    Abstract

    This dissertation presents the phototransformation of selected antibiotics (fluoroquinolone and sulphonamide) and dissolved natural organic matter in sunlit waters under controlled laboratory experimental conditions. It contributes to a better understanding of the photochemical fate of these antibiotics in the aquatic environment, the transient nature of fluoroquinolones, characterisation of dissolved organic matter and its chemical transformation under sunlight irradiation. The results of this work have significant implications for water quality and biogeochemistry of aquatic systems.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
