Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are commonly used chemicals that are increasingly detected in urban-impacted environments, particularly those receiving treated wastewater. PPCPs may have toxicological effects on the macrofauna that are exposed through contaminated water; thus, there is interest in microbially mediated transformations that may degrade PPCPs. This review discusses specific examples of PPCP transformations that may occur in anoxic environments, including O-methylation and O-demethylation.
药品和个人护理产品(PPCPs)是常用化学品,在受城市影响的环境中,尤其是那些接收经处理废水的环境中,其检出率日益增加。PPCPs可能会对通过受污染水体接触到的大型动物产生毒理学影响;因此,人们对可能降解PPCPs的微生物介导转化过程很感兴趣。本综述讨论了可能在缺氧环境中发生的PPCP转化的具体例子,包括O-甲基化和O-去甲基化。
