ABSTRACT:
A method for destruction of toxic compounds through direct ultraviolet irradiation. Continuum UV radiation from the deep region of the spectrum is applied to the target medium in pulsed fashion with a specified range of power ratios and average power. Enhanced destruction of undesirable toxins is achieved when the ratio of rms power to average power falls in characteristic range of 50:1 to 200:1; the ratio of peak power to average power falls in the characteristic range of 1000:1 to 10,000:1; and the average power density is maintained at least at a value of about 0.5 Watt/cm.sup.2 within the carrier medium.
