Dose effect of Zn and Cu in sludge-amended soils on vegetable uptake of trace elements, antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance genes: Human health implications
(2020-12)
Article
Open AccessThe application of sewage sludge to agricultural fields reduces the need for mineral fertilizers by increasing soil organic matter, but may also increase soil pollution. Previous studies indicate that zinc and copper, as ... -
Effect of soil biochar concentration on the mitigation of emerging organic contaminant uptake in lettuce
(2017-02-05)
Article
Open AccessAlthough crop uptake of emerging organic contaminants (EOC) from irrigation water and soils has been previously reported, successful mitigation strategies have not yet been established. In this study, soil was amended with ... -
Effects of tetracycline, sulfonamide, fluoroquinolone, and lincosamide load in pig slurry on lettuce: Agricultural and human health implications
(2022-12)
Article
Open AccessThe application of pig slurry as fertilizer in agriculture provides nutrients, but it can also contain veterinary medicines, including antibiotic residues (ABs), which can have an ecotoxicological impact on agroecosyste ... -
Emerging organic contaminant removal depending on primary treatment and operational strategy in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands : Influence of redox
(2013-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study aimed at assessing the influence of primary treatment (hydrolytic upflow sludge blanket (HUSB) reactor vs. conventional settling) and operational strategy (alternation of saturated/ unsaturated phases vs. ... -
Emerging organic contaminant removal in a full-scale hybrid constructed wetland system for wastewater treatment and reuse
(2015-07-01)
Article
Open AccessA full-scale hybrid constructed wetland (CW) system based on three stages of different wetlands configurations showed to be a very robust ecotechnology for domestic wastewater treatment and reuse in small communities. It ... -
Emerging organic contaminants in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands : Influence of media size, loading frequency and use of active aeration
(2014-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFour side-by-side pilot-scale vertical flow (VF) constructed wetlands of different designs were evaluated for the removal of eight widely used emerging organic contaminants from municipal wastewater (i.e. ibuprofen, ... -
