Constructed wetlands operated as bioelectrochemical systems for the removal of organic micropollutants
(2021-05)
Article
Open AccessThe removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has been investigated in constructed wetlands (CWs) operated as bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The operation of CWs as BES (CW-BES), either in the form of microbial fuel ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Impacte de la contaminació ambiental als cultius periurbans o de proximitat. Estudi de cas: el parc agrari del Baix Llobregat
(2018-06-01)
Article
Open AccessL'agricultura periurbana o de proximitat proporciona nombrosos avantatges des del punt de vista social, econòmic i paisatgístic. Per exemple, la curta distància entre la zona productiva i el consumidor final proporciona ... -
Implications of the use of organic fertilizers for antibiotic resistance gene distribution in agricultural soils and fresh food products. A plot-scale study
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Article
Open AccessThe spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) into agricultural soils, products, and foods severely limits the use of organic fertilizers in agriculture. In order to help designing agricultural practices that minimize ... -
Metabolomic and phenotypic implications of the application of fertilization products containing microcontaminants in lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
(Nature, 2021-12-01)
Article
Open AccessCultivation practice using organic amendments is plausible to ensure global food security. However, plant abiotic stress due to the presence of metals and organic microcontaminants (OMCs) in fertilization products cannot ... -
Occurrence and bioaccumulation of chemical contaminants in lettuce grown in peri-urban horticulture
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)
Article
Open AccessPeri-urban horticulture performs environmental and socio-economic functions and provides ecological services to nearby urban areas. Nevertheless, industrialization and water pollution have led to an increase in the exposure ... -
Occurrence and human health risk assessment of antibiotics and trace elements in Lactuca sativa amended with different organic fertilizers
(2020-11-01)
Article
Open AccessSoil amendment with organic fertilizers is an effective approach to improve soil fertility. However, organic fertilizers may contain pollutants such as trace elements (TEs) and antibiotics (ABs), which, once deployed in ... -
Occurrence of antibiotics in Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) following organic soil fertilisation under plot-scale conditions: Crop and human health implications
(2022-08)
Article
Open AccessRecent studies have demonstrated the crop uptake of antibiotics (ABs) from soils treated with AB-carrying fertilisers. However, there is a lack of plot-scale studies linking their effects at the agronomic and metabolomic ... -
Occurrence of chemical contaminants in peri-urban agricultural irrigation waters and assessment of their phytotoxicity and crop productivity
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - author's decisionWater scarcity and water pollution have increased the pressure on water resources worldwide. This pressure is particularly important in highly populated areaswherewater demand exceeds the available natural resources. In ... -
Ocurrence and human health implications of chemical contaminants in vegetables grown in peri-urban agriculture
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
Article
Open AccessRecent studies have proven that vegetables cultivated in peri-urban areas are exposed to a greater concentration of organic microcontaminants (OMCs) and trace elements (TEs) than those grown in rural areas. In this study, ... -
Phycobiliprotein recovery coupled to the tertiary treatment of wastewater in semi-continuous photobioreactors: tracking contaminants of emerging concern
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Open AccessThis study evaluated a tertiary wastewater treatment technology using cyanobacteria to recover value-added phycobiliproteins. The presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in wastewater, cyanobacterial biomass ... -
Removal and environmental risk assessment of contaminants of emerging concern from irrigation waters in a semi-closed microalgae photobioreactor
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Article
Open AccessThe present study evaluated the efficiency of a semi-closed, tubular, horizontal photobioreactor (PBR) to treat a mixture of irrigation and rural drainage water, focusing in the removal of different contaminants of emerging ... -
