Antibiotic Pollution in Freshwater: Impacts on Agricultural Ecosystems

This study reveals how antibiotics like ciprofloxacin spread in saturated porous environments, inhibiting their transport via sediment particles. Mechanisms such as adsorption, electrostatic interactions, and sedimentation play a key role, threatening human health and sustainable agriculture. Understanding these dynamics helps assess ecological risks and develop innovative technologies to purify agricultural waters and soils. Simulation models predict these behaviors, promoting more effective environmental management in agritech.
