The transformation of phenol, resorcinol, pyrocatechol, and hydroquinone in water at concentrations of 10 –4 to 10 –6 M under short-term exposure to UV radiation was studied by fluorescence analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography. It was found that resorcinol is transformed by the action...
