“…Several substances have already been classified as or as having the potential to be EDCs (Fig. 6), including compounds from the groups of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), alkylphenols (APs), organotins (OTs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and heavy metals [126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133].…”

“…Ozonation, photolysis and visible light photocatalysis were applied to atrazine, chlorpyrifos-ethyl, terbutryn and pyrene (PAH) at ng L −1 level in wastewater samples and the performance decreased in the following order: O3 > UV > Xe-Ce-TiO2 > Xe (Santiago- Morales et al, 2013). High removal of alachlor, atrazine, diuron, isoproturon, simazine as well as high mineralization were reached using TiO2/ H2O2/UV (Moreira et al, 2012). Nano photo-Fenton like (Fe2O3(nano)/ H2O2/UV), nano photo zinc oxide combined with H2O2 (ZnO(nano)/H2O2/UV), photo-Fenton (Fe 2+ /H2O2/UV) and ZnO/H2O2/UV processes were compared to destroy chlorpyrifos and the most effective treat-ment for its removal in drinking water was the nano photo-Fenton like process (Fe2O3(nano)/H2O2/UV) (Derbalah et al, 2013).…”

Environmental pollution is a recognized issue of major concern since a wide range of contaminants has been found in aquatic environment at ng L −1 to μg L −1 levels.In the year 2000, a strategy was defined to identify the priority substances concerning aquatic ecosystems, followed by the definition of environmental quality standards (EQS) in 2008. Recently it was launched the Directive 2013/39/EU that updates the water framework policy highlighting the need to develop new water treatment technologies to deal with such problem. This review summarizes the data published in the last decade regarding the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat priority compounds and certain other pollutants defined in this Directive, excluding the inorganic species (cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel and their derivatives).The Directive 2013/39/EU includes several pesticides

“…The hydroxyl radical is the second strongest oxidant with an oxidation potential at 2.80 V. It is effective at destroying organic pollutants rapidly with second-order rate constants, usually in the range of 10 9 -10 10 M -1 s -1 , and non-selectively with nearly all electron-rich organic compounds (26), such as hydrocarbons (23,27), organic dyes (28,29), antibiotics (30,31), pesticides (32,33), landfill leachates (34,35), explosives (36)(37)(38), phenols (39,40), and microbial contaminants (17,41). Meanwhile, nanocatalysis is one of many practical applications of nanotechnology.…”

The lack of clean and safe drinking water is responsible for more deaths than war, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction combined. This suggests contaminated water poses a significant threat to human health and welfare. In addition, standard water disinfection approaches such as sedimentation, filtration, and chemical or biological degradation are not fully capable of destroying emerging contaminants (e.g. pesticides, pharmaceutical waste products) or certain types of bacteria (e.g. Cryptosporidium parvum). Nanomaterials and nanotechnology based devices can potentially be employed to solve the challenges posed by various contaminants and
