In the last few decades, pharmaceuticals, credited with saving millions of lives, have
emerged as a new class of environmental contaminant. These compounds can have both …

Pharmaceuticals are globally consumed by humans and animals to support daily health and
to treat disease. Following consumption, they may reach the aquatic environment either …

Degradation and mineralization of ibuprofen (IBU) were investigated using Ultraviolet (UV)
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in TiO 2 photocatalysis. Samples of ultrapure water (UP) and a …

The widespread occurrence of tetracycline (TC) in the aquatic environment poses a potential
risk to aquatic ecosystem and human health. In this study, elimination of TC by photolysis …

The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from effluent organic matter (EfOM) was
investigated under simulated solar irradiation. In this study, EfOM was isolated into three …

This study explores ibuprofen (IBP) uptake and transformation in the wetland plant species
Phragmites australis and the underlying mechanisms. We grew P. australis in perlite under …

Abstract Carbonate radical (CO 3∙-) is an abundant reactive oxygen species in sunlit surface
waters and radical-based treatment systems. The roles of this kosmotropic radical in these …

This study evaluates the UV/H 2 O 2 and UV/S 2 O 8 2−(UV/PS) processes as alternative
methods for the removal of ibuprofen (IBF) from wastewater destined for treatment and …

In the past few years, the fate and transportation of pharmaceutically active compounds
(PhACs) in aqueous environments have raised significant concerns among the public …

This work presents a critical assessment of the state and quality of knowledge around the
aquatic photochemistry of human-and veterinary-use pharmaceuticals from laboratory …
