Abstract
An effluent sample from a municipal wastewater treatment plant that re ceives a heavy loading from two textile dyeing facilities was tested f or a variety of photoeffects. Solar irradiation of solutions containin g the effluent produced evidence for sensitized formation of transient oxidants, primarily singlet oxygen; dye-sensitized photooxidation of several phenols; and photoinhibition of Escherichia coli.
