Abstract

Environmental context The environmental fate of a particular contaminant can be influenced by the presence of other chemicals. It is shown that the photodegradation in water of benzotriazole, a common household and industrial chemical, is reduced in the presence of a sunscreen compound. Thus, contaminants such as benzotriazole may persist longer in the environment in the presence of chemicals designed to filter ultraviolet rays, such as those used in sunscreens. Abstract The presence of co-solutes (e.g. UV filters) can potentially influence the environmental fate of micropollutants. The photolysis of benzotriazole (BT, an anticorrosion agent) and benzophenone-3 (BP-3, a UV filter), as well as their interactions in aqueous solutions under UV and artificial solar light with or without added humic acid (HA) and metal ions (Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ ), has been investigated. BT was found to be photosensitive under UV irradiation, but photostable under solar light. The half-lives for the photolysis of BT were 2.8 h in pure aqueous solution and increasing to 4.5 h in the presence of BP-3 (1.0 mg L –1 ). BP-3 was photostable under both UV and artificial solar light. Solar radiation exposure of 50 days resulted in a small loss of BP-3 (8 %) in pure aqueous solution, and resulted in a greater loss of BP-3 (up to 31 %) at 50 mg L –1 of HA.
