Popis:	The feasibility of environmental decontamination by photocatalysis was assessed by a ternary system organophosphate/fulvic acid/TiO2 simulating a common pesticide problem in aquatic systems. Fulvic acid was found to compete with the pesticide for the surface of the semiconductor particles under illumination substantially retarding the rate of degradation of the contaminant. Photocatalysed decomposition leading to bleaching of the fulvic acid by TiO2 illumination was also observed.
