title: Humic substances mediated phototransformation of 2,4,6-trimethylphenol: a catalytic reaction.
abstract: Humic substances at a concentration of 0.42 mmol l(-1) of carbon are able to phototransform up to 0.68 mmol l(-1) of 2,4,6-trimethylphenol upon irradiation at 365 nm, which shows that a catalytic reaction is operating.
