Solar/TiO^sub 2^ photocatalytic decomposition of [Beta]-blockers atenolol and propranolol in water and wastewater
(2011)
The photocatalytic conversion of two &beta
Transformation products and reaction pathways of carbamazepine during photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic treatment
(2013)
•Degradation of CBZ during US, TiO2/UV and TiO2/UV/US processes has been evaluated.•The combined TiO2/UV/US oxidation resulted in significant enhancement of the CBZ degradation rate.•Transformation products were identified ...
Kinetic and mechanism investigation on the photochemical degradation of atrazine with activated H2O2, S2O82− and HSO5−
(2014)
•Degradation of atrazine was investigated in UV, UV/H2O2, UV/HSO5− and UV/S2O82− AOPs.•UV/S2O82− process was found to be more efficient as well as more economical.•The pH affected UV/S2O82− but had no significant influence ...
Stress-related phenomena and detoxification mechanisms induced by common pharmaceuticals in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants
(2016)
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) have been recently shown to exert phytotoxic effects. The present study explores the uptake, systemic translocation, and abiotic stress responses and detoxification mechanisms ...
Assessing the potential of pharmaceuticals and their transformation products to cause mutagenic effects: Implications for gene expression profiling
(2016)
The selection and prioritization of pharmaceuticals and their transformation products for evaluating effects on the environment and human health is a challenging task. One common approach is based on compounds (e.g., mixture ...
Chronic ecotoxic effects to Pseudomonas putida and Vibrio fischeri, and cytostatic and genotoxic effects to the hepatoma cell line (HepG2) of ofloxacin photo(cata)lytically treated solutions
(2013)
Ofloxacin (OFL), a broad-spectrum and widespread-used photolabile fluoroquinolone, is frequently found in treated wastewaters, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems leading to increasing concern during the past decades regarding ...
