Superoxide ( O2− ) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is primarily produced by the one‐electron transfer of photooxidized chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) to O2 in sunlit natural waters. Here we examine the environmental and chemical parameters (pH, ionic strength, buffer, and halides) that may influence O2− photochemical production rates and decay pathways in natural water. Using the enzyme superoxide dismutase and H2O2 measurements, we present results from an irradiated freshwater CDOM source indicating that O2− reductive decay pathways (P/PSOD) dominate with increased pH and NaCl additions and maximal photoproduction rates ( RO2− ) increase with carbonate compared to borate buffer. Over 2 h of irradiation, a significant decline in RO2− was seen for all samples along with a minor increase in oxidative pathways. These results imply shifts in O2− decay pathways and production rates that seem to vary across natural waters and as a function of irradiation history.
