In this study, mechanistic aspects on the decomposition of microcystins (e.g., microcysitn-LR, -RR, -YR, and �LA) with different radicals produced by different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) including UV/H2O2, solar/visible light-induced photocatalysis, and combination of solar light-induced photocatalysis and oxidants will be presented. Transformation kinetic rates and reaction by-products, which are formed by an attack of different reactive oxygen species generated in various AOPs, will be presented. The detailed reaction pathways taking place in different AOPs will be discussed. Finally, some general aspects on the development of an electrochemical biosensor for monitoring microcystin-LR will be briefly presented.
