Abstract— β‐Carotene, at concentrations 0.1 mM, inhibits the formation of hydroperoxides and other oxidation products in a refined petroleum oil exposed to Pyrex‐filtered UV. The effect appears to be due to 1O2 quenching. A mechanism incorporating 1O2 and radical processes is proposed as a model for environmental photooxidation of petroleum.
