Mobility of pharmaceuticals in soil systems
Slaninová, Kristína ; Širůček, David (oponent) ; Klučáková, Martina (vedoucí práce)
As a result of improper disposal, pharmaceuticals from households, industry or hospitals are discharged into the environment. Another source through which pharmaceuticals enter the environment is the fertilization of the soil with organic fertilizers or other natural fertilizers containing animal excreta. Medications penetrate into the environment through sewage, entering wastewater, groundwater, surface water, drinking water, and soil, posing an environmental threat. Chelating properties of the organic component of soil could potentially be a solution to the problem of medication presence in soil by preventing migration of the medication. Sulfathiazole is among the group of medications frequently detected in the environment. Sulfathiazole is a sulfonamide antibiotic primarily used in veterinary medicine. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to determine the concentration profile of sulfathiazole in the soil column and to identify its diffusion coefficients. The thesis also includes a study of the sorption and desorption of sulfathiazole in soil.
