Indirect photolysis induced by naturally occurring sensitizers constitutes an important
pathway accounting for the transformation and fate of many recalcitrant micropollutants in …

Ketoprofen (KTF) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug frequently detected in natural and
engineering waters. Because KTF is particularly photolabile (half-life∼ 4 min), knowledge of …

Pharmaceuticals are a group of ubiquitous emerging pollutants, many of which have been
shown to undergo efficient photolysis in the environment. Photochemically produced …

Photodegradation may be the most important elimination process for cephalosporin
antibiotics in surface water. Cefazolin (CFZ) and cephapirin (CFP) underwent mainly direct …

The present study comprehensively investigates the phototransformation and ecotoxicity of a
mixture of twelve pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) susceptible to photolysis …

Many fluoroquinolone (FLQ) antibiotics undergo rapid photodegradation in sunlit waters and
form multifaceted photo-products. The high photodegradation rate is primarily ascribed to …

Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) are widely used in medical treatments but
pose risks to ecosystems and human health when present in the environment …

In this work, the photochemistry of the antidepressant paroxetine (PXT) and its
photochemical fate in surface waters were investigated. The direct photolysis quantum yield …

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

Antibiotics in environment can be of concern as they can enter the food chain posing risks to
ecosystems and human health. Photodegradation has been considered as a promising way …
