摘要: Anticancer drugs are harmful substances that can have carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, genotoxic, and cytotoxic effects even at low concentrations. More than 50 years after its introduction, the alkylating agent cyclophosphamide (CP) is still one of most consumed anticancer drug worldwide. CP has been detected in water bodies several studies known as being persistent aquatic environment. As traditional wastewater treatment technologies not able to remove from water, different options such advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) under discussion eliminate these compounds. The present study investigated degradation by three AOPs: UV/H2O2, UV/Fe2+/H2O2 UV/TiO2. light source was a Hg medium-pressure lamp. Prescreening tests were carried out afterwards experiments based on optimized conditions performed. primary elimination parent compounds detection transformation products (TPs) monitored with LC–UV–MS/MS analysis, whereas degree mineralization measuring dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Ecotoxicological assays luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri. completely degraded all treatments fastest process, followed UV/H2O2 All reactions obeyed pseudo-first order kinetics. Considering UV/TiO2 efficient process degrees higher 85%, achieved 72.5% DOC removal. Five formed during identified. None them showed significant toxicity against V.
