Pharmaceutical residues are widespread in the environment. Some active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are present at levels that may negatively affect organisms in surface water, sediment and soil. This report highlights results from the three year-project Clear Waters from Pharmaceuticals (CWPharma) funded by the EU’s Interreg Baltic Sea Region...

The aim of the study was to seek a method for the quick revegetation of depleted peat mining areas in a near-city landscape where the natural recovery of vegetation was impeded by a lack of some nutrients. The test area was pure milled peat that remained mainly free of vegetation cover for ten years after the mining process ended. Seedlings of Alnu...

Recent decades have shown intensive studies devoted to the fate of pharmaceuticals in the environment. These studies have involved the development of analytical tools, determination of pharmaceuticals in different compartments, composting technologies, and plant uptake of pharmaceuticals. The presence of organic pollutants in sewage sludge, includi...

There are many different scenarios for abandoned cutover peatlands: recovering commercial peat production, afforesting the peat area (Nilson and Lundin 1996, Holden 2004, Lachance et al. 2005), leaving it to regenerate naturally (Ruseckas et al. 2015), restoring the bog plant community by blocking runoff (Gonzales et al. 2014, Jaraðius et al. 2015)...

A simultaneous method for quantitative determination of traces of fluoroquinolones (FQs) and sulfonamides (SAs) in edible plants fertilized with sewage sludge was developed. The compounds were extracted from the plants by rapid and simple liquid extraction followed by extracts clean-up using solid phase extraction. The eluent additive 1,1,1,3,3,3-h...

Land application of sewage sludge compost is an important and efficient tool in the remediation of industrial landscapes and agricultural soils in Estonia. A number of studies have shown that, as a rule, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are neither completely removed by sewage treatment, nor completely degraded in the environment....

This review is to reflect the work addressed to the application of biosolids and especially sewage sludge as a resource in composting. A considerable drop in the use of P fertilisers can be followed since early 1990s. Due to this fact crop production in Estonia takes place at the expense of soil phosphorous (P) resources. One of the ways of increas...

This study was conducted to compare how the nutrients and organic matter content in household kitchen wastes and sewage sludge transform in 120-days vermicomposting experiment. The concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium increased during the experiment. The dry matter content of the composts decreased and the value of pH in the case o...

The application of sewage sludge compost as a fertilizer can be a source of the contamination of food plants by pharmaceutical products. In this study the uptake of ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, sulfadimethoxine and sulfamethoxazole from soil into potato was demonstrated. The concentrations of the studied pharmaceuticals were of considerab...
