In the abstract, the concentrations of starch and humic acids were interchanged. It should have read:

Starch solution (8 mg dm−3) was irradiated with simulated solar UV radiation with and without addition of Aldrich humic acids (4 mg dm−3). Quantitative analysis of the photodegradation products revealed enhanced release of monosaccharides in the presence of humic substances.
