AbstractHydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is ubiquitous in natural waters, and plays an important role in both biological and chemical processes. This study investigated the influence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its substituents on the accurate measurement of H2O2 by peroxidase-mediated depletion of scopoletin fluorescence method which is one of the most widely used methods for the determination of low concentration H2O2 in water. Six DOM and its 24 substituents interfered the determination of H2O2 at environmentally relevant concentration of 200 nM with different levels except 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone and benzoic acid, which may be associated with origin and types of DOM, and numbers and position of active functional groups in DOM constituents. Each substance concentration and the corresponding decreasing ratio to the measured H2O2 concentration was fitted well to the linear model (R2 > 0.9), and the obtained interfering ratios (k, (mgC L−1)−1), expressing the degree of DOM or its substituents per unit concentration to the measurement of H2O2, were approximate for DOM, but the order of magnitude of k values of DOM constituents took on a large span from 10–3 to 10–7. When DOM levels exceed 0.1 mgC L−1 or its substituent concentration is at nM level (low to 20 nM), the H2O2 content will be underestimated substantially. A quantitative structure–activity relationship model with remarkable stability and strong predictability for the k of DOM substituents to H2O2 measurement was established, and the k was related to the electron transfer capacity, hydrophobicity and stability of these compounds.

The main objective of the present study is to test various methods for describing the absorption spectra of coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and to determine the numerical values of some optical parameters of CDOM in lakes with diverse water quality. First, the parameters of an exponential model in different spectral intervals were determined. In addition, the suitability of some other models for the approximation of CDOM spectra was estimated. Specific absorption coefficients of CDOM were calculated from the absorption coefficients and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations. The experimental initial data were differences between spectral attenuation coefficients of filtered and distilled water. Two datasets were used: 1) for 13 Estonian and 7 Finnish lakes (altogether 404 spectra between 350 and 700 nm) measured by the Estonian Marine Institute (EMI); 2) for 10 Finnish lakes (73 spectra) measured by the Finnish Environment Institute (FEI). The spectra of CDOM absorption coefficients (aCDOM) were calculated from experimental data taking into account the correction due to scattering properties of colloids in the filtered water. The total content of CDOM in natural waters of Estonian and Finnish lakes was expressed by means of aCDOM at the wavelength of 380 nm. It varied significantly, from 0.71 to 19.5 m−1, the mean value (of all the investigated lakes) being around 6.6 m−1. Slopes of the exponential approximation varied widely, from 0.006 to 0.03 nm−1. Averaged over all lakes values of slope for the interval 380-500 nm obtained from the EMI dataset are close to those obtained from the FEI dataset: from 0.014 nm−1 (without correction) to 0.016-0.017 nm-1 (with different types of correction). These results are in good correspondence with most published data. Attempts to describe the spectra in the region of 350-700 nm by means of hyperexponential functions (∽ exp(-αλη)) show that: (1) η < 1 (in the case of traditional exponential approximation η = 1); (2) a promising idea is to seek the best fit only for wavelengths λ > λ1, where λ1 will be chosen taking into account the real shape of aCDOM spectra. The mean value of the specific absorption coefficient (a*CDOM) at the wavelength 380 nm obtained in this study (0.44 L mg−1 m−1) is close to the values published in the literature, if we assume that a*CDOM (380) is calculated using the data of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The optically non-active fraction of DOM in our study was high and therefore a*CDOM (380) was considerably higher (1.01 L mg−1 m−1) than a*CDOM (380). The results of the present work could be used in the modeling of underwater light field as well as in the interpretation of radiation measurements and optical remote sensing results.
