N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) is an antioxidant commonly used in tire manufacturing, and its release into the environment has significantly increased due to rapid urbanization. When subjected to ozonation, 6PPD converts into the harmful pollutant 6PPD quinone (6PPDQ). These substances enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) via stormwater runoff and pipelines, posing significant risks to the functional microorganisms.
