Sumario:Since conventional biological wastewater treatments are not admittedly effective to convert pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) into nontoxic products, natural abiotic mechanisms such as solar photolysis arises as an important degradation process, especially for halogenated molecules. In the present work, photolysis simulation was carried out in-lab for precursors and their respective photo-transformation products (photo-TPs), which were analyzed through reversed-phase ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (RP-UHPLCHRMS). An in-house library was created in order to provide reference information for target (precursors) and suspect screening (photo-TPs) analysis of freshwater samples from impacted aquatic environments. Strategies in the use of data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA), as well as the data processing software are discussed here for the identification of 6 PhACs and photo-TPs. Because no standards of photo-TPs were available, only the target compounds, i.e. sitagliptin (398 ± 2 ng L-1), iohexol (209 ± 5 ng L-1), lamotrigine (103 ± 10 ng L-1), losartan (43 ± 10 ng L-1), ofloxacin (28 ± 7 ng L-1), and sertraline (25 ± 7 ng L-1) could be quantified through multiple standard additions.
