Drugs degrading photocatalytically: Kinetics and mechanisms of ofloxacin and atenolol removal on titania suspensions.
Evroula Hapeshi,A. Achilleos,Marlen I. Vasquez,Costas Michael,Nikolaos P. Xekoukoulotakis,Dionissios Mantzavinos,Despo Kassinos +6 more
TL;DR: The ecotoxicity of ofloxacin and atenolol to freshwater species Daphnia magna was found to increase with increasing substrate concentration and exposure time, with atenoliol being more toxic than ofl Oxacin, and Photocatalytic treatment eliminated nearly completely toxicity.
