The fluorescence decay rates of samples of dissolved organic matter of marine and terrestrial origin have been measured. The lifetimes were all closely similar (2-2.4 ns) despite their widely different origins and histories. Implications of this similarity to other physical and chemical properties of humlc/fulvlc substances Is discussed as Is the Interpretation of the deactivation pathways of the excited states of marine chromophores.
