This paper studies the degradation and enhancement of biodegradability of Diclofenac and Ibuprofen, two widely used Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), by means of O 3 , UV-VIS and O 3 /UV-VIS processes. The experimental results show that ozonation is efficient for degrading both pharmaceuticals and the UV-VIS radiation treatment is only efficient for the case of Diclofenac. The combined O 3 /UV-VIS process improves only Ibuprofen degradation. For both pharmaceuticals, mineralization never exceeds 30% in all the treatments tested and biodegradability increases slightly with the use of O 3  and O 3 /UV-VIS.
