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 ...
Degradation of diclofenac by TiO2 photocatalysis: UV absorbance kinetics and process evaluation through a set of toxicity bioassays
(2009)
In the present study the degradation kinetics and mineralization of diclofenac (DCF) by the TiO2 photocatalysis were investigated in terms of UV absorbance and COD measurements for a wide range of initial DCF concentrations ...
Analytical methods for tracing pharmaceutical residues in water and wastewater
(2007)
The focus of environmental analysis and determination of chemicals in the environment has recently been extended from the more classical pollutants to new contaminant categories including pharmaceuticals. This is attributed ...
The risks associated with wastewater reuse and xenobiotics in the agroecological environment [electronic resource]
(2011)
Treated wastewater reuse for irrigation, landscape and surface or groundwater replenishment purposes is being widely implemented. Although the reuse practice is accompanied by a number of benefits relating to the enhancement ...
