The present manuscript is a conceptual review concerning the photo-Fenton reaction at near-
neutral pH, used for bacterial inactivation. In this first Part, an overview of the mechanisms …

The composition and dynamics of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in natural
waters has been the subject of study for decades. However, renewed interest in CDOM …

Natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic systems plays many environmental roles:
providing building blocks and energy for aquatic biota, acting as a sunscreen in surface …

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is a ubiquitous component of the open
ocean dissolved matter pool, and is important owing to its influence on the optical properties …

Photobleaching of open-ocean dissolved organic matter (DOM) is typically treated as a
removal mechanism; however, photobleaching also encompasses a poorly characterized …

Photosynthetic production of organic matter by microscopic oceanic phytoplankton fuels
ocean ecosystems and contributes roughly half of the Earth's net primary production. For …

One of the major challenges in understanding the dynamics of the ocean's health and
functioning is the potential impact of the increasing presence of plastic. Besides the verified …

Optical measurements within both the visible and near ultraviolet (UV) parts of the spectrum
(305–750 nm) were recently made in hyperoligotrophic waters in the South Pacific gyre …

Oceanographic cruises were conducted within the US Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) to collect
field measurements to develop algorithms to retrieve surface ocean colored dissolved …

Fluorescent dissolved organic matter (DOM), a fraction of chromophoric DOM, is known to
be produced in the deep ocean and is considered to be bio-refractory. However, the factors …
