  Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a popular active substance, which is extensively applied to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. Due to its widespread use, SMX enters the natural environment, where it can undergo degradation. Similarly to other emerging contaminants, SMX photodegradation and the use of oxidants in wastewater treatment processes can lead to the formation of potentially adverse transformation products for...

  Diclofenac (DCF), a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), poses environmental concerns due to its persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and transformation into toxic byproducts during oxidative and chlorination processes. This study investigated the photodegradation of DCF, both directly and in the presence of oxidants, to characterize the resulting...
