We studied that solar UV can destroy dissolved organic matter that hinders voltammetric determination by either complexing the metal ions or by interacting with the electrode materials and optimized time required for Solar UV irradiation at a given UV intensity such as mid-latitude (Europe) or tropical regions such as Africa.
