A solution containing a mixture of levonorgestrel and fluoxetine ([LNG]0 = 0.29 ± 0.03 mg L-1; [FLX]0 = 5.02 ± 0.34 mg L-1) was treated with persulfate ([PS]0 = 0.07 mol L-1) and irradiated or electrolyzed for 60 min under similar conditions. The results revealed similar decays of APIs in the two activation forms studied, solar/PS (k LNG = 6.6 × 10-2 min-1; k FLX = 7.7 × 10-2 min-1) and AO/PS (k LNG = 7.8 × 10-2 min-1; k FLX = 9.7 × 10-2 min-1), with slightly better results for the electrochemical process. However, acute toxicity accessed with Daphnia similis indicated that AO/PS provided a three-fold increase in the values of toxic units.242-243openAccessdrugswater pollutionenvironmentoxidationwaste waterwater treatmenturban areasTexto completo de eventohttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-9692-5539
