Interaction of selected antidepressants with higher plants as a model of environmental contamination
Herčíková, Adéla ; Smrček, Stanislav (advisor) ; Bělonožníková, Kateřina (referee)
In recent years, the study of drug residues in the environment, which appear to be responsible for a number of adverse ecotoxicological effects, has become increasingly important. Psychopharmaceuticals have a prominent place among the pharmaceuticals, the consumption of which is increasing dramatically and it is appropriate to look for ways to remove them from the ecosystem and to assess the possibility of contamination of food chains. This work concerns the study of phytoextraction of psychopharmaceuticals mianserin and olanzapine. Mianserin belongs to the tetracyclic antidepressants (TCAs). It is mainly used to treat depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Olanzapine belongs to the group of atypical antipsychotics. It is used to treat psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. Phytoextraction is an environmentally friendly process that allows the removal of residual concentrations of pollutants from aquatic ecosystems. These pollutants can be released into the environment even after passing through a wastewater treatment plant. Unfortunately, even the treatment of water for drinking purposes cannot completely remove residual concentrations of pharmaceutical substances. This has led to a constant search for new methods of wastewater decontamination. In this work,...
