“…Ultimately, the exchange of data among authorities, academia, and industry needs to be intensified (Figure 2) by reducing barriers and adopting a common data language and data sharing platforms. 72 Expanded regulatory frameworks are required to oblige industry to identify more TPs. This includes a higher number of simulation tests and updated requirements that prevent lowmolecular-weight TPs from being overlooked.…”

When chemical pollutants enter the environment, they can undergo diverse transformation processes, forming a wide range of transformation products (TPs), some of them benign and others more harmful than their precursors. To date, the majority of TPs remain largely unrecognized and unregulated, particularly as TPs are generally not part of routine chemical risk or hazard assessment. Since many TPs formed from oxidative processes are more polar than their precursors, they may be especially relevant in the context of persistent, mobile, and toxic (PMT) and very persistent and very mobile (vPvM) substances, which are two new hazard classes that have recently been established on a European level. We highlight herein that as a result, TPs deserve more attention in research, chemicals regulation, and chemicals management. This perspective summarizes the main challenges preventing a better integration of TPs in these areas: (1) the lack of reliable high-throughput TP identification methods, (2) uncertainties in TP prediction, (3) inadequately considered TP formation during (advanced) water treatment, and (4) insufficient integration and harmonization of TPs in most regulatory frameworks. A way forward to tackle these challenges and integrate TPs into chemical management is proposed.

“…With the continuous development of the economy and society, industrialization has led to water pollution that gradually affects daily lives. 1 Acid Orange II (AOII), as a common azo dye, possesses high stability due to the strong azo bonds between chromophoric groups in its structure, making it difficult to degrade. 2 Upon entering water bodies, AOII disrupts the photosynthesis of phytoplankton, affecting the growth of aquatic organisms and causing imbalance in the aquatic environment.…”
