| Abstract |
Laser flash photolysis was used to investigate the transients formed on absorption of 355-nm light by dissolved organic matter (DOM) from natural water bodies and from soil. Absorption spectra and quenching studies of the transients provided confirming evidence that hydrated electrons were formed by all of the DOM that were studied. The DOM from the Suwannee River in Georgia and from the Greifensee, a Swiss lake, exhibited great variability in light-absorbing properties. Despite the high variability in absorption coefficients, the primary quantum yields for electron ejection from the Greifensee and Suwanee DOM fell in a narrow range (0.005-0.008).
