Endocrine Disruptor Degradation by UV/Chlorine and the Impact of Their Removal on Estrogenic Activity and Toxicity

Figure 4

Estrogenic activity reduction using a combined Cl/UVC treatment containing BPA, E2, and EE2 in solution. Initial EDC concentrations: 100 μg·L^-1, initial chlorine concentration = 2 mg·L^-1, UVC irradiance = 14.79 mW cm^-2, reaction time = 5 min. <LOQ = below the limit of quantification.
