Uptake of different pharmaceuticals in soil and mycorrhizal artichokes from wastewater

Francesco De Mastro et al.

Summary: Irrigation with treated wastewater can lead to the presence of pharmaceuticals in soils and crops, posing potential toxic and adverse effects on humans. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have the ability to reduce organic soil pollutants, but their effectiveness depends on the specific fungi, plant species, and contaminant type. This study aimed to evaluate the uptake of pharmaceuticals from different qualities of wastewater used for irrigation in mycorrhizal artichoke plants and the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The results showed that only when artichoke plants were irrigated with groundwater spiked with selected pharmaceuticals, carbamazepine and fluconazole were found in the edible parts. Mycorrhizal plants exhibited reduced uptake of pharmaceuticals, with the Septoglomus viscosum strain being particularly effective in preventing absorption and translocation.

Azole fungicides: (Bio)degradation, transformation products and toxicity elucidation

Amanda Pacholak et al.

Summary: The study shows that the increasing consumption of azole antifungal agents leads to their uncontrolled release into the environment, and biological and chemical degradation methods can effectively remove these agents. Among the azole fungicides examined, climbazole was the most susceptible to biological removal, while a combination of UV treatment and the Fenton reaction offered the best results for removal.

Effects of reclaimed wastewater irrigation on soil-crop systems in China: A review

Sidan Lyu et al.

Summary: Reclaimed wastewater offers a significant opportunity for irrigation of agricultural crops in China, but concerns remain about contaminants such as heavy metals and emerging pollutants. While the immediate negative effects on soil quality and crop growth from reclaimed wastewater are minor, attention is needed for long-term risks and measures should be taken to increase safety in agricultural irrigation with reclaimed wastewater.

Contaminants of emerging concerns in recycled water: Fate and risks in agroecosystems

Qingyang Shi et al.

Summary: Recycled water (RW) is recognized as a valuable source for alleviating water crisis. However, the use of RW for agricultural irrigation introduces contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) into the agroecosystem, raising concerns over their potential risks. Understanding the fate processes of CECs in the water-soil-plant continuum is crucial for the safe reuse of RW. Current studies show limited accumulation of CECs in irrigated soils and plants, indicating minimal health risks from RW-fed food crops. However, further research is needed to understand the offsite movement and plant accumulation of CECs under field conditions.

Influence of chemical and mineralogical soil properties on the adsorption of sulfamethoxazole and diclofenac in Mediterranean soils

Francesco De Mastro et al.

Summary: The mineralogical composition and organic matter content of soils have significant influences on the adsorption of sulfamethoxazole and diclofenac. The adsorption of diclofenac is positively correlated with the soil organic carbon and Al oxyhydroxides content, while sulfamethoxazole is mainly affected by the soil organic matter content. Due to its lower water solubility, sulfamethoxazole has a higher risk of leaching in soils compared to diclofenac.

Yvonne Bigott et al.

Summary: This study assessed the uptake and metabolization of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) from treated wastewater into lettuce, as well as the impact on root-associated bacteria. The results showed that lettuce irrigated with treated wastewater had higher PPCP concentrations. Furthermore, irrigation with wastewater significantly affected microbial diversity and the structure and composition of root-associated bacteria.

Reclaimed water in agriculture: A plot-scale study assessing crop uptake of emerging contaminants and pathogens

Adria Sunyer-Caldu et al.

Summary: Water management is crucial as demand for agricultural, urban, and industrial purposes increases. The use of reclaimed water in agriculture can be a suitable solution, but pathogens and chemical contaminants present in reclaimed water can accumulate in soil and crops. This study evaluated the influence of water quality, soil composition, and irrigation system on plant uptake of contaminants and pathogens, and found that the best combination to reduce these transfers was the use of reclaimed water, soils with high clay content, and a sprinkling irrigation system.

A fast-screening approach for the tentative identification of drug-related metabolites from three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in hydroponically grown edible plants by HPLC-drift-tube-ion-mobility quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Franz Mlynek et al.

Summary: Identifying unknown drug-related phase II metabolites in plants remains challenging, and a fast-screening approach using in silico databases and autoMS/MS measurement methods was developed to tentatively identify drug-related metabolites. Testing this workflow on eleven edible plants treated with three drugs led to the initial identification of 41 metabolites, some of which were previously undescribed, showing the potential of this approach in broadening knowledge of drug metabolization in plants.
