Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have gained a great deal of attention as they held great promise for the treatment of wastewater contaminated with noneasily removable organic pollutants. The assessment of transformation products allowed the overall efficiency of AOPs to be better understood since some transformation products possessed higher toxicity than the mother compounds. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry has been heavily used as an analytical tool in the environmental field as it allowed the best performance in assigning the identity of the transformation products detected. This chapter reviews liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for the identification of endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) transformation products formed from several AOPs such as photolysis, photocatalysis, sonolysis, and Fenton treatment. EDCs are a group of special interest due to their ability to exert hormonal imbalance activity and consequently caused adverse health effects in an organism or its progeny. Data concerning to the mechanism of AOP-mediated reactions on the EDCs degradation are also discussed in this chapter. Finally, the future prospects of AOPs on EDCs degradation are summarized and discussed.
