex decomposition (1975) was cited, but not the subsequent full Science paper on the many Mirex decomposition products (chlorine losses) found in outdoor spills, and Chesapeake Bay contaminants including Kepone and its daughter decomposition products. It is available here on RG in my file. Mirex in the environment: Its degradation to kepone and related compounds
