Amoxicillin, ampicillin, bleomycin, carmustine, cephalothin, dacarbazine, lomustine, metronidazole, norethindrone, streptozocin, sulfamethoxazole, and verapamil were completely degraded in solution, without the production of mutagenic residues, by photolysis using a medium-pressure mercury lamp in an all-quartz apparatus. A stream of air was passed through the solution and for amoxicillin, ampicillin, bleomycin, lomustine, metronidazole, and norethindrone it was necessary to add hydrogen peroxide. Dilute aqueous solutions of ampicillin, bleomycin, carmustine, cephalothin, lomustine, norethindrone, streptozocin, trimethoprim, and verapamil can be decontaminated using polymeric Amberlite resins.
