Evaluation of Antibiotic Transformation During Water Treatment Using Non-target Screening Combined with Effect-Based Strategies
摘要
During water treatment, antibiotics can undergo abiotic and biotic degradation processes, leading to the generation of known and unknown transformation products (TPs), which are sometimes more persistent and/or toxic than the parent compounds. Therefore, advanced analytical strategies are necessary to identify and assess their potential environmental risks. With this aim, non-target and suspect screening methodologies for the chemical analysis of antibiotic TPs can be combined with effect-based strategies (in silico and in vivo), computational evaluation, and the so-called “effect-directed analysis” (EDA). In this chapter, a variety of studies combining both approaches (chemical and effect based) to comprehensively assess antibiotic TP formation in diverse water treatment scenarios are compiled and discussed.
