Abstract:A growing body of evidence suggests that amending soil with biosolids can be an integral component of sustainable agriculture. Despite strong evidence supporting its beneficial use in agriculture, there are concerns that chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, could present a risk to terrestrial ecosystems and human health. Triclosan is one of the most commonly detected compounds in biosolids. To date, laboratory studies indicate that triclosan likely poses a de minimis risk to field cro… Show more
“…When considering the chemical contaminants added to the soil, triclosan has previously been shown to have no adverse effects on maize, soybean, and spring wheat. 60 Barbera et al exposed rice (Oryza sativa) to a mixture of ibuprofen and caffeine which resulted in a 51 % increase in rice grain yield. 61 Conversely, sulfamethoxazole (8.0 µM in Murashige and Skoog solid medium) has been shown to decrease the root length and shoot biomass of Arabidopsis thaliana by 95 % and 90 %, respectively.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
