Low-molecular-weight organic acids have significant influence on PAHs photolysis.
Chelating ability of LMWOAs with Fe are critical to their roles in Phe photolysis.
Presence of oxalic and malic acids favor Phe photodegradation on Fe(III)–clay.
EDTA or nitrilotriacetic acid inhibits both Fe(II) formation and Phe photolysis.
