Abstract
⺠Degradation of ibuprofen and ketoprofen was studied using UV and UV/VUV irradiation. ⺠Dissolved molecular oxygen changes the degradation mechanism of ibuprofen. ⺠The VUV irradiation accelerated the decomposition of ibuprofen only. ⺠Mineralization was about 60%, suggesting formation of stable aliphatic by-products. ⺠New by-products were identified using GC-MS and HPLC-MS.
