Article Synopsis
- Oxolinic acid is a quinolone antibiotic used in aquaculture, raising environmental concerns as it can enter water bodies from aquaculture effluents.
- The study focused on the reactivity of its anionic form through direct and indirect photolysis, determining how it reacts with various radicals produced in water.
- Results indicate that OxA is quite photoreactive, especially with HO and CO radicals, but its degradation can be inhibited by compounds like phenol, with predicted half-lives of a few days in both fresh and seawater mainly due to direct photolysis.
