Development of a fundamental model to predict UV reactor performance for photolysis and advanced oxidation processes

现代社会中大量有机化学品的使用导致废水流中有机污染物浓度水平的显著增加，并最终导致饮用水源中的有机污染物浓度水平的增加。异种生物是一类化合物，如多环芳烃、烷基酚、有机化合物、挥发性有机化合物、农药和重金属等，是生物体内的外来物，对环境降解具有抗性。一些以对环境和人类健康的风险增加为特征的外来生物被列为欧共体水框架指令的优先物质，并被列入美国环境保护局污染物候选清单。其中一些物质是内分泌干扰化合物。

The use of a vast array of organic chemicals in modern society has led to a significant increase in the level of organic contaminant concentration levels in wastewater streams, and, ultimately, drinking water sources. Xenobiotics are a class of chemical compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alkylphenols, organotins, volatile organic compounds, pesticides and heavy metals, foreign to the body of living organisms and resistant to environmental degradation. A number of xenobiotics, characterized by increased risk for the environment and human health, are listed as priority substances of the EC Water Framework Directive and are on the US EPA Contaminant Candidate List. Some of these substances are endocrine disrupting compounds.
