The more effective pathways of pollutants transformation in surface and waste waters are the interreservoir redox processes with participation of intermediate active particles. Among them the most interesting ones for natural water chemistry are the reactive products of a biochemical cycle of oxygen – singlet oxygen and hydroxyl (OH) radical. To determine the particles steady state concentration the methods of the measurements of the initiation rate and the effective interaction rate constant of these particles with natural water components (antioxidizing capacity relative to particle) have been developed. It is shown that the value of antioxidizing capacity relative to OH-radicals is the informative index of the total water pollution, and the value of antioxidizing capacity relative to singlet oxygen is estimation of the specific organic substances contribution. A classification for the aquatic medium purity classes depending on the value of antioxidizing capacity relative to OH-radicals is proposed based on the field data systematization.
