Photoinduced Generation of Hydroxyl Radical in Natural Waters

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Photobiogeochemistry of Organic Matter

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

Hydroxyl radical (HO•) is a short-lived free radical, and it is the most potent oxidizing transient among the reactive oxygen species. It is an effective, nonselective and strong oxidant that is ubiquitously formed in natural sunlit surface waters (rivers, lakes and seawater and so on), rain, dew, cloud, fog, snow, aerosol, and in all living organisms.
