Abstract

The massive consumption of different organic substances and their release through various pathways into the environment constitute an emerging environmental problem that poses serious threats to public health. Micropollutants discharged in domestic wastewaters, which pharmaceuticals and personal care products have been received scientific interest potentially dangerous to environment. Current wastewater treatment plants are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals compounds, since they are not treatment targets. Advanced oxidation processes are efficient methodology for the degradation of organic compounds in the environmental matrices. We reviewed more than 100 papers about heterogeneous and homogenous advanced oxidation processes for the removal personal care products and pharmaceuticals compounds. Advanced oxidation processes have been an alternative to remove micropollutants from wastewater. Ozonation is the most appropriate for the treatment of different kinds of wastewater (42% of papers). Chlorine with ultraviolet is the less studied (6.4%) however is the fastest process to remove the compounds. Toxicity evaluation during the oxidation process is an important tool to assess possible effects of by-product to human and environment health.
