TL;DR: The high degree of mineralization obtained in this work highlights the potential application of EF process in the efficient removal of fluoroquinolone based drugs in aqueous medium.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of various AOPs in terms of nitro-products formation mechanisms and the associated environmental issues is presented, where the sonochemical nitrogen fixation is a key mechanism for the formation of Nitro-compounds in ultrasound-based AOP.

TL;DR: An extensive literature survey was carried out to get an idea on the geographical distribution of ECs in various environmental matrices and biological samples by dividing the entire subcontinent into six zones based on climatic, geographical and cultural features and it is found that studies on the screening ofECs are scarce and concentrated in certain geological locations.

TL;DR: A reaction mechanism involving electrophilic attack of NO on thiolate groups and subsequent formation of a nitrogen-centred radical, MTSN( )OH, as intermediate is proposed for the reaction of NO with MT that leads to zinc release.

TL;DR: The degradation of pharmaceuticals by sonolysis, an oxidation processes using ultrasound is reviewed, which shows good mineralization and the toxicity removal were hardly achieved and more hybrid techniques have to be developed to scale up the application of ultrasound.
