Outline of Research at the Start

Organic micropollutants like herbicides have been detected in reservoirs including Japan. Since reservoir is closely related to human health, it is important to know their persistence. Our study focus on indirect photolysis of pollutants in reservoirs which help us know the persistence of pollutants

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

The proposed goals have been finished well. The results have been published on six peer-reviewed journals including four top journals and presented on three conferences (both domestic and international).
50 dam reservoirs have been sampled in Japan. Bulk water property has been characterized including pH, total organic carbon concentration, inorganic ions, conductivity, salinity, optical property.
Meanwhile, quantum yield for production of singlet oxygen and excited triplet of dissolved organic matter were determined using steady-state photochemical experiments. Validated prediction models (linear and machine-learning based) have been developed using water property to estimate the quantum yield . The models can be finally used to estimate photodegradation rate of pollutants in reservoirs.
