THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 916:170101. [PMID: 38242474 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
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.

[PMID: 38006920 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs), an emerging class of pollutants, significantly impact the photoconversion dynamics of tetracycline (TC). But the effect of prevalent dissolved organic matter (DOM) on TC photodegradation in the presence of MPs remains a gap in current research. In this study, the photoconversion behavior and mechanism of TC under simulated sunlight conditions were systematically investigated, both in the presence of DOM and in combination with polystyrene (PS) MPs. The results demonstrated that both DOM and MPs enhanced the photodegradation of TC when compared to its direct degradation. However, DOM, particularly humic acid (HA, 10 mg/L), exhibited a more pronounced enhancing effect on TC photodegradation within 1 h reaction, regardless of the presence or absence of MPs, reaching up to 80%. In reaction systems involving TC-HA and TC-HA-PS, the primary contributors to TC degradation were direct photolysis and HA photosensitization (free radical reactions). Conversely, photosensitization effects were not significant in the presence of fulvic acid (FA). Furthermore, even under dark reaction conditions, HA exhibited a 10% degradation effect on TC. Quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) results indicate that dark reaction processes involve free radical reactions. Additionally, toxicity test results showed a reduction in the acute toxicity of TC photodegradation products, yet the long-term cumulative risks to organisms deserved attention. In general, this investigation significantly advances our understanding of the intricate photoconversion behavior of TC in the presence of coexisting chemical components.
