Abstract:Pharmaceutically active compounds are the most widely produced and consumed consumer products that pose a substantial threat to the environment and living organisms owing to their pharmacokinetics, side effects, and contraindications.

Both the hydroxyl radical and hydrated electron generated in the radiolysis of water contrib… Show more
