Abstract
Pesticides have been used to kill pests such as insects, fungi, rodents, and unwanted plants. Since these compounds are potentially toxic to the target organisms, they could also be harmful to human health and the environment. Several chronic adverse effects have been identified even after months or years of exposure. A few pesticide degradation processes have been studied including adsorption, homogeneous and heterogeneous (photo)catalytic oxidation, and biological methods. Although these methods have been playing a significant part in the pesticide's degradation, there are still gaps in many aspects. Here, we review the catalytic degradation of these pollutants by (metallo)porphyrins. To evaluate the P450 cytochrome's biomimetic behavior of these catalysts, various synthesized porphyrins have been used since 1999 and their activities were summarized in this manuscript. The porphyrins appear to act as good catalysts for the degradation of pesticides; in fact, they also have been shown as a useful tool for the elucidation of their degradation products. Achieving pesticide mineralization without intermediate products is still challenging, although the ability of this kind of catalysts to conduct the formation of some lower toxic products comparing their precursors has been verified.

Norfloxacin and gentamicin degradation catalyzed by manganese porphyrins under mild conditions: the importance of toxicity assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:16203-16212.

Abstract
The current work assessed the degradation degree and the degradation products derived from norfloxacin (NOR) and gentamicin (GEN) using iodosylbenzene and iodobenzene diacetate, in the presence of manganese porphyrin as catalysts. Better results for NOR degradation (> 80%) were obtained when more hydrophobic porphyrins were employed. β-brominated manganese porphyrins showed a lower GEN degradation (~ 25%) than the non-brominated ones (~ 35%), probably due to their steric hindrance. In any case, complete mineralization was achieved neither for NOR nor for GEN, and the assignment of the generated products, complemented by the study of their toxicity, was an important step performed. From the obtained results, no correlation was found between the number of identified products and the reported toxicity value (rSpearman,NOR = 0.006; p value = 0.986 and rSpearman,GEN = - 0,198; p value = 0.583), which reinforces the idea of synergism and antagonistic phenomena. The higher degradation degree could have led to products of lower steric hindrance and easier penetration into the A. fischeri cells, which subsequently led to an increase in toxicity for these experiments. In most cases, the products presented higher toxicity than the original compound, which raises a concern about their occurrence in environmental matrices.

Abstract
In this work, we have developed a simple method to carry out the quantitative analysis of deethylhydroxyatrazine (DEHA), the most abundant metabolite of atrazine herbicide (ATZ), based on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering technique. Since this ATZ product can undergo pH-dependent tautomerization, a previous characterization of the DEHA vibrational spectrum was accomplished. This study consisted of the Raman scattering study, both experimental and theoretical, of the enolic and ketonic tautomers of this molecule. SERS spectra were recorded at different pH in order to assess the effect of the metal surface in nanoparticles along with the pH on the structure of DEHA and to find the optimal experimental conditions of the quantitative detection of DEHA. Additionally, the interaction of DEHA with two types of humic acid reference standards, the Elliot humic and leonardite humic ones, was also performed by SERS. This interaction was conducted with two different objectives: to evaluate the interaction mechanism of the ATZ degradation product with humic substances and to check if this interaction can modify the sensitivity of the SERS detection of DEHA. The results presented in this study have clearly demonstrated that SERS spectroscopy is a very powerful technique for characterizing DEHA and other triazine sub-products at a very low concentration in water and also for analyzing the interaction of these important pollutants with humic substances.

Abstract
Synthetic manganese porphyrins (MnPs), in the presence of oxidants, were employed for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and levofloxacin (LEV) degradation by iodosylbenzene, iodobenzene diacetate, H2O2 and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid using water-soluble MnP catalysts yielded thirteen and nine products, respectively, seven of which have been proposed for the first time. The MnP catalysts have demonstrated the ability to degrade these antibiotics to a high degree (up to 100% degradation). The structures of the degradation products were proposed based on mass spectrometry analysis, and density functional theory calculations could confirm how the substituent moieties attached to the basic chemical structure of the fluoroquinolones influence the degradation reactions. CIP has been shown to be a more reactive substrate towards the porphyrinic catalysts tested because of its three-membered ring. However, the catalysts could almost completely degrade LEV, highlighting the ability of these porphyrins to act as catalysts to degrade environmental pollutants.

Degradation of Atrazine, Simazine and Ametryn in an arable soil using thermal-activated persulfate oxidation process: Optimization, kinetics, and degradation pathway. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 400:123201. [PMID: 32947740 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
This study examined the feasibility of applying thermal-activated persulfate (PS) oxidation for remediation of soil co-contaminated with s-triazine herbicides including Atrazine (ATZ), Simazine (SIM) and Ametryn (AME). Homogeneous activation using heating method (50 °C) was selected. Results showed that thermal-activated PS oxidation process may successfully degrade ATZ in soil and degradation efficiency was increased along the arising activation temperature. Higher PS dosages and depressed initial pH were beneficial for degradation while increasing initial ATZ concentration may hamper the degradation. The oxidation process may lead to changes of surface functional groups on soil. The presence of Cl-, HCO3- and H2PO4- at both of low and high concentrations may inhibit the degradation of ATZ. Soil depths may apparently influence the ATZ degradation which followed 0-10 < 10-30 < 30-60 cm mainly depending on the soil organic matter (SOM) contents. Thermal-activated PS may effectively degrade ATZ, SIM and AME under co-contaminated condition and the more favorable of ethyl group towards SO4- than isopropyl and methylation groups was detected. Both of SO4- and HO were identified to be responsible for degradation. Finally, degradation intermediates of ATZ, SIM and AME were identified by LC-Q-TOF-MS and detailed transformation pathways for three pesticides were proposed, respectively.
