本研究利用紫外線/過氧化氫程序處理中低濃度雙酚A和Amoxicillin，分別探討溶液pH值、過氧化氫添加量、雙酚A和Amoxicillin初始濃度、紫外線光強度對反應物去除、中間產物生成之影響，並透過人類肺纖維母細胞株MRC5來測試經過紫外光/過氧化氫程序處理後對人體細胞功能之影響。
本研究之實驗結過顯示，雙酚A隨著pH 增加去除效率隨之下降，故本研究針對過氧化氫添加量、雙酚A和Amoxicillin初始濃度及紫外線光強度於pH 5之下行。研究指出，針對過雙酚A和Amoxicillin去除效率隨著過氧化氫量和光強度增加而增加，但針對固定過氧化氫下處理不同初始濃度雙酚A和Amoxicillin增加而減少。本研究透過質量平衡針對中間產物和CO2、SO42-之生成進行計算探討。
利用人類肺纖維細胞母細胞存活率來測試不同操作條件下細胞存活率之影響。研究指出過量過氧化氫抑制細胞成長並降低細胞增長速率。針對細胞存活率利用紫外光/過氧化氫處理過量BPA和Amoxicillin濃度，研究中發現處理過量初始濃度汙染物抑制細胞增長。針對不同光強度下處理汙染物探討細胞存活率，細胞增生速率隨著光強度增加而增加。於不同pH值之下利用紫外線/過氧化氫處理BPA對細胞存活率進行探討；研究中指出於高pH值之下細胞增生速率隨之下降。藉由肺纖維母細胞來測試經紫外線/過氧化氫程序降解之amoxicillin和BPA之廢液其生物活性研究發現，對於細胞並無明顯抑制效應。

Decomposition of amoxicillin and bisphenol A in aqueous solution by UV/H2O2 process was studied under various solution pH, H2O2 dosage, initial concentration of amoxicillin and BPA, and light intensities to investigate the removal efficiencies of reactants and intermediates. MRC5 cells were used in MTT assay to assess the decomposition of reactants by UV/H2O2 process under the effect of solution pH values, H2O2 dosage, initial concentration of reactant, and light intensities.
Experiments were carried out at pH 5 in this study. Results showed that the decomposition of BPA and amoxicillin increased with increasing H2O2 dosage and light intensities. Decomposition of amoxicillin and BPA decreased with increased initial concentration of reactants. Mass balances for carbon and sulfur elements were calculated to discuss reaction behaviors for formation of intermediate, CO2 and SO42-.
MTT activity of MRC5 cells was conducted to determine the effect of different operating the conditions on the decomposition of reactant. Results indicated that excess of H2O2 would inhibit MRC5 cell activity. Decomposition of BPA and amoxicillin by UV/H2O2 processes with excess of initial reactant exhibited similar result. MTT activity of MRC5 cells increased with increasing light intensities. Increasing solution pH led to the decrease in MTT activity of MRC5 cells. In conclusion, MTT activity used to determine the cytotoxicity of amoxicillin and BPA wastewaters treated by UV and UV/H2O2 process indicated no significantly inhibitive effect on MRC5 cells in this study.
