PG - 58189-58199 LID - 10.1007/s11356-023-26178-z [doi] AB - An in vitro study was carried out to examine the impact of UV exposure on metal-dissolved humic material (M-DHM) complexes in aqueous systems at different pH. Complexation reactions of dissolved M (Cu, Ni, and Cd) with DHM increased with the increasing pH of the solution. Kinetically inert M-DHM complexes dominated at higher pH in the test solutions. Exposure to UV radiation did affect the chemical speciation of M-DHM complexes at different pH of the systems. The overall observation suggests that exposure to increasing UV radiation increased the lability, mobility, and bioavailability of M-DHM complexes in aquatic environments. The dissociation rate constant of Cu-DHM was found to be slower than Ni-DHM and Cd-DHM complexes (both before and after UV exposure). At a higher pH range, Cd-DHM complexes dissociated after exposure to UV radiation and a part of this dissociated Cd precipitated out from the system. No change in the lability of the produced Cu-DHM and Ni-DHM complexes after UV radiation exposure was observed. They did not appear to form new kinetically inert complexes even after 12 h of exposure. The outcome of this research has important global implications. The results of this study helped to understand DHM leachability from soil and its effect on dissolved metal concentrations in the Northern Hemisphere water bodies. The results of this study also facilitated to comprehend the fate of M-DHM complexes at photic depths (where pH changes are accompanied by high UV radiation exposure) in tropical marine/freshwater systems during summer.
