“…Research is being conducted in the water environment in various countries: the Netherlands (surface water and river) [22], Greece (surface water) [23], Portugal (surface water) [24], Belgium (surface water) [25], Japan (rainwater) [26,27], the USA (rainwater) [28], Austria (rainwater) [29], Serbia (rainwater) [30], Nigeria (surface water, effluent of M/IWTP) [18], Taiwan (effluent of M/IWTP, rainwater, surface water) [31,32], China (effluent of M/IWTP) [6], and South Korea (surface water, effluent of M/IWTP) [5]. The reported concentration range of VOCs in the water environment ranged from several ng/L to mg/L, and was mainly the highest in the effluent of IWTP.…”

“…The most important aspects of monitoring research are that well-managed analytical equipment, and various application methods for gas and liquid chromatography (GC and LC) are used. The method detection limit (MDL) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) differ for each compound, but are mainly between several ng/L and tens of ng/L [5,6,18,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. The most important method for water environment management is obtaining accurate monitoring and analysis results, and the accumulated results will be used as important data for policy decisions.…”

“…The toluene and xylenes concentrations in the HRW surface water were lower by several orders than those of not only the Netherland surface water from Rhine, Meuse, Northern Delta area, Western Scheldt rivers [22], surface waters of Greece [23], Portugal [24], Belgium [25], Taiwan [32], and Nigeria [18], but also the rainwater of Japan [26,27], USA [28], Australia [29], and Serbia [30]. This implied that wet deposition could be partially considered as a reason for the increased VOC concentrations in surface water and rainwater.…”

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with negative impacts on the aquatic ecosystem, are increasingly released into the environment by anthropogenic activities. Water samples were collected from five areas of the Han River Watershed (HRW) tributaries, South Korea, to detect 11 VOCs, which were classified as halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) and aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs). Among the 11 VOCs, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and vinyl chloride were undetected. The highest concentration compounds were chloroform (0.0596 ± 0.1312 µg/L), trichloroethylene (0.0253 ± 0.0781 µg/L), and toluene (0.0054 ± 0.0139 µg/L). The mean concentration (0.0234 µg/L) and detection frequency (37.0%) of HAHs were higher than those of AHs (0.0036 µg/L, 21.0%, respectively). The Imjin Hantan River area exhibited the highest mean concentration (0.2432 µg/L) and detection frequency (22.9%), because it is located near industrial complexes, thus, highlighting their role as important VOC sources. However, the detected VOCs had lower concentrations than those permitted by the EU, WHO, USA, and South Korea drinking water guidelines. Ecological risks associated with the VOCs were estimated by risk quotient (RQ); consequently, the predicted no-effect concentration was 0.0029 mg/L, and the toluene and styrene RQ values were >1 and >0.5, respectively. The findings may facilitate policymakers in designing pollution control strategies.

The high toxicity, volatility, and dispersion of the light aromatics, benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) pose a serious threat to the environment and human health. Compared to incineration, catalytic oxidation technologies for BTX removal offer benefits such as low energy consumption, high efficiency, and low pollution. ABO3–type perovskite catalysts (ABO3–PCs) are particularly promising materials for the catalytic oxidation of BTX due to their high activity and thermal stability, as well as their adjustable elemental composition and flexible structure allowing their properties to be improved. Nonetheless, the full potential of ABO3–PCs for the oxidation of BTX has yet to be reached. This review systematically and critically analyses progress in the catalytic oxidation of BTX by ABO3–PCs. Catalytic performance is assessed for each category of perovskite, including non–doped, doped (A–, B–, or A/B–site doped), and loading type (noble metal, metal oxide, and matrix composite), with structure–activity relationships are established. A kinetic model and proposed mechanism for the catalytic oxidation of BTX are also presented. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of ABO3–PCs applied to BTX oxidation and other reactions are highlighted.
