Identification and Mechanistic Analysis of Toxic Degradation Products in the Advanced Oxidation Pathways of Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics

The degradation of fluoroquinolones (FQs) via advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is a promising avenue, yet the complete mineralization of certain FQ molecules remains elusive, raising concerns about the formation of toxic by-products. This study delineates five primary AOP degradation pathways for...
