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 …

One goal of this review is to bring out that the chemical enterprise needs to work to reduce
society's uncertainties with respect to the safety of persistent or pseudopersistent …

The applications of fluorine in drug design continue to expand, facilitated by an improved
understanding of its effects on physicochemical properties and the development of synthetic …

This work evaluated different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) operated at pilot-scale
as tertiary treatment of municipal wastewater in terms of energy efficiency, disinfection by …

The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in source waters is increasing. Although UV advanced
oxidation is known to be an effective barrier against micropollutants, degradation rates are …

Photochemical degradation contributes to the environmental fate of many pesticides in
surface waters. A better understanding of the role of direct and indirect photochemical …

This work critically compared the removal of fluorescing PARAFAC components and
selected pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine, fluoxetine, gemfibrozil, primidone …

This paper presents an evaluation of UV/PAA process for degradation of four
pharmaceuticals venlafaxine (VEN), sulfamethoxazole (SFX), fluoxetine (FLU) and …

The photodegradation of carbamazepine was studied in artificial estuarine water, under
conditions relevant to the Rhône delta. Chloride substantially enhances the …

Recent detection of fluoxetine in the aquatic environment and fish suggests a possibly high
accumulation of fluoxetine; however, no report is available on the bioaccumulation of …
