Contamination of water by chemical and bacterial pollutants as well as ‘white pollution’ caused by carelessly discarded waste plastics are major environmental problems. In the current study, the possibility of using semiconductor photocatalysis for the removal of last traces of organic water pollutants of different types is investigated. Semiconductors ZnO and TiO
