    Author: Reddy PVL, Kim KH, Kavitha B, Kumar V, Raza N, Kalagara S.
    Journal: J Environ Manage; 2018 May 01; 213():189-205. PubMed ID: 29499555.
    Abstract:
    Bisphenol A (BPA) is known to be an emerging pollutant in various environmental compartments. Human exposure to BPA occurs widely because it is commonly used as the raw material in a variety of industrial processes (e.g., the preparation of epoxy and polycarbonate resins). In this review, a brief survey was carried out to cover a range of photocatalytic materials (e.g., titania, zinc, silver, carbon, and bismuth) and their modified forms as an effective means to treat water systems contaminated with BPA. The overall efficiency and limitations of these catalysts are described for the photocatalytic treatment of BPA.
