In previous studies on TCE and PCE photolysis and photochemical degradation, concentration ranges exceeding environmental levels by far with millimolar concentrations of TCE and PCE have been used, and it is not clear if the obtained results can be used to explain the degradation of these contaminants at more realistic environmental concentration levels.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Experiments with micromolar concentrations of TCE and PCE in aqueous solution using direct photolysis and UV\/H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> have been conducted and product formation as well as transformation efficiency have been investigated.

However chloroacetaldehyde and chloroacetic acid were only detected during direct UV photolysis of TCE and oxalic acid was only formed during the UV\/H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> process. For PCE photodegradation, formic acid, di- and trichloroacetic acids were detected in both UV and UV\/H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> systems, but formaldehyde and glyoxylic acid were only detected during direct UV photolysis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>For water treatment UV\/H<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> seems to be favorable over direct UV photolysis because of its higher degradation efficiency and lower risk for the formation of harmful intermediates.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/2052-336x-12-16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,8]],"date-time":"2014-01-08T12:01:57Z","timestamp":1389182517000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Transformation efficiency and formation of transformation products during photochemical degradation of TCE and PCE at micromolar concentrations"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sina","family":"Dobaradaran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holger","family":"Lutze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amir Hossein","family":"Mahvi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Torsten C","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"5042_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1021\/es061553y","volume":"41","author":"MJ Moran","year":"2007","unstructured":"Moran MJ, Zogorski JS, Squillace PJ: Chlorinated solvents in groundwater of the United States.
