“…Direct photodegradation by solar light is limited and various lamps have been used for irradiation of contaminated water solutions. The photolysis of contaminants (including pesticides) in aqueos solution depends on the different reaction parameters such as type of light, lamp distance, temperature, initial concentration of pesticides, type of water, pH, the presence of humic and fulvic acids, the presence of O 2 , O 3 , O 2 /O 3 and H 2 O 2 , the presence of inorganic ions and organic matter dissolved in water (Burrows et al, 2002;Tomaševic at al., 2010a).…”
