| Abstract | Photooxidation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) and pyridine in dilute solution in natural waters gives products characteristic of reactions with alkylperoxy (RO2⋅) and hydroxyl (HO⋅) radicals. On the basis of the rates of formation of the products, the average concentrations of RO2⋅ and HO⋅ are estimated to be about 10-9 and 10-17 mole per liter, respectively. The concentration of RO2⋅ is large enough that, for some classes of reactive chemicals, oxidation can be an important process in natural waters. |
