| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Occupational exposure to anticancer drugs is recognized as a risk for healthcare workers. Reducing anticancer drugs in the environment is important to prevent the exposure of individuals to anticancer drugs. However, there are currently no effective degrading agents for all anticancer drugs used in clinical settings. In this study, we evaluated anticancer drug degradation using a photocatalyst. The visible light-driven photocatalyst as a spray agent was confirmed to degrade anticancer drugs under a fluorescent lamp. The ultraviolet-driven photocatalyst as a coating agent degraded anticancer drugs. Degradation of anticancer drugs by the visible light-driven photocatalyst as a coating agent is lesser than the ultraviolet-driven photocatalyst as a coating agent. The ability of photocatalyst is useful tool for reducing anticancer drug pollution in clinical settings.
