THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 944:173969. [PMID: 38876336 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is the more photoactive component of dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool, which plays a dual role in the photoconversion of aquatic contaminants, acting as both a photosensitizer and an inhibitor. However, little is known about the more systematic mechanism by which DBC exhibits a dual effect, which is closely related to the structure composition of DBC. In this study, the differences in characteristics of DBC obtained from 300 °C and 500 °C were compared via UV-vis absorption spectrum, Fluorescence excitation emission matrix spectra (3D-EEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and evaluated the promoting and inhibiting effects of DBC on ofloxacin (OFL) photodegradation. It was found that higher pyrolysis temperature reduced the UV absorbance, molecular weight, aromaticity, and phenolics of DBC while increasing the content of quinone/aromatic ketone and humic substances. Photochemical data showed that 3DBC*, 1O2 and ·OH were all participated in the DBC-mediated OFL photodegradation. Wherein, DBC300 (DBCT, where T = pyrolysis temperature) had strong light screening and dynamic quenching effect, but the formation ability of 3DBC*, 1O2 and ·OH was poor, which significantly retarded the photodegradation of OFL. While DBC500 exhibited a slight promotion effect due to its higher formation ability of reactive species and weak light screening effect. Moreover, DBC500 had higher steady-state concentration and (kOFL,3DBC⁎) than DBC300, which might be due to the higher contents of quinone/aromatic ketone and the lower contents of phenol in DBC500, thus enhancing the reactivity of 3DBC* and OFL. Our research systematically revealed the trade-off mechanism of DBC on the photodegradation of fluoroquinolones, and provided an important theoretical guidance for the photodegradation of fluoroquinolones under the evolution of DBC composition.

Abstract
Naturally strong ultraviolet irradiation at high altitudes causes photobleaching of plateau lake DOM (P-DOM) and affects its photochemical activity. However, the photoreactivity of P-DOM has remained unclear under natural photobleaching condition. Here, six P-DOM samples isolated from plateau lakes in Yunnan Province, China as well as two reference DOM as comparisons were used to explore the photogeneration of reactive species (RS) and their effects on 17β-estradiol photodegradation. Compared with SRHA/SRFA, P-DOM has lower aromaticity, average molecular weight, and electron-donating capacity. The quantum yields of triplet state P-DOM (3P-DOM*), 1O2, and ∙OH produced in P-DOM solutions were greatly higher than those of reference DOM. The RS quantum yields had positive linear correlations with E2/E3 and SR, whereas were negatively linear correlated with SUVA25. Radical quenching experiments showed that 3P-DOM* was the prominent RS for 17β-estradiol photodegradation, and its contribution exceeded 70% for each of P-DOM. 3P-DOM*-mediated photodegradation was mainly attributed to the electron-transfer reactions with an average second-order rate constant of 4.62 × 109 M-1s-1, indicating the strong photoreactivity towards 17β-estradiol. These findings demonstrate that P-DOM is an efficient photosensitizer for RS production, among which 3P-DOM* may play an important role in enhanced photodegradation for organic micropollutants in plateau lake enriched with DOM.

Abstract
The antiviral drugs favipiravir and oseltamivir are widely used to treat viral infections, including coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), and their levels are expected to increase in the aquatic environment. In this study, the potential toxic and teratogenic effects of these drugs were evaluated using the frog embryo teratogenesis assay Xenopus (FETAX). In addition, glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase, carboxylesterase (CaE), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme activities and malondialdehyde levels were measured as biochemical markers in embryos and tadpoles for comparative assessment of the sublethal effects of the test compounds. Prior to embryo exposure, drug concentrations in the exposure medium were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography. The 96-h median lethal concentration (LC50) was 137.9 and 32.3 mg/L for favipiravir and oseltamivir, respectively. The teratogenic index for favipiravir was 4.67. Both favipiravir and oseltamivir inhibited GR, CaE, and AChE activities in embryos, while favipiravir increased the GST and CaE activities in tadpoles. In conclusion, favipiravir, for which teratogenicity data are available in mammalian test organisms and human teratogenicity is controversial, inhibited Xenopus laevis embryo development and was teratogenic. In addition, sublethal concentrations of both drugs altered the biochemical responses in embryos and tadpoles, with differences between the developmental stages.

Abstract
The presence of residual antibiotics in the environment is a prominent issue. Photodegradation behavior is an important way of antibiotics reduction, which is closely related to dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water. The review provides an overview of the latest advancements in the field. Classification, characterization of DOM, and the dominant mechanisms for antibiotic photodegradation were discussed. Furthermore, it summarized and compared the effects of DOM on different antibiotics photodegradation. Moreover, the review comprehensively considered the factors influencing the photodegradation of antibiotics in the aquatic environment, including the characteristics of light, temperature, dosage of DOM, concentration of antibiotics, solution pH, and the presence of coexisting ions. Finally, potential directions were proposed for the development of predictive models for the photodegradation of antibiotics. Based on the review of existing literature, this paper also considered several pathways for the future study of antibiotic photodegradation. This study allows for a better understanding of the DOM's environmental role and provides important new insights into the photochemical fate of antibiotics in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals are widely used and often discharged without metabolism into the aquatic systems. The photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical compounds propranolol, mebeverine, and carbamazepine was studied using different titanium dioxide nanostructures suspended in water under UV and UV-visible irradiation. Among three different photocatalysts, the degradation was most effective by using Degussa P25 TiO2, followed by Hombikat UV100 and Aldrich TiO2. The photocatalytic performance was dependent on photocatalyst dosage, with an optimum concentration of 150 mg L-1. The natural aquatic colloids were shown to enhance the extent of photocatalysis, and the effect was correlated with their aromatic carbon content. In addition, the photocatalysis of pharmaceuticals was enhanced by the presence of nitrate, but inhibited by the presence of 2-propanol, indicating the importance of hydroxyl radicals. Under optimum conditions, the pharmaceuticals were rapidly degraded, with a half-life of 1.9 min, 2.1 min, and 3.2 min for propranolol, mebeverine, and carbamazepine, respectively. In treating sewage effluent samples, the photocatalytic rate constants for propranolol (0.28 min-1), mebeverine (0.21 min-1), and carbamazepine (0.15 min-1) were similar to those in water samples, demonstrating the potential of photocatalysis as a clean technology for the effective removal of pharmaceuticals from sewage effluent.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) is a toxic substance that poses a serious ecological threat when released into the environment. The species and redox state of Sb determine its environmental toxicity and fate. Understanding the redox transformations and biogeochemical cycling of Sb is crucial for analyzing and predicting its environmental behavior. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the environment greatly affects the fate of Sb. Microbially produced DOM is a vital component of environmental DOM; however, its specific role in Sb(III) oxidation has not been experimentally confirmed. In this work, the oxidation capacity of several Shewanella strains and their derived DOM to Sb(III) was confirmed. The oxidation rate of Sb(III) shows a positive correlation with DOM concentration, with higher rates observed under neutral and weak alkaline conditions, regardless of the presence of light. Incubation experiments indicated that extracellular enzymes and common reactive oxygen species were not involved in the oxidation of Sb(III). Characteristics of DOM suggests that microbial humic acid-like and fulvic acid-like substances are the potential contributors to Sb(III) oxidation. These findings not only experimentally validate the role of bacterial-derived DOM in Sb(III) oxidation but also reveal the significance of Shewanella and biogenic DOM in the biogeochemical cycling of Sb.

Abstract
Man-made reservoirs are important for human daily lives and offer different functions, however they are contaminated due to anthropogenic activities. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from each reservoir is unique in composition, which further determines its photo-reactivity. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the photo-reactivity of reservoir DOM in terms of the quantum yield for photo-production of singlet oxygen (Ф1O2). We sampled surface water of 50 reservoirs in Japan and determined their Ф1O2 using simulated sunlight together with bulk water analysis. Their Ф1O2 ranged from 1.46 × 10-2 to 6.21 × 10-2 (mean, 2.55 × 10-2), which was identical to those of lakes and rivers reported in the literature, but lower than those of wetland water and wastewater. High-energy triplet-state of DOM accounted for 59.4% of the 1O2 production in the reservoir water on average. Among the bulk water properties, the spectral slope of wavelength from 350 to 400 nm (S350-400) was statistically detected as the most important predictor for Ф1O2. Furthermore, the multiple linear regression model employed S350-400 and the biological index as predictors with no intercorrelations and reasonable accuracy (r2 = 0.86), while the random forest model showed a better accuracy (r2 = 0.90). Overall, these major findings are beneficial for understanding the photo-reactivity of reservoir waters.

Abstract
Indomethacin (INDO) is an antipyretic and analgesic pharmaceutical that has been widely detected in the aquatic environment. Photodegradation is an essential pathway for removal of INDO in sunlit surface water, however the effect of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on its photodegradation and the ecotoxicity of photodegradation products are largely unknown. In this study, the effect of DOM on the photodegradation of INDO under both natural and simulated light irradiation was studied. The results showed that indirect photolysis is the main photodegradation pathway of INDO in presence of DOM where 3DOM* plays the most important promoting role. Compared to commercial DOM (SRNOM and SRFA), DOM extracted from local-lake water (SLDOM) promoted the photodegradation to the highest extent. Although the steady-state concentrations of 3DOM* of SRNOM and SRFA were higher than SLDOM, their inhibition effect surpassed SLDOM namely higher light screening effect and phenolic antioxidant concentrations. The photodegradation pathway in pure water is different from that in DOM system where the decarboxylation of acetic acid chain and the oxidative fracture of indole ring are the main degradation pathways. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation further supports the proposed degradation pathways of INDO. ECOSAR calculation showed that the toxicity of INDO photodegradation products to aquatic organisms may maintain or even exceed its parent compound. Therefore, comprehensive understanding of the impact of DOM on the photodegradation of INDO is of crucial significance for evaluating its ecological risk in the natural environment.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) widely exists in aquatic environment and plays a critical role in environmental photochemical reaction. The photochemical behaviors of DOM in sunlit surface waters have received widely attention because its photochemical effects for some coexisted substances in aquatic environment, especially for organic micropollutants degradation. Therefore, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the photochemical properties and environmental effects of DOM, we reviewed the influence of sources on the structure and composition of DOM with relevant identified techniques to analysis functional groups. Additionally, identification and quantification for reactive intermediates are discussed with a focus on influencing factors to produce reactive intermediates by DOM under solar irradiation. These reactive intermediates can promote the photodegradation of organic micropollutants in the environmental system. In future, attention should be paid to the photochemical properties of DOM and environmental effects in real environmental system and development of advanced techniques to study DOM.

Abstract
This study investigated the indirect photodegradation of sulfadimidine (SM2) and sulfapyridine (SP) in the presence of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and studied the influences of main marine factors (salinity, pH, NO3- and HCO3-). Reactive intermediate (RI) trapping experiments demonstrated that triplet CDOM (3CDOM*) played a major role in the photodegradation of SM2 with a 58% photolysis contribution, and the contributions to the photolysis of SP were 32%, 34% and 34% for 3CDOM*, hydroxyl radical (HO·) and singlet oxygen (1O2), respectively. Among the four CDOMs, JKHA, with the highest fluorescence efficiency, exhibited the fastest rate of SM2 and SP photolysis. The CDOMs were composed of one autochthonous humus (C1) and two allochthonous humus (C2 and C3). C3, with the strongest fluorescence intensity, had the strongest capacity to generate RIs and accounted for approximately 22%, 11%, 9% and 38% of the total fluorescence intensity of SRHA, SRFA, SRNOM and JKHA, respectively, indicating the predominance of CDOM fluorescent components in the indirect photodegradation of SM2 and SP. These results demonstrated the photolysis mechanism: The photosensitization of CDOM occurred after its fluorescence intensity decreased, and a large number of RIs (3CDOM*, HO· and 1O2, etc.) were generated by energy and electron transfer, then these RIs reacted with SM2 and SP to cause photolysis. The increase in salinity stimulated the photolysis of SM2 and SP consecutively. The photodegradation rate of SM2 first increased and then decreased with increasing pH, whereas the photolysis of SP was remarkably promoted by high pH but remained stable at low pH. NO3- and HCO3- had little effect on the indirect photodegradation of SM2 and SP. This research may contribute to a better understanding of the fate of SM2 and SP in the ocean and provide new insights into the transformation of other sulfonamides (SAs) in marine ecological environments.

Using the end-member mixing model to evaluate biogeochemical reactivities of dissolved organic matter (DOM): autochthonous versus allochthonous origins. WATER RESEARCH 2023; 232:119644. [PMID: 36736245 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an essential component of environmental systems. It usually originates from two end-members, including allochthonous and autochthonous sources. Previously, links have been established between DOM origins/sources and its biogeochemical reactivities. However, the influence of changes in DOM characteristics driven by end-member mixing on DOM biogeochemical reactivities has not been clarified. In this study, we investigated variations of DOM reactivities responding to the dynamics of DOM characteristics induced by different mixing ratios of two DOM end-members derived from humic acid (HA) and algae, respectively. Four biogeochemical reactivities of DOM were evaluated, including biodegradation, ·OH production, photodegradation, and redox capacity. Results showed that the variations of DOM characteristics due to the two end-members mixing significantly impact its biogeochemical reactivities. However, not all spectral parameters and reactivities followed the conservative mixing behavior. In contrast to reactivities of ·OH production and redox capacity, mixed samples showed apparent deviations from conservative linear relationships in biodegradation and photodegradation due to the interaction between the two end-members. Regarding the role of DOM properties influencing reactivity changes, peak A and M were recognized as the most stable parameters. However, peak C and SUVA254 were identified as the most vital contributors for explaining DOM reactivity variations. These findings suggest that a general model for describing the dynamic relationship between DOM source and reactivity cannot be proposed. Thus, the dynamics of DOM reactivity in diverse ecosystems cannot be estimated simply by the "plus or minus" of the reactivity from individual end-member. The effect of end-member mixing should be evaluated in a given reactivity instead of generalization. This study provides important insights for further understanding the dynamics of DOM's environmental role in different ecosystems influenced by variations of source inputs. In future, more field investigations are needed to further verify our findings in this study, especially in the scenario of end-member mixing.

Abstract
Excited triplet states of dissolved organic matters (3DOM*) are one of the most important photochemically-produced reactive intermediates leading to transformation of organic contaminants. However, relationships of photodegradation kinetics of different dissociation states of phenolic organic contaminants with chemical components or properties of 3DOM* are largely unknown. In this study, roles of 3DOM* in photodegradation of polyhydroxy phenolic genistein (Gs) at pH 5, 8 and 12 were investigated taking five kinds of DOM from different sources as examples. Relationships between photodegradation kinetics constants and DOM properties were built. Results showed that the contributions of direct 3DOM*-induced reactions to the total indirect photodegradation of Gs and second-order reaction rate constants (kDOM,Gs) of Gs with 3DOM* increased with pH increases. This was mainly attributed to decreases in vertical ionization energy of Gs at higher pH, endowing Gs with stronger electron donating capacities. kDOM,Gs was found to positively correlate with the specific ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm, reflecting aromaticity of DOM, and negatively correlate with the absorbance ratio at 254 and 365 nm and contents of dissociated acidic functional groups of DOM, representing molecular weights of DOM, antioxidants and the repulsive forces between 3DOM* and Gs. This study provided a new insight into relationship between DOM properties and indirect photodegradation kinetics of phenolic contaminants in aquatic environments.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) has been widely applied in the remediation of chlorophenols (CPs) from contaminated sites in which the role and mechanisms of BC dissolved organic matter (BDOM), as a crucial component of BC, with CPs are largely unknown and thus need to be investigated. In this study, DOM was derived from peanut hulls (PDOM) and corn stalks (CDOM) as BC sources, and the interactions between PDOM/CDOM and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) were analysed using excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEM) in combination with multiple models. EEM combined with fluorescence region integration (EEM-FRI) indicated that humic-like materials were the major materials of both PDOM and CDOM (percentage fluorescence response Ri,n > 60%), and CDOM contained more protein- and fulvic-like materials than PDOM. Based on EEM in combination with parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC), 4 components were obtained, and the percentage decrease in maximum fluorescence intensities (Fmax) showed that the main components interacting with TCP in PDOM/CDOM were protein- and fulvic-like components (> 25%). Moreover, the modified Stern-Volmer model was used to calculate the stability constants (Log KTCP) of PDOM/CDOM and TCP for the first time, and the mechanism of static quenching was dominant for interacting with TCP in PDOM (Log KTCP: 4.36-4.65) and CDOM (Log KTCP: 3.53-4.73). Furthermore, the sequential TCP binding of fluorescent components in BDOM generally followed the order of protein-like → short-wavelength fulvic-like → long-wavelength fulvic-like → humic-like components. These findings will provide a basis for screening biochar as a functional material for CP remediation applications and for understanding the environmental chemical behaviour of leached DOM during biochar application.

Abstract
Microplastic-derived dissolved organic matter (MP-DOM) is ubiquitous in water environment and exhibits photosensitivity. However, little is known about the effects of MP-DOM on the photodegradation of organic micropollutants in natural water. In this study, we investigated the effect of MP-DOM derived from two typical plastics, i.e., polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE), on the photodegradation of a typical organic micropollutants sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in a simulative natural water system. MP-DOM exerted a significant inhibition on the SMX photodegradation, mainly attributed to the direct photolysis inhibition of SMX caused by the inner filter effect and the complexation effect. Despite the enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation with the increase of their steady-state concentration by 41.1 - 160.7 %, PS-DOM exhibited high oxidation resistance, causing an inhibition on the photodegradation of SMX probably through transferring electrons to the SMX intermediates. This study helps to deepen the understanding of microplastic photochemical behavior in natural water.

Abstract
Dissolved black carbon (DBC) is regarded as an important part of the natural organic matter pool. However, it is unclear about DBC's photochemical activity and the relationships between reactive intermediates (RIs) and the molecular structure of DBC remain unclear. In this study, we investigate the photochemical formation ability of RIs and spectral parameters (E2/E3, S275-295) of DBC made from five types of plants at five pyrolysis temperatures. The results showed that there were good linear regressions between the RI quantum yields and the spectral parameters (E2/E3, S275-295), and this was indicative of the RI generation prediction from DBC under solar irradiation. The DBC-mediated photochemical experiment of sulfadiazine revealed that 3DBC* was the primary active species for the indirect photodegradation of sulfadiazine. Further studies indicated that a linear relationship was observed between the indirect photodegradation ability of sulfadiazine induced directly by 3DBC* at different pyrolysis temperatures and the 3DBC* quantum yields or E2/E3. These findings indicate that the simple models of the RI quantum yield as a function of spectral parameters can be used to evaluate the degradation of pollutants with known DBC spectral parameters.

Abstract
Untreated livestock manure contains high concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM), which can enter the environment through leaching and eluviation, showing an important impact on the environment. In this research, fresh chicken manure from a large-scale chicken farm was collected as the source of DOM. The infrared spectrum of the original DOM was characterized. TOC analysis, UV spectrum and 3D fluorescence spectrum were used to measure the properties of DOM before and after photodegradation. Infrared spectroscopy results show that chicken manure DOM may contain aliphatic and aromatic compounds, alcohols, phenols, polysaccharides and some protein substances; In three systems, the order of TOC removal rates of DOM was water + UV system (85%) > > water + simulated sunlight system (7.2%) > ice + simulated sunlight system (4.5%); Changes of UV spectra, fluorescence spectra, molecular weight distribution and pH value show that, in three systems, as the illumination time increased, photodegradation reduced pH value of the systems, aromaticity and humus contents of DOM, while increased the proportion of medium and/or small molecular weight components of DOM. The amounts of all these changes were proportional to DOM photodegradation rates in the system. The binding ability of DOM with Cu2+ and Zn2+ in water solution decreased significantly after the photodegradation.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a reactive oxygen species produced in sunlit waters via energy transfer from the triplet states of natural sensitizers. There has been an increasing interest in measuring apparent 1O2 quantum yields (ΦΔ) of aquatic and atmospheric organic matter samples, driven in part by the fact that this parameter can be used for environmental fate modeling of organic contaminants and to advance our understanding of dissolved organic matter photophysics. However, the lack of reproducibility across research groups and publications remains a challenge that significantly limits the usability of literature data. In the first part of this review, we critically evaluate the experimental techniques that have been used to determine ΦΔ values of natural organic matter, we identify and quantify sources of errors that potentially explain the large variability in the literature, and we provide general experimental recommendations for future studies. In the second part, we provide a qualitative overview of known ΦΔ trends as a function of organic matter type, isolation and extraction procedures, bulk water chemistry parameters, molecular and spectroscopic organic matter features, chemical treatments, wavelength, season, and location. This review is supplemented with a comprehensive database of ΦΔ values of environmental samples.

Abstract
The presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in coastal waters has caused concern over the past decade. Sulfadiazine (SD) is a very common antibiotic widely used as human and fishery medicine, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a significant role in the indirect photodegradation of SD; however, the influence of DOM compositions on SD indirect photodegradation is poorly understood. The roles of reactive intermediates (RIs) in the indirect photolysis of SD were assessed in this study. The reactive triplet states of DOM (3DOM∗) played a major role, whereas HO· and 1O2 played insignificant roles. DOM was divided into four components using excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy combined with parallel factor analysis. The components included three allochthonous humic-like components and one autochthonous humic-like component. The allochthonous humic-like components contributed more to RIs generation and SD indirect photolysis than the autochthonous humic-like component. A significant relationship between the indirect photodegradation of SD and the decay of DOM fluorescent components was found (correlation coefficient, 0.99), and the different indirect photodegradation of SD in various DOM solutions might be ascribed to the different components of DOM. The indirect photolysis rate of SD first increased and then decreased with increasing pH. SD photolysis was enhanced by low salinity but remained stable at high salinity. The increased carbonate concentration inhibited SD photolysis, whereas nitrate showed almost no effect in this study.

Abstract
This assessment by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) provides the latest scientific update since our most recent comprehensive assessment (Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, 2019, 18, 595-828). The interactive effects between the stratospheric ozone layer, solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and climate change are presented within the framework of the Montreal Protocol and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We address how these global environmental changes affect the atmosphere and air quality; human health; terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; biogeochemical cycles; and materials used in outdoor construction, solar energy technologies, and fabrics. In many cases, there is a growing influence from changes in seasonality and extreme events due to climate change. Additionally, we assess the transmission and environmental effects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, in the context of linkages with solar UV radiation and the Montreal Protocol.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2020; 188:109730. [PMID: 32516634 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.109730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Revised: 05/12/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The presence of antibiotics, such as sulfadiazine (SDZ), in the aquatic environment contributes to the generation of antimicrobial resistance, which is a matter of great concern. Photolysis is known to be a major degradation pathway for SDZ in surface waters. Therefore, influencing factors affecting SDZ photodegradation in different aquatic environments were here evaluated in order to have a better knowledge about its persistence in the environment. Photodegradation of SDZ was found to be more efficient at higher pH (t1/2 = 6.76 h, at pH = 7.3; t1/2 = 12.2 h, at pH = 6.3), in the presence of humic substances (HS) (t1/2 between 1.76 and 2.42 h), as well as in the presence of NaCl (t1/2 = 1.00 h) or synthetic sea salts (t1/2 = 0.78 h). Using ˙OH and 1O2 scavengers, it was possible to infer that direct photolysis was the main pathway for SDZ photodegradation in ultrapure water. Furthermore, results under N2 purging confirmed that 1O2 was not relevant in the phototransformation of SDZ. Then, the referred observations were used for the interpretation of results obtained in environmental matrices, namely the final effluent of a sewage treatment plant (STPF), fresh and brackish water (t1/2 between 2.3 and 3.48 h), in which SDZ photodegradation was found to be much faster than in ultrapure water (t1/2 = 6.76 h).
