Interference of dissolved organic matter and its constituents on the accurate determination of hydrogen peroxide in water

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is ubiquitous in natural waters, and plays an important role in both biological and chemical processes. This study investigated the influence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its substituents on the accurate measurement of H2O2 by peroxidase-mediated depletion...
