A study conducted by researchers at the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture at the University of São Paulo (CENA-USP) and published in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe identified residues of different classes of antibiotics in the Piracicaba River, one of the main waterways in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The study also assessed how these substances accumulate in fish and how an aquatic plant widely found in the region, Salvinia auriculata, can partially mitigate this accumulation.
