Veterinary antibiotics are widely used worldwide to treat and prevent infectious diseases, as well (in countries where allowed) promote growth improve feeding efficiency of food-producing animals in livestock activities. Among the different antibiotic classes, tetracyclines sulfonamides two most for veterinary proposals. Due fact that these compounds poorly absorbed gut animals, a significant proportion (up ~90%) them excreted unchanged, thus reaching environment mainly through application...
Microorganisms play a key role in nutrient cycling agriculture and can contribute to improve soil quality enhance crop production. Thus, there is need identify the most suitable management practices which foster increases microbial biomass diversity. A meta-analysis was performed assess changes abundance agricultural soils affected by: (i) (tillage, fertilization diversification); (ii) environmental factors, including climate characteristics properties. The scope of evaluate whether...
The effect of pH on the instantaneous growth soil bacterial communities was studied in five soils with different (4.5–7.8) using leucine (Leu) and thymidine (TdR) incorporation. dependency modelled three unimodal functions, pHopt for range which >50% optimal were compared. Leu TdR incorporation yielded very similar results. best fits obtained a third-degree polynomial function cardinal model. However, simple second-degree adequate most cases, yielding values to other two models. Bacterial...
Biocides are common additives in building materials. In-can and film preservatives polymer-resin render paint, as well wood used to protect facade materials from microbial spoilage. leach the material with driving rain, leading highly polluted runoff water (up several mg L–1 biocides) being infiltrated into soil surrounding houses. In present study degradation rates of 11 biocides for protection were determined laboratory microcosms. The results show that some degraded rapidly (e.g.,...
The partitioning between the soil solid phase and solution determines mobility of pollutants like heavy metals. If nonspecific sorption takes place, reactions are easily reversible metals released to increasing probability leaching through profile. Mobility also favoured if other in system competition for specific adsorption sites place. In this study, desorption equilibrium experiments were conducted after ones. was evaluated amounts still adsorbed Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni Zn ten different soils....
Summary In northern Spain and elsewhere in the world, many vineyards are located on steep slopes susceptible to accelerated soil erosion. Contaminants, notably Cu, originating from repeated application of copper‐based fungicides vines prevent mildew, transported stored sediments deposited close valley bottoms. this study, contents distribution Cu 17 samples 21 sediment collected vineyard stands were determined. addition, effect pH release soils was quantified. The total content (Cu T )...
This work focuses on studying the efficacy of three different by-products to adsorb antibiotics (sulfadiazine, SDZ; sulfamethazine, SMT; sulfachloropyridazine, SCP). These can be considered pollutants environment when they reach water, as well in cases where are spread soils through irrigation or contained sewage sludge livestock manure. In this study, batch-type adsorption/desorption experiments were performed for each sulfonamides, adding 7 concentrations antibiotics, going from 1 50 μmol...
The presence of emerging pollutants, and specifically antibiotics, in agricultural soils has increased notably recent decades, causing growing concern as regards potential environmental health issues. With this mind, the current study focuses on evaluating toxicity exerted by three antibiotics (amoxicillin, trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin) growth soil bacterial communities, when these pollutants are present at different doses, considered short, medium, long terms (1, 8 42 days incubation)....
