This study investigated the effect of the different initial concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on its degradation in water matrix using UV/H2O2 and on the formation of reaction intermediates or products. Simulated PCB-contaminated water solution was subjected to irradiation with 17 W...
