Soil and Wastewater Properties that Influence the Uptake of Anti(retro)viral Pharmaceuticals in Plants
This study evaluated the fate of anti(retro)viral (ARVDs) pharmaceutical compounds in the wastewater-soil-plant-human continuum. Wastewater frequently contains pharmaceutical micropollutants. A cause to worry is the potential uptake and bioaccumulation of these biologically active contaminants via …
