Removal of BDE-209 from contaminated sediments by UV/H2O2 treatment was investigated under different reaction conditions (different UV irradiance and H2O2 concentrations). After 10 h of UV/H2O2 treatment, 90% of BDE-209 was removed with a half-life time (t(1/2)) of 3.5 h and a kinetic constant (k) of 0.22 h(-1).
Possible formation of OH-PBDEs and debrominated polybromodiphenyl ethers was investigated by GC-MS and LC-MS/MS. None of the abovementioned BDE-209 by-products was found after 2.5, 5.5 and 10 h of UV/H2O2 treatment.
Toxicity experiments carried out with zebrafish embryos exposed to the sediment before and after the UV/H2O2 treatment did not show any morphological or behavioural alterations, suggesting that no putative debrominated or oxidation products were originated by the treatment in concentrations high enough to elicit significant toxic effects in zebrafish embryos.
