Veterinary antibiotics differ in phytotoxicity on oilseed rape grown over a wide range of concentrations
Chemosphere. 2024 Apr 10:141977. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141977. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResidues of veterinary antibiotics are a worldwide problem of increasing concern due to their persistence and diverse negative effects on organisms, including crops, and limited understanding of their phytotoxicity. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the phytotoxic effects of veterinary antibiotics tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) applied in a wide range of concentrations on model plant oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Overall phytotoxicity of 1-500 mg kg-1 of TC and CIP was investigated based on morphological,...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1760: Adsorption of Ciprofloxacin on Clay Minerals in Argentinian Santa Rosa-Corrientes Soils
o Sainz-Díaz
The presence of antibiotics in soils is increasing drastically in last decades due to the intensive farming industry and excessive human consumption. Clay minerals are one of the soil components with great adsorption capacity for organic pollutants. The study of interactions between antibiotics and mineral surfaces will give us scientific knowledge of these pollutants through soils. In this work, we study the adsorption of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin in the clay mineral fraction of soils from the Argentinian zone of Santa Rosa (Corrientes), in a collaborative research of experiments and atomistic modelli...

Urea promoted soil microbial community and reduced the residual ciprofloxacin in soil and its uptake by Chinese flowering cabbage
In conclusion, moderate urea addition significantly increased soil microbial activity and abundance, which in turn promoted the ciprofloxacin dissipation in soil and plant tissue. The present study provides an economical and operational strategy for the remediation of ciprofloxacin contaminated soils.PMID:38602632 | DOI:10.1007/s11356-024-33213-0 (Source: Environmental Science and Pollution Research International)

Enhanced degradation and removal of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin through advanced oxidation and adsorption processes using environmentally friendly modified carbon nanotubes
This study explores the utilization of adsorption and advanced oxidation processes for the degradation of ofloxacin (OFL) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) using a green functionalized carbon nanotube (MWCNT-OH/COOH-E) as adsorbent and catalyst material. The stability and catalytic activity of the solid material were proved by FT-IR and TG/DTG, which also helped to elucidate the reaction mechanisms. In adsorption kinetic studies, both antibiotics showed similar behavior, with an equilibrium at 30 min and 60% removal. The adsorption kinetic data of both antibiotics were well described by the pseudo-first-order (PFO) model. Different ...
