Abstract
It is widely acknowledged that the majority of acute environmental issues can be attributed directly to human activity. Since the inception of human settlements, the production of waste has been a common occurrence. In addition to the production of natural waste products, the advent of the Industrial Revolution has resulted in a significant increase in the generation of artificial waste. It is therefore imperative, from an environmental standpoint, to implement effective measures to reduce these pollutants. One method of reducing the impact of organic environmental pollutants is to photochemically convert them with europium, particularly trivalent europium. As demonstrated in this proof of concept using a range of model pollutants, it is possible to break down environmentally relevant pollutants, including nitriles, carbamates and halogenated compounds, with trivalent europium salts into environmentally friendly organic compounds.
