Abstract:
Ozone was applied to study the removal of conventional pollutants and typical endocrine disrupters (EDs), including bisphenol A (BPA), 4-n-nonylphenol(NP), 4-tert-octylphenol (OP), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), 17alpha-estradiol (17alpha-E2), estriol (E3) and ethinylestradiol (EE2) , from heavily polluted river water. The O3 dose was designed at 28 mg x L(-1) for 30 min and 42 mg x L(-1) for 80 min. Pollutants in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen can not be removed efficiently, ranged from 3% to 7%. The colority of the black water was quickly reduced in the first 5 minutes, while the turbidities increased first and then decreased gradually. It showed that three EDs with relatively high level including BPA, OP and EE2 could be removed efficiently in thirty minutes. Concentrations of E3 increased first then decreased to be lower than the detection limit. Removal efficiencies of E1 and E2 were 41%-70% and 62%-85% respectively. Extension of ozone exposure time can not improve the efficiency of EDs removal any more.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
