Abstract
Several notes of significance may be made on the basis of these results. Firstly, an enhancement of the degradation, observed in the presence of co-absorbing dissolved organic matter, was shown to be proportional to the absorbance of the sample. Secondly, the kinetics of the process obtained during this investigation were within the range of previously reported findings, despite the fact that significantly higher concentrations of EE2 were used in earlier studies. Finally, the environmental half-life times for 17α-ethynyloestradiol, calculated from the results of the experiments, were found to be one and two days in the top layer of river and sea water respectively.
