Abstract
The photochemical stability of aqueous solutions of humic acids (HA) extracted from black soil and from solonetz soil from different depth R is studied by means of luminescence for the first time. It is shown that the photochemical activity of both HA samples extracted from the sub-surface soil layers is higher. The method of photochemical probing is concluded to have advantages over other methods for discrimination of the sorts of HA molecules.
