Climbazole is an antifungal agent widely used in household personal care products, and it was found persistent in chlorination disinfection process. Here we investigated the kinetics and mechanism of climbazole degradation by UV/chlorine process. The results showed that the UV/chlorine process dramatically enhanced degradation of climbazole when compared to the UV photolysis and chlorination alone. The neutral condition (pH 7) produced the highest reaction rate for the climbazole by UV/chlorine among the various pH conditions. Dissolved organic matter and inorganic ions in natural water showed moderate inhibition effects on the degradation of climbazole in the UV/chlorine process. Hydroxyl radical (OH and chlorine radical (Cl) were found to be the main reactive species in the degradation of climbazole, with the second-order rate constant of 1.24 × 10 M s and 6.3 × 10 M s, respectively. In addition, the OH and Cl in the UV/chlorine at 100 μM accounted for 82.2% and 7.7% contributions to the removal of climbazole, respectively. Eleven of main transformation products of climbazole were identified in the UV/chlorine process. These oxidation products did not cause extra toxicity than climbazole itself. The findings from this study show that the combination of chlorination with UV photolysis could provide an effective approach for removal of climbazole during conventional disinfection process.

Article Synopsis
- Isoquinoline (IQL) in coking wastewater is a harmful contaminant that traditional sewage treatments struggle to remove effectively due to its chemical stability.
- Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), particularly those using UV light, can break down IQL but may create toxic byproducts, which were studied in this research comprehensively.
- The study found that while some degradation byproducts are less toxic than IQL, reactions with certain radicals like chlorine produce harmful byproducts, indicating that UV/PDS is the safer option for waste treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how microplastics affect water treatment with UV/light and chlorine.*
- They looked at changes in how light interacts with dissolved stuff that comes from microplastics and how it affects breaking down a chemical called sulfamethazine.*
- The study shows that different types of microplastics can change how effective the water treatment is, which is important for keeping our water clean.*

The UV/chlorine (UV/Cl) process is a developing advanced oxidation process and can efficiently remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the transportation and storage of chlorine solutions limit the application of the UV/Cl process, especially for decentralized water treatment. To overcome the limitation, an electrochemically driven UV/Cl process (E-UV/Cl) where Cl can be electrochemically produced in situ from anodic oxidation of chloride (Cl) ubiquitously present in various water matrices was evaluated in this study.

Ribavirin (RBV), which is extensively used to treat viral diseases such as COVID-19, is considered one of the major emerging contaminants due to its long-term existence and health risk in the aqueous environmental system. However, research on effective removal of RBV still remains insufficient. In this study, we investigated the RBV degradation kinetics and mechanism in UV/chlorine/Fe(II) process.

The presence of "viable but nonculturable" (VBNC) state and bacterial antibiotic resistance (BAR) both pose significant threats to the safety of drinking water. However, limited data was available that explicitly addressed the contribution of bacterial VBNC state in the maintenance and propagation of BAR. Here, the VBNC state induction and resuscitation of two antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli K12 strains, one carrying multidrug-resistant plasmid (RP4 E.
