Summary

Researchers investigated the combined effects of polyamide microplastics and three common antimicrobials -- sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, and triclosan -- alongside reclaimed water irrigation on lettuce growth and soil bacterial community composition. The study examined how simultaneous exposure to microplastics and pharmaceutical contaminants alters soil microbial ecology in agricultural settings.

Polymers

This project aimed to study the effects of polyamide microplastics and common antimicrobials (sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, and triclosan) on soil bacterial communities of lettuce soil.
