Effects of antibiotics on aquatic plant growth and removal of antibiotics by plants in water containing microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that certain aquatic plants, especially Canna indica (a common ornamental plant), can help remove antibiotic pollution from water, even when microplastics are also present, though the plastics do make the cleanup somewhat less effective (10-20% weaker). This matters because antibiotics and microplastics are increasingly showing up together in rivers and lakes, and finding cost-effective, natural ways to filter them out could help protect drinking water sources and reduce the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment.
