Photo-Fenton-like treatment of BPA: Effect of UV light source and water matrix on toxicity and transformation products

TLDR
Acute toxicity analysis employing Vibrio fischeri revealed that the inhibitory effect of BPA decreased significantly during the course of Photo-Fenton-like treatment, and a reaction pathway featuring hydroxylation, dimerization and ring opening steps is proposed.
