Abstract
N-Nitrosodimethylamine is potentially carcinogenic to humans. Herein, the effect of wavelength on the UV-degradation of N-nitrosodimethylamine is reported. Medium pressure UV lamp light was filtered by four optical filters and compared with low pressure UV. The degradation rate was the highest in the 230–270 nm wavelength range (7.2 cm2/J) and was nearly three times greater than that observed with low-pressure UV (2.6 cm2/J). Quantum yield was calculated to be 0.42, 1.5 times higher than that observed with low-pressure UV (0.28). Shorter wavelength range light was more effective due to the higher absorption coefficient and quantum yield.
