Abstract
⺠Carbamazepine is highly recalcitrant to standard wastewater treatment practices. ⺠This study investigated the ecotoxicity of carbamazepine UV-photolysis degradation products. ⺠Carbamazepine was less toxic to three standard test organisms than the tested degradation products. ⺠Recalcitrant mixture toxicity of the UV-treated solution was still observed at the end of treatment. ⺠UV-photolysis of carbamazepine may form toxicologically relevant transformation products.
