Abstract

This work is a specific evaluation of sorption of antibiotics such as sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim and assessment of their influence on the mobility and bioavailability of metals in soil.The obtained results indicate that sulfamethoxazole is characterized by low sorption and its presence in the soil increased the bioavailability of metals for maize. In contrast, trimethoprim exhibited high sorption in the soil matrix and caused retention of metal ions, thus reducing their availability to plants. The change in the levels of assimilation pigments in maize, which was planted in soil with antibiotics, indicates that oxidative stress occurred in the plant.
