| Popis: | The herbicide bentazone is used extensively worldwide, and it is frequently detected in groundwater sources used for drinking water production. Previously, bentazone has been shown to be biodegraded in filter sand from biological rapid sand filters at various waterworks. This untapped potential could be an inexpensive and sustainable alternative for the removal of trace organic contaminants. To study the fate of bentazone in sand filters and to identify associated risks, degradation pathways in filter sand were identified and the toxicity of identified transformation products was evaluated using quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) modelling. Bentazone degradation was investigated in microcosm experiments with filter sand, effluent water and bentazone at elevated (5 mg L−1) and environmentally relevant concentrations ( |
