Effect of Acetaminophen (APAP) on Physiological Indicators in Lactuca sativa

Abstract: This study analyzes the effects of acetaminophen (APAP) as a contaminant on physiological characteristics of lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.). Experiments were provided in an experimental greenhouse with semi-controlled conditions. The effect of different amounts of contaminant was evaluated by using regression analysis. Plants were grown in five concentrations of APAP: 0 µM, 5 µM, 50 µM, 500 µM, and 5 mM for 14 days in two variants, acute and chronic. The obtained results show that the monitored parameters … Show more

“…NSAID-induced alterations in the photosynthetic machinery as assimilation rates and stomatal conductance to water vapor decrease for all species. A similar pattern was determined in Lactuca sativa plants treated with 0.76 g L −1 paracetamol [30] and in bean plants treated with 0.30 g L −1 paracetamol [32]. Interestingly, there were differences in the assimilation rates for plants treated with different medicines, but no pattern could be observed.…”

“…The paracetamol treatment affected the chlorophyll accumulation with 1.4-22.4 mg L −1 after a 21-day exposure [29]. Separate research showed that lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.) treated with high quantities of paracetamol had a considerable drop in photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence, suggesting a possible influence on photosystem II quantum efficiency [30]. It was discovered that indometacin had a dose-dependent effect on algal growth, macromolecular synthesis, and metabolism.…”

“…The minimum chlorophyll Chl a fluorescence (F 0 ) and the maximum Chl a fluorescence (F m ) were measured with a portable fluorometer OSI 1 FL (Opti-Sciences, ADC, BioScientific, Ltd., UK), as previously described [ 88 ]. Briefly, F 0 and F m were measured with 0.8 s excitation pulse (660 nm) and saturation intensity of 15,000 µmol/m 2 s after 20 min of dark adaptation in the leaves.…”

“…In addition to their persistence and various acute toxicities, some authors have reported the decline of the vulture population in Switzerland, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal as a result of poisoning with NSAIDS [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. High toxicity to plants and microorganisms has also been reported [ 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
