“…Only two studies with plants have been reported, one with Phragmites australis and the other with cereals [33,145]. Recent works have demonstrated the ability of the classic Soxhlet extraction method to detect pharmaceutical products in plants and to detect 12 pharmaceutical products in different vegetables [34]. However, Soxhlet extraction is not usually used because, due to the high working temperatures required by Soxhlet and also the long exposure times, this method could alter the properties of the target compounds, in particular thermolabile ones.…”

“…Plant sample pretreatments also consist of (continued) the removal of the water content and also a crushing process in order to obtain fine powder samples [32]. Although not all the studies have decided to eliminate the sample moisture, water content removal could provide more stabilization to the sample when stored [33,34]. Besides, working with wet matrices makes it necessary to work with a higher amount of sample than working with dry samples.…”

“…For this reason, it is easier to adjust the pressure than the temperature of the ASE [128,129]. Similar to [126] (continued) [34] soil, MeOH, ACN, and water are the most used solvents for the extraction procedure. Different mixtures have been reported in order to achieve the optimum polarity conditions to extract the targeted compounds and avoiding interferences from the matrix plant [40,74,130].…”

Pharmaceuticals have been becoming a major concern of environmental pollution since the beginning of the century. The ways in which these contaminants are introduced into the environment are very different, but almost always associated with wastewater. In fact, current wastewater treatment plants are not designed for the removal of pharmaceutical products. Indeed, the problem of water scarcity has played an important role in the introduction of pharmaceutical products into the environment, particularly in the agricultural sector. Because of the drought, more and more countries are resorting to the use of treated wastewater to irrigate vegetables for human consumption. Consequently, the reuse of wastewater in agriculture constitutes a continuous introduction of these molecules into the soil. The effects of this practice are not entirely clear. However, the probability that these compounds can enter the food chain directly is high. In fact, through radical absorption, plants could uptake pharmaceuticals from soil and water, leading to the accumulation of drugs in the tissues. The development of analytical methods of solid matrices such as soil or plant tissues requires substantial work due to the great complexity of the matrices and the differences between the physico-chemical properties of analytes of interest. Several multi-class methods have recently been developed to determine a large number of pharmaceutical products in soil or plants using different extraction techniques. This chapter addresses to list all the analytical procedures published so far used for the extraction and analysis of pharmaceutical products from plant tissues and from the soil irrigated with treated wastewater.

“…Deodorants are products that are applied on the skin with the intention of masking or eliminating such bad odor with the use of fragrances or by eliminating bacteria with the use of antiseptics. For example, triclosan is a broad‐spectrum antimicrobial that is widely used in deodorant formulations and because it is so ubiquitous, concerns have been expressed over its safety and, more recently, with its environmental toxicity 1,2,3 . As already mentioned above, in antiperspirant formulations, aluminum salts are the most widely used actives.…”

Deodorants and antiperspirants: identification of new strategies and perspectives to prevent and control malodor and sweat of the body

et al. 2021

Excessive sweating and body odors in many cultures can cause negative perceptions of an individual and in many cases is related to poor hygiene. Personal hygiene products have been developed with the intention of preventing these undesirable issues. The aim of this paper is to review the main active ingredients used in marketed deodorant and antiperspirant formulations as well as to identify new strategies and future methods to optimize such products and prevent malodor. PubMed and ScienceDirect databases were used to search for studies reporting the use of deodorants and antiperspirants, the compounds used in the formulations, their mechanisms of action and associated controversies, as well as new trends and approaches in the area. Even today, we are still using well‐known and established actives such as triclosan and aluminum salts, and these are still the most used compounds in deodorants with bactericidal and antiperspirant properties. These substances have been on the market for more than 40 years, and still there are many questions concerning the safety of both actives. There is a general increased interest globally for lifestyles that focus on sustainability and more natural products such as plant sources and the use of, for example, essential oils. The research that focuses in the area of antiperspirants and deodorants is now more focused on studies of the armpit biochemistry and function and control of the microbiota present in this area. Other possible areas of interest are biotechnological solutions and finding new compounds that will interfere with the biochemistry of the process of sweat decomposition. Further approaches include formulations with probiotics which would maintain the balance of axillary microbiota.

“…By irrigating fresh produce, especially overhead, edible plant parts can get contaminated with these micropollutants. Moreover, uptake of pharmaceutical pollutants such as antibiotics by different crops has been shown in real agricultural systems [ 28 ], and the introduction of ARB can affect the plant microbiome, which represents a major pathway of human exposure to microbes [ 29 ]. Nevertheless, irrigation water is not monitored routinely for pathogenic bacteria, let alone for ARB or ARG content.…”

Transferable Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) Plasmids in Enterobacteriaceae from Irrigation Water

et al. 2020

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are classified as serious threats to human health by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Water used for irrigation of fresh produce can transmit such resistant bacteria directly to edible plant parts. We screened ESBL-producing Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, and Citrobacter freundii isolated from irrigation water for their potential to transmit resistance to antibiotic-susceptible E. coli. All strains were genome-sequenced and tested in vitro for transmission of resistance to third-generation cephalosporins on solid agar as well as in liquid culture. Of the 19 screened isolates, five ESBL-producing E. coli were able to transfer resistance with different efficiency to susceptible recipient E. coli. Transconjugant strains were sequenced for detection of transferred antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and compared to the known ARG pattern of their respective donors. Additionally, phenotypic resistance patterns were obtained for both transconjugant and corresponding donor strains, confirming ESBL-producing phenotypes of all obtained transconjugants.
