Abstract

I am delighted to present to you the Themed Issue on Aquatic Photochemistry in Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, for which I served as the Guest Editor. This issue contains 20 invited contributions that represent both the excitement and breadth of current aquatic photochemical research. The 16 research articles and 4 critical reviews in this issue cover a diverse range of topics and sub-disciplines within environmental science, showcasing photochemistry's centrality as a driver in natural systems. At the same time, the contributions nicely highlight ES:P&I's clear focus on environmental processes, a fact underscored by its name change from Journal of Environmental Monitoring just over one year ago. The four critical reviews contained in this issue reect two major themes found in the research articles: organic mattersensitized formation of photochemically produced reactive species (PPRIs) and the photochemistry of anthropogenic compounds. Charlie Sharpless and Neil Blough (DOI: 10.1039/c3em00573a) take up the rst topic in their review on the possible involvement of charge transfer states in the photochemistry of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM). Reviews by Christy Remucal, Weihua Song and Charles Wong discuss different
