AB  - Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are a family of 
      unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that have received 
      considerable public and scientific attention due to the toxicity of some of their 
      congeners, more specifically those with chlorine substitution in the 2,3,7,8 
      positions. The environmental management and control of PCDD/Fs is addressed at a 
      global level through the Stockholm Convention that establishes that POPs should 
      be destroyed or irreversibly transformed in order to reduce or eliminate their 
      release to the environment. Several technologies, including advanced oxidation 
      processes (AOPs) such as photolysis, photocatalysis and Fenton oxidation, have 
      been considered as effective methods for destroying PCDD/Fs in polluted waters. 
      Nevertheless, during the remediation of wastewaters it is critical that the 
      treatment technologies applied do not lead to the formation of by-products that 
      are themselves POPs, especially if PCDD/Fs precursors or chlorine are present in 
      the reaction medium. Despite the high effectiveness of AOPs in the oxidation of 
      major contaminants, scarce references deal with the monitoring of PCDD/Fs in the 
      course of the oxidation process, revealing that a detailed assessment of 
      non-combustion technologies with respect to PCDD/Fs formation is still lacking. 
      This study reports a review of the state of the art related to the potential 
      remediation and/or formation of PCDD/Fs as a result of the application of AOPs 
      for the treatment of polluted waters, warning on the correct selection of the 
      operating conditions.
