Abstract The three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum has a significant amount of information than the single-stage scanning fluorescence spectrum. At the same time, the parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis and neural network method can help explore the fluorescence characteristics further, thus could be used to analyse multiple sets of three-dimensional matrix data. In this study, the PARAFAC analysis and the self-organizing mapping (SOM) neural network method are firstly introduced comprehensively. They are then adopted to extract information of the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum data set for fluorescence characteristics analysis of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Taihu Lake water. Forty water samples with DOM species were taken from different seasons with the fluorescence information obtained through the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum analysis, PARAFAC analysis and SOM analysis. The PARAFAC analysis results indicated that the main fluorescence components of dissolved organic matter in Taihu Lake water were aromatic proteins, fulvic acids, and dissolved microorganisms. While the SOM analysis results exhibited that the fluorescence characteristics of the dissolved organics in Taihu Lake varied seasonally. Therefore, the combined method of the three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum analysis, PARAFAC and SOM analysis can provide important information for the characterization of the fluorescence properties of dissolved organic matter in surface water bodies.

Environmental context. Nitrite is an important nutrient in surface waters, a key intermediate in the interconversion of nitrate into ammonium, and a considerable photochemical source of reactive species such as the hydroxyl radical. We have found that scavengers of hydroxyl radicals such as dissolved organic matter, which are usually supposed to inhibit the photodegradation of dissolved compounds, are able on the contrary to enhance the phototransformation of nitrite. The three weeks’ lifetime of nitrite in the surface layer of lakes, derived from the results of the present work, would make photochemistry an important issue in determining the concentration of nitrite in lake water. Abstract. Here we studied the degradation rate of nitrite (NO2–), added to lake water at sub-micromolar levels, upon ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. NO2– photodegradation was considerably faster in lake water compared with ultra-pure water. A key issue was the presence in lake water of hydroxyl radical (•OH) scavengers that inhibited the reaction between NO2– and •OH. Such a reaction, while causing additional NO2– transformation, produced nitrogen dioxide (NO2•) that was subsequently involved into the regeneration of NO2– by dimerisation or the reaction with nitric oxide (NO•). The scavenging of •OH by compounds different from NO2– (mainly dissolved organic matter, DOM) prevented the regeneration reactions from taking place, and enhanced the phototransformation of NO2–. Model calculations for the direct photolysis of NO2–, applied to the lake water samples, yielded a NO2– half-life time of around three weeks in the mixing layer of the lakes because of photodegradation. Therefore, we conclude that photodegradation is a potentially important process to control the concentration of NO2– in shallow lakes, or in deeper ones under stratification conditions.
