Book excerpt: The research described in this report focused on the photolysis of a chemical substance giving a linear relation between the formation level of the photo product and the applied dose. Objectives were to: develop an online fluence meter based on a Uvsensitive chemical for which the formation level of the photo product has a clear relation with the applied UV dose, and to find naturally occurring substances or chemicals to be dosed that would be sensitive towards UVC light (200-285 nm) and would give accurately measurable photo products in the 0-1,000 J/m2 dose range. Based on an initial study, nitrate as a naturally occurring compound and the ferric ion/ ferrous ion (Fe3+/Fe2+) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)/benzoate systems as chemicals to be dosed were selected for further research.
