Abstract

Solutions of 10 ppm trichloroethylene in air-saturated drinking waters are decomposed by γ radiation with initial G-values, G 0, around 3–5 molecules per 100 eV. At lower concentrations, the G 0-values decrease with decreasing trichloroethylene concentration and with increasing amounts of inorganic (especially HCO 3 − and NO 3 −) and organic solutes. From the results, a semi-empirical formula is derived which allows an estimation of G 0-values for the trichloroethylene decomposition in drinking waters of given composition.
