Aquatic Photochemistry:
: [ENVR] Division of Environmental Chemistry
Aquatic photochemical transformations are important in geochemistry and environmental chemistry in diverse contexts, such as natural systems where sunlight is acting on surface waters to engineered systems using UV irradiation. Light may act directly upon target compounds or indirectly through interactions with redox-active species including minerals, dissolved organic matter, and small molecule sensitizers. Understanding the roles of photochemistry in these complex systems will provide important insight into the fate of chemical and biological species in the environment. In this symposium, we invite submissions that explore the direct and indirect roles of light in the photochemical transformation of natural and anthropogenic compounds, as well as interactions of light with organic matter, biomolecules, redox-active minerals, and microorganisms.
