Herein, we present the guiding principles of environmental theoretical calculation for non-periodic systems. A summary is given of recent progress towards the use of environmental theoretical calculation to reveal the degradation/transformation mechanisms of contaminants in reactions. %B Trends in Chemistry %V 5 %P 410-414 %G eng %U http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589597423000904 %R http://doi.org/10.1016/j.trechm.2023.03.009
