Background: Nitrate is a widespread contaminant of drinking water, but its potential health
effects are unclear. In the body, nitrate is reduced to nitrite, which can react with amines and …

This review describes the reaction mechanisms of nitrate and nitrite ions, which play a role
in the photochemical processes occurring in natural waters and in atmospheric aerosols …

One of the concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of ultraviolet radiation for treatment of
drinking water and wastewater is the fate of nitrate, particularly its photolysis to nitrite. In this …

In this study, we reveal the capacity of imidacloprid (a neonicotinoid insecticide) to
photoinduce the nitration and nitrosation of three aromatic probes (phenol, resorcinol, and …

This paper studies the pH effect on the photonitration of catechol, 1-naphthol, naphthalene,
and benzene. The pH trend is influenced by the generation of HNO2 and peroxynitrous acid …

The ether extract from the pyrene suspended in water containing nitrite ion, which was
irradiated with a high-pressure mercury lamp, exhibited strong mutagenicity toward S …

Photochemical reaction of biphenyl with nitrate and nitrite in aqueous solution was
investigated using two light sources, ie, high-pressure mercury lamps fitted with a quartz …

Nine amino acids, ie, alanine, threonine, cysteine, glutamic acid, arginine, proline,
tryptophan, phenylalanine and tyrosine, were irradiated with UV light in water containing …

From the photoreaction products of biphenyl in aqueous nitrate solution, the following eight
hydroxynitrobiphenyls were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and thin layer …
