Hydrogen peroxide production in marine bathing waters: Implications for fecal indicator bacteria mortality

Hydrogen peroxide concentrations [H2O2] have been measured over the last two decades in multiple studies in surface waters in coastal, estuarine and oceanic systems. Diurnal cycles consistent with a photochemical production process have frequently being observed, with [H2O2] increasing by two orders...

Description
Summary:Hydrogen peroxide concentrations [H2O2] have been measured over the last two decades in multiple studies in surface waters in coastal, estuarine and oceanic systems. Diurnal cycles consistent with a photochemical production process have frequently being observed, with [H2O2] increasing by two orders of magnitude over the course of the day, from low nM levels in the early morning to 102nM in late afternoon. Production rates range from
