Shemer, K.G. Linden Title: Aqueous photodegradation and toxicity of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons fluorene, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene Journal/Source: Water Research, 41, 853-861, (2007); doi:10.1016/j.watres.2006.11.022 Data: (diagram, table, disk): Energy/Wavelength range: 253.7 nm; 200 - 300 nm Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure: Comments: Decay kinetics resulting from the application of UV and UV/H2O2 to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) fluorene, dibenzofuran and dibenzothiophene was studied. Degradation of all three PAHs shows low quantum yields ranging from 1.4×10-3 to 1.8×10-2 mol/E. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: (e-mail address):
