Dataset: Ozonation and UV photolysis for removing anticancer drug residues from hospital wastewater

Description

Data for Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A - Toxic/Hazardous Substances and Environmental Engineering

Steps to reproduce

The present study investigates the use of UV light and the ozone process for doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, and irinotecan degradation. The process was performed using different pH values in hospital wastewater. The use of UV radiation reduces the concentration of anticancer drugs, but in all cases, this technology was not able to remove enough these contaminants from hospital wastewater.
