Key points
- Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) may be an underestimated oxidant in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).
- Current methods for quantifying reactive species in AOPs are often misinterpreted.
- Improved assessment frameworks are needed to accurately determine the role of ¹O₂.
- Accurate quantification will lead to more robust and effective water treatment strategies.

Abstract
quantification methods, which often lead to misinterpretations, are also discussed. By addressing these methodological challenges and providing a framework for improved assessment, this review aims to prevent misinterpretations of reactive species' roles and support the development of more effective and scientifically robust advanced oxidation strategies for water treatment.
