The photolysis and Penicillium tardum H‐2 degradation of p ‐cresol in water containing humic acids was investigated by fluorescence and bioluminescence methods. Humic acids extracted from peat (the Vasuygan bog, Tomsk region of Russia) induce the phototransformation of p ‐cresol. The influence of humic acids on the phototransformation of p ‐cresol under different irradiation conditions was investigated. Comparison of the data on the KrCl* ( λ = 222 nm) and XeCl* ( λ = 308 nm) excilamps light showed that the most effective p ‐cresol degradation was observed with mercury lamp irradiation in the presence of humic acids.
