Cover Story: Cefuroxime is considered to be an emerging pollutant. To face related contamination issues, three low-cost bio-adsorbents (pine bark, oak ash, and mussel shell) were added to different soil samples at doses of 12 and 48 t/ha. Pine bark (pH = 3.99) increased the adsorption to 100% in most cases, while oak ash (pH = 11.31) and mussel shell (pH = 9.39) caused a clearly lower increase. The Freundlich and Linear models fitted well to the experimental data when the bio-adsorbents were added. There was no desorption when soils received bio-adsorbent amendments. These results could help in preventing pollution by this antibiotic, an aspect which is clearly relevant for environmental and human health. View this paper
