Pharmaceuticals were added at concentrations of 0.1 mg/ kg soil, or 10 mg/kg soil. The authors collected soil samples in 2013, before and following the fourth annual application of pharmaceuticals. In addition, a (30‐day) laboratory experiment was undertaken with the same soil and same pharmaceuticals, but at ...
Chemical and physical characterisation, nutritive and organic contents, and trace elements presence were also investigated. The contamination effects on soil functional qualities and plant nutrition were evaluated; furthermore DNA damage with short-term genotoxicity tests and DNA biosensor on polluted soils and gravitational water, was detected. ...
